June 2006 Trip to Lake Stanley Draper


Lake Stanley Draper, located northeast of Norman and east of Moore, Oklahoma, is a source of drinking water for much of the area. Much of the lakeshore is open for recreation. When I went in mid June 2006, the wildflowers were spectacular and there was a lot to see.
