I took a recent walk about looking at all ( or ) most of Tulsa Districts...here's some details below.

Monday for the first time I looped the whole Tulsa River Parks East and West Bank. Walking from Tulsa Transit Main Station 4th and Cheyenne , turning and going a block west to see a ARCH WAY: rather interesting.

Walking through Soda Can apartment condo's area down to Tulsa River Park , headed west looked at Historic Route 66 monument. Took a peek at the unfinished interstate 244/44 Multi-modal bridge

Walked across old Interstate 244 bridge to Tulsa Oklahoma West Bank River Parks/Ped - Bridge/Wave Park were behind me in the distant.

Tulsa River Parks turned southward into a neigh that had some trailer park home , looked pretty interesting.

Tulsa River Parks continued to head pass some city of Tulsa City Government Facilities , and a Ped Bridge that I have to come back and get Photograph it's on my bucket list.

Tulsa River Parks ran through some industrial area that sort of smelled like LA , and the general west bank area had that industrial vibe.

THE MOST INTERESTING AREA WAS TURKEY MOUNTAIN you walk miles and miles without having access to turkey mountain park: crossing a railroad track ( got to get pic's of that ) until Tulsa River Parks runs right into turkey mountain park.

In Turkey Mountain Park you have to have GOOD BAREINGS as for finding your way through a wooded area , then you find your self near 71st Street.

Walked across 71st Street Bridge , and walked the East Bank of Tulsa River Park : ending up at the Café on the River , walked down to the Tulsa Transit Center: was picked up by Brother. I'm really impressed with the Tulsa Parks and what THE GATHERING will bring to it.

Tuesday leaving Tulsa Day.......
Tulsa Transit Station head westward to ALOFT HOTEL /Cox's Business Center/ BOK CENTER exterior needed to be washed : walked down to Houston Street 11th Street pass Librian Temp Housing to 15th Street.

Walked 15th Street to MAPLE PARK...nice area and surprising

Walked CHERRY STREET impressive for a area in Tulsa Oklahoma , I am going to have a ball taking pic's down in that area.

Walked up Utica To SWAN PARK beautiful Little Pocket Park will have a Blast Photo Taking There..

Walked Down To The Historic Route 66 which was 11th Street Area nice lots of Potential...

Walked Through the PEARL DISTRICT ..very disappointed : this area is supposed to have a canal and be a ICONIC SHINNING STAR , they need to repair the streets/side walks before they have GRAND VISIONS.

SISTER IN LAW picks me up and it's me and family until I fly out of TUL......

Be careful who sees you doing the bareing things. You CAN get arrested for bareing too much. Particularly on Turkey Mountain.

I Think it was about 15 to 18 Miles in 5 Hours I was really picking them up and laying them down , mainly because I had time limitations and had to fit into my Brothers schedule ; however I will never do that again took me two days to massage to soreness out of my muscles.

And as you noticed I walked the west downtown Tulsa OK to Cherry Street to Swan Lake Park to Historic Route 66 to Pearl District ( walk about the very next day ) stopping to constantly massage my legs during the journey.

The next time I loop the rivwer parks West and East Bank I'm going to take 10 Hours instead of (5)

Default Theme Park Nah.......

Is the proposed Theme Park at Turkey Mountain Urban Wilderness shot down , certainly hope so.

You can build a Theme Park Anywhere south of Turkey Mountain , and the best spot would be of
course right acroos from the New Hotel and Casino Complex on the East Bank.....

No Goodpasture that was a Medical Emergency therefore important news.....LOL

I wasn't aware that Orange Juice in large amount could cause Diarrhea as well as large volumn of Vitamin C

I wasn't aware that competitive running could also cause Diarrhea or anything that over tax the human body

OJ just tastes funny without vodka and I could never drink enough to cause a similar problem..........I would tend to pass out after the first few drinks.......
