Oklahoma’s geographic location and topography have a critical effect on the state’s climate.
Oklahoma occupies a transitional precipitation zone, with a humid east and a semi-arid west.
The state averages dozens of tornadoes annually, especially during the months of April and May. These destructive storms are embedded in thunderstorms and move from southwest to northeast across the state.

 Ft Gibson, Oklahoma
The river bottom land near their landing place was low and fertile, and covered by an immense canebrake, great forest trees, and a jungle of vines and undergrowth.
Someone halooed across the river, and a scow, which served as ferryboat, was brought over; the travelers entered the boat, which was poled by soldiers across the stream; as it was tied up to the landing the visitors stepped ashore and walked up the bank 150 yards to the gate of the garrison.
Men engaged in cutting poles for the line were crossing the Grand River on a ferry flatboat on April 20, 1874, when in the middle of the river, by awkward handling of the front guy rope, the boat was allowed to swing broadside to the current; this caused it to fill with water and sink.

One of the favorite resorts of the Indians is known as the Dripping Spring, located on the allotment of Jeff Carnes, a Cherokee, residing in the southern part of the county, where a stream of water falls down over the rocks for a distance of nearly sixty feet.
The beautiful Grand River wends its way across the county in a southwesterly direction, its valley, together with the valleys of its numerous tributaries, Spavinaw Creek, Spring Creek, Saline Creek and others-being dotted with numerous fertile farms and some excellent timber.
A railroad is now being constructed from the Town of Salina on the Kansas, Oklahoma and Gulf Railroad into the southern part of this county, mainly for the purpose of marketing the virgin timber of that section.

The Paluxy River is a little known and even less used stream rising in Erath County and flowing through Hood County to the confluence of the Brazos River in Somervell County at Glen Rose.
In well-watered zones along the river, the woodlands are populated with a variety of Pecan, Walnut, Cottonwood, Sycamore, Black Willow, and several kinds of shrubs, and vines that hide the close proximity to local roads.
In 1997, we caught the river in near flood stage at 2,750 cfs (it had dropped from over 9,000 cfs just two days earlier) in early February, not the time I prefer to paddle, but the river was up and it was close to Dallas.

 River Bottom   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Oklahoma City does not have any good off road areas that are readily accessible (legally) in the immediate area.
However, there are other river bottoms in central Oklahoma where we can play around without any problems such as the South Canadian river a few miles south of Oklahoma City around Lexington OK. Most of the rivers in our area are shallow and sandy except when there have been recent rains.
Even though the rivers are sandy, they can build up large sand ledges along areas where water had eroded a previously built up sand bar.

In northeastern Oklahoma, meanwhile, National Guard troops helped to evacuate dozens of people from their homes because of flooding along the Spring and Neosho rivers.
While the heavy rains ended Sunday, the renewed surge in river levels was a reminder of the legacy of the Great Flood of `93, the effects of which will be felt well into next year, according to officials of the Army Corps of Engineers and others.
The river -- a vast commercial thoroughfare on which millions of tons of grain, oil, coal and other products are shipped annually -- was closed to barge traffic from St. Paul, Minn., to south of St. Louis for almost two months during the summer because of the flooding.

The Oklahoma Indian as he was known 75 or 100 years ago is becoming, selectively speaking, a dodo bird.
The next thing is that the ferries on the river have been refused to the use of Indians—this is a complaint, in my estimation without cause, for I have known ferries kept on both sides of the river and never knew of an attempt to withhold such privileges from the Choctaws.
