No amount of roto-tilling will get the roots of okie bermuda grass. The roots have been found 18 feet deep.

Default Saturday morning drive in Hooterville

Woke up early and took the GSD to Holdenville Lake for a walk. Its all dirt road, so hang on to your molars and fillings!

This ol' house. If them walls could talk, they would have a story or two to tell. This is on the north side of the lake.

As usual, there's a lot of traffic on saturday morning around the lake. I wonder who has the right-of-way...

This ol' boy stopped to talk to me, said he didn't know who they belonged to. Good looking steaks on legs, if'n you ask me.

Holdenville traffic ain't exactly jumping on saturday morning. You can bet there's a garage sale or two going on, otherwise, there wouldn't be no traffic at'all! Ya'll come back now, ya heah?!

No, I am not sure, it is what Don was telling me. He usually gets his info from OK State University extension guy.

I looked on the web (but not very hard) and the only two really interesting things I could find was the roots can go down as deep as 47 inches, but the REALLY interesting thing is, rototilling actually propagates the bermuda grass, because when the runners are cut, each one will grow new roots.

I'm going to have to use a mulch or black ground cover. Weeding just ain't cutting it this year. I have creepers and some strange grass plant I have never seen. I think it is nutgrass. Also, this heat is really taking a toll on the garden.

The only thing I know for a fact is, rototilling does not kill bermuda grass. Don has had a garden since the early 70's here in OK and before that in CO.

I posted a link to Dave's Garden on the OK gardening thread.

As the sun went down it was shining through the woods onto one of the biggest/oldest trees around there. All of a sudden they seen a reflection from the tree shaped like a star. They went over to see what it was and found it a rifle from the Civil War that had been stuck in the tree after the war was over and the tree grew around it. The only part that could be seen was a small metal part of the barrel through rotted out hole in the tree.


Yes, that is my daughter, Laura. Nice pictures of the day after the 4th, Redbird.

Uh oh, looks like woebegone days on Main Street. I wonder how big this cottonwood is going to get before someone cuts it?

Question Looking for a place to stay

I have thoroughly enjoyed the info you'all have put out on this little town. Some friends and I are planning on staying in the area, sometime in September. Would you,all be able to give me any information on places to stay. Hotels, Motels, B&B, campgrounds, lake resorts? We are very flexible and I was hoping to just get any information at all.
Thanks,
Brian from Wagoner

Thank you for the trip down memory lane. I was born in and raised around the Holdenville area, including Allen and Calvin. I have not been there in several years, but still recognized the location of most of the pictures you took. Well done. Did you also take pictures of any of the surrounding areas?

Peggy hasn't been around for awhile, but I think there are quite a few more pictures of Holdenville in the OK Picture thread. There are also a few of the surrounding area in the thread "karibear's trip" if I remember correctly.
