I went on a little geocaching expedition in southeast Oklahoma last Friday. Southeast Oklahoma is nicknamed “Little Dixie” because historically and culturally it shares a lot of traits with Arkansas, Lousiana, and east Texas.<\/p>\n

At Hugo lake I had to hiking across a couple bridges. The first one, although shaky, was doable.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The second bridge was under water. As we say in natural gas business. I plugged and abandoned this cache.
\"\"<\/a>I ran into a major distraction at two caches in an abandoned town named Doaksville. I had never heard of Doaksville but at one time it was one of the largest towns in Indian Territory. It has been a major archeological site and there are tons of interpretive signs and information. I spent a couple hours their poking around. I’m researching another “My World” post for Doaksville. It is of major historical importance. For instance the last confederate general to surrender after the Civil War did it at Doaksville. The town was abandoned for various reasons in the 1880’s and was just left to rot.
\"\"<\/a>Next, Idabel, home of the Girls of Today in Idabel Oklahoma.<\/a> I had been there several times but had never found a cache there.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The cache I found in Idabel was in a bamboo patch. What’s up with that? Bamboo?<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>Then I drove up to Beaver’s Bend State Park. One of the jewels of the Oklahoma State Park System. I found a couple caches there and two whitetail deer and a deer fawn who popped up from its hiding place about 15 feet away from me.
\"\"<\/a>
\"\"<\/a>Beaver’s Bend is a beautiful place to visit. Fortunately for geocachers. I think only about 1 in a hundred people go more than 50 yards off the trails.
\"\"<\/a>
\"\"<\/a>At about 7 pm I called it quits. I called Sweetie and told her that I was driving home.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I got home a few minutes after midnight. What a day!<\/p>\n
