This is one of our series of boxes to honor the many Indian tribes that were assigned land in the Indian Territory and are now part of the state of Oklahoma - The Choctaw Nation.
Take the Douglas Boulevard exit from I-40 and go one mile east on 29th street to Post Road. (or I-240 and go one mile east on 74th street). Go South on Post Road. Past 74th street but before 89th street on the east side of Post (now Lake Stanley Draper Drive) is the "Lake Stanley Draper Non-motorized Trail Head". This is a VERY well maintained series of trails that have been very nicely improved by the Oklahoma Earthbike Fellowship. These trails are primarily for mountain bikes, so be sure to yield right of way and take care with children and pets. There is a gravel parking lot with concrete picnic tables and porta-potty. Be sure to stop and study the map that is posted and notice the green trail.
Follow the arrows to the Trailhead, go through the fence on the right of the tables and follow the green loop down the power line right of way. Just before the 3 giant power poles in a row at the bend in the power line right of way the green trail will leave the right of way. DON'T TAKE THIS TRAIL...be patient. Just past the 3 poles and the sharp curve right, there will be another trail leaving the right of way to the left. Immediately there will be a choice to make, white trail left, green trail right...follow the GREEN TRAIL right. The day we planted this box we saw lots of fresh deer tracks and plenty of wildlife...a lovely hike! The trail meanders through the woods and soon there will be a large 3 trucked oak tree on the right edge of the trail, continue on. There will be another 3 trunked tree just as it curves back left. Going just past the tree, look back, and you'll see a hole in the trunk at ground level. The box is inside this hole with bark and leaves in front of it.
Happy Questing!
