November

*	November 4-6  - Car Camping/Dayhiking - Let's enjoy the fall colors
at Cedar Lake, OK with a family car camping outing. This will be an EASY
outing - perfect for both adults and children. This adventure will give a
chance to explore, enjoy, and to learn techniques to protect our wonderful
Oklahoma outdoors. Our outing will include a walk/hike of around Cedar Lake
for 2 to 3 leisurely miles. Another family walk will include visiting the
horse campground giving us a chance to not only to see and to smell, but to
touch some of the horses. On Sunday morning, we will take a ride on the
world famous Oklahoma Talimena Trail as we start back home. This outing
permits us not only to learn about this beautiful part of OK; but, also it
gives us the opportunity to experience car camping, to learn of particular
conservation issues in this part of OK, to practice conservation issues and
car camping/wilderness courtesy ("if you pack it in, you pack it out"), to
explore historical sites, to watch and learn about wonders of the night sky,
and to develop friendships with like-minded people. View complete details

previously scheduled for Sat, Nov. 5 has been postponed to Sat, Feb. 4,
2012. Contact  <mailto:sderichsweiler at cox.net> sderichsweiler at cox.net if you
are interested in getting involved. Corporations are basically stealing our
water supply, wasting huge amounts of water and energy in the transportation
and bottling of it, and selling it back to us for over 1,000 times the cost
of tap water. Resisting water privatization is one of the Sierra Club's
conservation goals (see our brochure here:
