At the close of the feed, they went into action again and by the time we left there wasn’t a trace to show we had been there.There were local people and others from many parts of Oklahoma and the Tri-State district who have had a great interest in the idea for some time of making the Promenade area a state park. It has been used for fishing and camping since the beginning of time. Unless organized and set up with proper comfort stations and facilities, it is going to end up as one big mound of trash.Each clump of grass and weeds have their human souvenirs in them. It is embarrassing, to realize how filthy the human race has become.The Sportsman club has a clean-up crew working a section of Spring river and each time as they are picking up bags and bags of trash, people are throwing more of it around and by the next day you would never know it had ever been cleanedup.In Missouri they say, Spring river is the top bass river of any place.For beauty it is unexcelled anywhere. It is fed by a multitude of natural cold, clear water springs through its entirecourseAs you silently drift along in a boat, you can hear these springs dripping that pure fresh water into the river.The Devil's Promenade area has one of the finest historical iegends of any place in the state Just to mention a few, there is the beautiful bluff by the bridge called Lover’s I^eap. If you look at the side view of the rock formation, you can see the profile of an Indian’s head. Then there are the round rock formations at the water’s edge called the Devil’s biscuits. Iet’s not forget the mysterious spook lights; many ancient Indian burial sites and the Beaver Springs Pow-Wow grounds, which attracts thousands eachyear.The NEO Sportsman dub furnished the food for the rally.
