I read your Freep mail and was grateful to get the information.

I sent it on to several fellow and former Okies all over.

We lived for several years on a Washita river bottom ranch up by Turner Falls.

Tell you the truth I like this part of Southern California but miss many things that Oklahoma has to offer.

Oh, good - glad you enjoyed the info. I got a kick out of the overall coincidence of the onion burgers.

Wow, what a beautiful area to live in as a kid - near Turner Falls. I, on the other hand, was a kid screaming in the car 10-12 times a year as we sped past - to *please let us stop and go see the falls and go exploring*, lol.

We actually did stop from time to time and go on down to the bottom and have a picnic. Other times, the best I could do was the rock shop up on Hwy 77 and the viewing machine/telescopes to see the Falls.

Later in life, I went to a couple of church retreats in the cabin area and other times, stopped and ate trout many times at Cedarvale Gardens - what a beautiful place! Last I heard, the restaurant had closed at least a couple of years or more ago. I think they had a bad flood through the canyon down there. Some of the tables weren't more than 3 feet from the creekbank, it seemed. That must be Honey Creek.

A friend from grade school was living on a ranch near there but I missed our last HS reunion and time flies, so they may be gone from there now. Anyway, I would've loved to have lived anywhere around Davis or Sulphur at some point in my life - for a *little* while.

I didn't realize you are in SoCal. Glad you like it!
