This is the sunset I get to see from my front porch each evening. Tonight it was stunning. Hope yours is too! Sayre. Oklahoma!

Sayre

King Mountain is a great hike to the top, though never an easy one. There is a radio station tower on top, and I actually encountered several workers when I got to the top, they have to hike up also each time they have to work on the tower. Great views of the lake and mountains. There are a couple of places to park right beside the mountain. Watch out for the irrigation canal and stay away from it when it is running, it has a syphon that will suck you under and drown you. There is also a small cave on the side of the mountain that is a nice and cool spot on a hot day.

So nice to have water in the lake to catch the light again. This lake has RV Spots, Frisbee Golf, an amphitheater, a really cool mountain bike/hiking trail all the way around it, fishing, swimming, and a golf course on the other side of the dam. A music festival, Buckin Wild, has just relocated to the amphitheater this year.
