NR - A new site in Northern Region

[Staci L. Myers]

I don't speak for any group right now, but as someone who has had to try to
find sites suitable for our activities, I can say that good sites are always
welcome finds. 

Good indoor sites are even scarcer (affordable ones, that is. The Cowboy
Hall of Fame was lovely, but just a tad on the pricey side). Does anyone
know of or would anyone be interested in forming a regional site list for
autocrats to consult, listing things like location, pricing, on site
amenities & restrictions?

Greetings to the list!

Some time ago when the Incipient Shire of Rothundburg was still in
existence
we were looking for suitable sites to hold an event.   One of the places
that we found is owned by a good friend of mine.  It is a fifty acre
plot of
land just 15 or so miles off of I35 at the Davis/Sulphur exit.  That
makes
it less than an hour from either OK City or the TX border.

I had asked him at that time what it would take to get him to let us use
the
site for events and basically he said that if we showed an interest in
using
it that he would make it usable.  At the time we were in a hurry to get
a
site so we let that slide until a later time when there was more time to
do
it.  Now, things happened and Rothundburg didn't survive its infancy,
but
recently he asked me if we would still be interested in using the site
since
he needs to do something with it (either fix it up or maybe sell it
off).
He is planning on putting in running water, electricity, showers and
bathrooms, and basically making the site the way we would want it to
look
(at his own expense of course since these things only increase the
property
value).

I have seen the site myself and it has as much room or more than the
Coyle,
OK site does.  Lots of open ground (for fighting and melees) and lots of
trees for shaded camping or broken ground battles.  Plenty of parking
and
access on two sides of the site.  There is a river (the Wild Horse
River)
flowing along one edge of it.  There are no neighbors to be upset by
loud
events and parties.  Lots of on site firewood for the taking....etc.

So, there you have it, he asked me to ask all of you if any groups in
this
region would in the future be interested in holding an event there.  He
quoted me a very very low per person price for weekend camping there so
if
any seneschals or landed's need to know please email me privately for
that.
But I will say that it was much cheaper than any price we saw when
looking
for a site in the past.  If there is interest we can arrange a date for
any
interested groups to have a look at it if needed.

I appreciate your kindness in reading this and hope that you respond
with
your feelings on this.  My feelings on it are not objective since I live
very close to the site and that would make those events very easy for me
to
attend! LOL

Yours in our Society,
