Not as the title alludes to...this is not about a merit badge. I guess this would be the primary thread for everything outdoors.

I would like to see this thread primarily focus on camping/hiking. Anything else, such as hunting, will need to be a new thread.

As for camping & hiking, is there anyone on this board (besides myself) who like to spend weekends in the Oklahoma boondocks and if so, where do you like to spend it and what hikes do you like to do?

I am super akin to spending time down at the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge (so much so, that my phone can predict those four words, lol). As much as I love it there, I would like to expand my Oklahoma experience and discuss other options.

There is so much beyond Oklahoma--the mountain west beckons me--but there is also so much beauty within state bounds, depending upon the season. Please feel free to share and engage upon your experiences.
