I’m a little late in writing this post. Back during the Thanksgiving weekend my brother Bob drove up from Corpus Christi to spend the holiday with us. One day I took he and my son Logan to Oxley Nature Center<\/a> here in Tulsa for a little hike.<\/p>\n

They have a great nature center at Oxley with helpful people who will give you as much information as you need, everything from a map to helpful directions, and of course flush toilets. Right outside the door headed for the trails is this, an insect hotel. I think it is more like a homeowners nightmare. It is kind of cool though.<\/p>\n

Oxley has a great variety of trails.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN2808\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Even with a lot of people by the time you get a quarter mile away from the parking lot you hardly see anyone.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN2786\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Oxley is kind of low and has lots of water even during the drought that we are emerging from.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN2784\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It has a great variety of terrain from deep woods and brush to more open areas. We walked about four miles or so during a nice warm day.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN2793\"<\/a><\/p>\n

it looks like a duck lost a battle after a furious fight.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN2812\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m a geocacher and found one out in the brush while Bob and Logan waited on me (they don’t like geocaching.) We also passed this cache that I found several years ago. Nice to see that it is still there.<\/p>\n

We liked all the benches and places to rest. Oxley is a great place to spend a nice afternoon.<\/p>\n
