The place is not real hard to find, it sits on Lone Chimney Lake.
To get there from Stillwater you head east on 51 to 108, go north on 108 two miles north of Glencoe, turn right at Walts Corner head east four miles turn RIGHT (justql's other left) go south on gravel road 1 mile, turn left go east almost 1 mile, small farm house on left side, only house on left side. You make a u turn to go through the gate beside big garage into the pasture, turn right once in pasture head north through pasture on trail.
To get there from the Cimmaron turnpike, exit at the Pawnee exit, hwy 18 , it's the exit right before the McDonalds.Turn right, head north on Hwy 18, 2 1/4 miles( there is a green state sign that says Lone Chimney Lake)turn left go west 2 miles on dirt road. At t-intersection turn right go north 1/4-1/2 mile or so to new bridge to stop sign at t-intersection. At stop sign turn left head west again. Follow this road west it will turn back south and then back west,(about a 1/2 mile total through the curves) there is a water plant on the left side when you turn west again, go 1 1/2 miles west from water plant.

UPDATE-
The rains have set in. so far is a good slow soaker so it will be good and gooey. No not really that bad. This is the first of it and it will take quite a bit to get that bad. No there has not been any more mowing but the Family had started hitting the cabins anfd I did hear the rider going somewhere. The hand is KIA. rather naked if you know what I mean. WOn't be much playing for me I am afraid. The meat is in the smoker as we speak. Just left dads and it was tasting pretty good. The tent still stands. Thats about it on the home front tonight. Looks like the rain is moving on through now. Thats good about 1/2 inch this evening.

I imagine the dust will be settled under about three inches of mud!! It's starting to look like I might be flying solo. My wife pointed out to me that it is raining.... ( I already knew that) And the daughter is making noises that she might rather not go. I don't want to force anything on her, so we will see. Is the ground in the pasture pretty solid? I have 4WD, but dragging a trailer you can get stuck quick. One thing I know... I NEED to ride!! Work has been murder the past few weeks... a little mud ain't gonna stop me from having fun.

It will take alot of rain to get bad. It was dry last weekend, except a few mudholes. So I'm sure that some rain will help settle the dust. The soil is so sandy/loamy that it soaks it up and dries real fast. The road to camp is solid!!If it stops raining mid day friday we'll be in good shape for Saturday adn Sunday.
I'll bring the mower. Hopefully I can get there by two or three tommorrow. I need to run through the last part of the loop and hang some arrows and mow the camp ground. I gotta go change the front tire on the Gasser and start loading the bikes and gear. I also need to make some danger signs for a couple of spots.

So whats the forecast for Sat and Sun? My wife has also made comments about not going due to rain. Like OldMaiconut the last few weeks of work have been heck. I need to ride! Plus Tuesday I had some major dental work done and have been on Darvocet for the pain. I left work this morning because I was feeling like this... :confused: I'm taking it like a man now and haven't taken a pill since I came home from work this morning. Gotta get the cob webs out of the brain bucket. I haven't touched a thing because of the medication. Modern chemistry is a great thing! :eek:
I know this group likes a great time, expect some comic relief from little Sawtooth. I swear in 15 years you will see him on SNL. Anyway, I need to head to the garage to go over the bikes. Lord knows I've done enough ramblin on the last few days because of the Darvocet! :aj:

OK Here's the deal.... I just went in her bedroom and pried the phone out of her ear ( I think it's permanently attached :think: ) anyway, I gave it my best Bill ******* lower lip quiver, and asked if she was sure she wasn't going. She said "Don't worry Dad, I'm going." Mom's shining us on though. Plan on getting out Friday around supper time. Who else will be there early?

Good news is the rain has long since moved on, Tell the ladies the rain is no excuse. We have a 40 by 40 tent for everyonbe to set under in case. The last I heard was all rain was suppose to be out of here early Saturday. The road into is not only solid but 3/4 gravel. And besides that we have plenty of tractors. (lol) JQL call me I need to get some arrows to put out at the highway. I will try to meet you early tommorow if I don't go to work. I will probally be at the house. Those funny little pills are making me sleep more than not.

I am loaded and ready to go. Tell the women it'll be dry ;) Really it's not that bad a place with lots of trees and a BIG tent. KOW -I won't get there till later in the day, maybe as late as 4:00 :| . I left my staple gun there so I can't arrow onthe way in :think: I'll get there and unload the bikes and head out and put up the remianing arrows and signs on the trails. I also need to mow around the camp. I'm bringing the JD. mx547- Is your wife backing out too?

It look like the rain has moved out. I'm thinking that the trails and camp will be in real good shape, the mx track might have a couple of big waterholes. I left a couple of low spots that sure hold water now. :think:
