100-plus volunteers repair, reroute trails on Turkey Mountain

Michael Patton, executive director of The Metropolitan Environmental Trust, which helped organize the volunteers, said the event was unique because of the wilderness area itself — you can’t just drive a truck up the trails. Crews had to “do it the hard way to keep it wilderness,” Patton said, by using wheelbarrows to carry up gravel and dirt to fill in eroded terrain.

Hiking on Turkey Mountain

There is nothing like going through the woods. You can see a lot and hear a lot. It is amazing how loud some of our fellow people are and how quiet the animals are. Sounds travel far in winter woods.

A New Tulsa publication: The River’s Edge Magazine

Tulsa has a new publication that highlights activities, businesses, and developments along the Arkansas River corridor and in West Tulsa. The River’s Edge Magazine has just published the second issue, I’m excited about this publication. It’s put together well, has great photos, and good writers. It covers a lot of Tulsa history and documents visions and developments of our river, and this one edition features a story on the possible development of the land adjacent to HWY 75 at 61st Street.
