Anyone from the "Sooner State?

Like I said, you're going to drag out the 50 states all year.....

I enjoyed my time at Fort Sill,

Wabi have you been to Florida

No.

Nvr bin

I'm headed to Tulsa in less than a month. Does that count?

"Living on Tulsa Time,"

Yep, reddest state, proud Okie !!!

I was born there, but moved to Texas while still in Kindergarten. Been here ever since.

Nope, but the bride is from Pryor

Red clay

Red dirt, Red man, Red school, Red blood, Ready to go🤠

I don’t claim all of it, but I definitely am.

Proud Okie here.

NW Okie here!

God’s country. Unfortunately we’re completely full to capacity. It’s pretty much a nonstop stream of tornadoes, floods, dust storms, wildfires, and grasshopper hordes anyway.

I saw that movie.

Used to make training flights into Tinker AFB. Have been to an all-night rodeo in Ardmore. That's about the extent of it.

As a state, I guess it's OK.

Oklahoma? Which one? Southeast Oklahoma isn’t like Northeast Oklahoma. Tulsa ain’t like Oklahoma City. The Wichitas ain’t like the Ouachitas. And from places in the Panhandle you’re closer to Denver than Oklahoma City.

Granddad's family homesteaded in Indian Territory, and everywhere else the grass was supposed to be greener, until Kim, Colorado took the pioneer spirit out of them for good.

This guy has the lowdown. I have friends or family, live or have lived myself in all of these areas and they truly are very different places. I like the wind and the open spaces so I’ll not be caught on the east side of I35 for any longer than necessary. I love the Panhandle but to live there a man had better be tough and it’d be best if he’d already made his fortune someplace else as it’ll be hard to come by out there.

Place I'm sitting on was a "homestead". Don't know what was chasing the wife's great grandfather, but he came here in 1904.

The place has NO redeeming features! Red clay with elm and black locust trees. .....and encroaching mesquite!
About the only thing worth the effort was that the clay WILL grow grain!

Seventy four now and have been living here for a little over 43 years....can't complain.

been here 45 years. happy to call it home.

My father was president of the Oklahoma City Gun Club for many years and I spent a LOT of my childhood on that property. He and my brother and I were all in the Oklahoma National Guard. I left when I went active duty in the Army. I spent nearly 30 years away and have only started going back recently.


Okie John

Okie from Muskogee?

I was born in Tulsa, moved to Texas when I was about 1.5 years old, been here ever since. My Grandfather was proud that he was born in Indian Territory.

I have not

Rogers, and Hammerstein didn't wright a musical about Iowa.

Well I never been to heaven.

But I been to Oklahoma.

Born here, probably die here. Been here 74 years and counting.

Our dads were probably friends. My dad was a charter member when the Gun Club started. He once drove a road grader to Arcadia when they were building roads and backstops on the club property. I also had home movies of the National Guard using dynamite to remove rock to build the bullseye (Conventional/Precision) pistol course. I spent a lot of time in the pit pulling targets on the high power range. I'm still a member of the club but don't compete. I may sight in a rifle at the bench rest targets but I can't give up the membership.

I know parts of Oklahoma pretty well
if I ever moved from Missouri Oklahoma would be one of the first States I would prefer to move to.

probably like Oklahoma Texas then a number 3 would be Kansas if it were not for being politics like it is nowadays (I lived in St John Kansas for awhile several years ago)
the number three instead of Kansas might be Louisiana.

One set of Great Grandparents and one set of Grandparents homesteaded in SW Oklahoma Territory in 1898 and 1900 respectively. Mom and Dad rode out the Dust Bowl when the wimps went to Kalifornia. I've never lived anywhere else, yeah, I guess I qualify as being from the Sooner State.

I graduated from Norman High School. And I went to college at OU. When I was younger I’d go up to NE Oklahoma often and float the Illinois River and jump off of those cliffs at Lake Tenkiller. When I was older, I spent a LOT of time in the Wichita Mountains. I love the Wichita Mountains; I’ve hiked and climbed all over em.’ Some of the Charon's Garden Wilderness Area part of the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge is some of the most tortured landscape that I’ve ever seen. Elk Mountain in particular is a pretty special place.

Bud Wilkenson?

Never heard of it....

See the Wichita's every day !!!

You too?

Live in Cache?

Wabi you getting paid to take up space by the dnc with you stupid inane posts?

No I don't live very far from you but I work between Lawton and Cache...

The guys in the 405 got some fast Hotrods!

Nope! I live down by Waurika Lake. On clear days, we can still see Mt. Scott.
Up around Cache is too plains like for my taste. Where we live is more like where I grew up in East Texas.

I'd bet they knew each other. My dad was a serious high-power shooter in the OKARNG for many years, and was the senior officer on the team when he left to go work at the Pentagon in the 80s.

If you pulled targets there in the 1970s, then we probably pulled them at the same time. An Explorer pack that specialized in SCUBA had a lock on that work and my brother was a member. I pitched in from time to time.


Okie John

Pretty close, if Camp Gruber counts.


Okie John

Live in deep SE Oklahoma. Not like any other place in Oklahoma

We are on the Red River west of you...

I'm the only one in my family that was not born in Oklahoma. Both my Dad and Mom and their parents grew up there. My step-brother lives on his farm in eastern portion near Atoka, and cousin near Bartlesville. Other family have lived in western portion near Duncan, Hobart, and Woodward where I like to hunt.

I like Oklahoma quite a bit. In my opinion it seems a lot like Texas, except a bit more Churchy, and fewer people have moved there from distant places influencing the culture and traditions. Also, the winters are colder and the summers feel just as hot.

Will Rogers?

born and raised in comanche county 64 years in this great state

the first time I drove through Oklahoma I was picturing nothing but plains and grass, boy was I surprised when I drove through the eastern part of the state.

We have fenceposts from Oklahoma.

Was part of True Grit filmed in Oklahoma?

No

Yessir, Lot's of good people in small town Western Oklahoma. The kind of people that come together to help others, even strangers without expecting anything in return.

1959-1962 my dad was stationed at Tinker AFB and we lived in Midwest City. Good times, all the way around. Then we went to Guam. Different place, but the place was epic! I miss them both.

I went squirrel hunting one day just east of Midwest City....



Another day during a visit to Dodge City.


One of my playgrounds on Guam




That danged island was ELECTRIFYING!

Fascinating. Got any pictures?

Some toe licking going on there.

I was born in Lawton, spent my younger years in Medicine Park. Still have family in the Park, my dad was raised there. Growing up in Comanche County I'm sure you spent a little time at Craterville, Lord I've heard some wild stories about that place. That was before my time but I do remember going to Eagle Park.

as a kid in the late 60's .dad took us kids to Frontier City amusment park in Oklahoma City

Been there, done that!

Oklahoma is OK.
