The Greenleaf Hiking / Mountain Bike Trail needs your help. Saturday,
September 27, 2008 has been designated as a work day to allow people
that have enjoyed the trail through the years to show their appreciation
of the trail by helping to put it into good shape. We will start at
8:00am and use the park pontoon boat to take crews to various work sites
on the trail. Please contact Steve Evans at the Greenleaf State Park
Nature Center, phone 918-487-7125 or email
naturehut@onenet.net. to let
us know you are coming so we can plan accordingly.

- Several new stories
loaded up on the site from Keith Koepsel, a teacher from Colorado
who is spending a
year in India teaching music on a teacher exchange. He has
been sending e-mails and posting them in a message forum at
www.backpacker.com, but I asked him
if I could put them all in one place and he agreed.
Read his dispatches here.

Did you know?
Oklahoma has 12 distinct ecosystems - including mesas, sand dunes,
wetlands, mountains, and tall grass prairie - second only to Texas, which
has 13.
 We as Oklahomans understand
better than some that the hurt from 9/11 keeps on going, not only for those who lost
loved ones but also for the fire, police and other rescue personnel who
had to deal with the attack. In Oklahoma City, the number of cops, fire fighters
and other responders who suffered post-traumatic stress disorder was more
than expected, but the attack we suffered was more than expected. My
prayers, and I hope yours too, are for those who continue to live on.
In the words of Tom Hanks in Castaway, "tomorrow the sun will rise, and my
job is to keep on living."
