Did this idea die a natural death?

Did this idea die a natural death?  

I think it's a dynamite idea, I'm just a lil too far west to make a plan. From Southern Ca to OK is 1350 miles of nothing but nothing.( I drove it in a car 3 times last year, I recognize nothing when I see it!).

I would be up for it,  but the stars would have to align to make it work so that make me a  a real weak maybe. Not much to count on toward a plan.

Hope the idea remains alive and riding.

No, The idea hasn't died.. Just brewing....

An exploratory ride to the area might be in order...
Wedding anniversary this weekend.. Friends wedding next weekend kind of puts me a few weeks off a a little side trip...

I'm thinking of some kind of early fall gathering.. Before it gets cold..
Maybe about the time the leaves are turning.. That would give everyone who wants to come plenty of prep time...

I'm looking for ideas... Got any ?

I've been looking over some cabins and campgrounds... All I can say is $150 per night for a two person cabin is a little steep...And that was the cheapest one... Somebody's makin' some cash down there...

For that kind of money we might as well try to find an open weekend at the Talimena Lodge...

As mentioned before, the Queen Wilhelmina Lodge is closed for extensive remodeling and upgrades. Campground remains open.

I ain't sleepin' on the ground!!!  Hopefully I'll have enough vacation saved up to make this as my company made me burn all my sick-days and vacation before my STD kicked in.  I also have to burn a few days in September for wife.gov's family reunion.  It would really rock if the two events could be in the same week as Broken Bow is about a third of the way to the reunion...

I've been wanting to make a trip to the Talimena.  I was born in Mena, Ark and have family there still.  Haven't been back there in TOO many years!  I'd love to have a reason to put it on my schedule this year.
