August Activities Recap: This was a full month of events!  We hosted the AANR International Convention 2017.  Oaklake Trails received lots of press coverage from many TV & radio stations, & even the OK Journal Record, a business news paper.  Fellow nudists from 21 states & Canada joined us for the week-long event!  We are proud to be part of the leading nudist organization in our industry.  For over 80 years AANR has represented nudist families and fought for our  right to live nude! Each day during the Convention we published A "Daily News" flyer as a recap and highlight of the main activities. CLICK HERE to view copies of the "Daily Spotlight".

Glad you asked.  They are collected, bagged, and hauled to the Show, Inc. store in Sapulpua.  "Show" is a not-for-profit organization that hires disabled adults and some disabled adult-aged youth, to collect, sort, and load the cans onto a weight scales to see how many pounds we delivered.  The present price for selling aluminum cans is 35 cents per pound.  And it takes a lot of cans to weigh a pound!  So far we have sold hundreds of dollars to enhance our grounds.  Not a bad deal.  About 80 folks that would otherwise have difficulty getting a job are employed.  We conserve our aluminum for recycling and we improve our grounds appearance.  Good for us. Oaklake Flood Control - Part 1 Depending on your perspective, these are known variously as ponds, tanks, watersheds or lakes.  We will call them lakes for now.  These man made lakes provide flood control down stream as far as the Mississippi. Enabled by federal government initiatives, these small lakes also provide water supplies for agriculture or crop irrigation.  An additional benefit is for recreation such as fishing, hunting and swimming. The first lakes were constructed in 1948 and continued through 1980.  The entire project produced over 11,000 lakes.  Oklahoma was the first state to start a lake and completed 2,105 over the period. On the OLT property there are nine of these small lakes that retain water flow during peak rain periods, typically in the spring and fall. Authors: Ray & Diana To be Continued....    Did you know one of our regular OLT visitors writes nudist novels? Bruce W first came to OLT in 2002 to run the 5K, and has been introducing family and friends to OLT ever since. Under the pen name Will Forest, he has published the novels Co-ed Naked Philosophy and Aglow, available in print or for Kindle through Amazon. He posts stories, poems, and other works about nudism at nudescribe.blogspot.com, where you can also find a naturist mystery in eight installments, Bugs and Bares, as well as Disrobing Suspense, a series of interviews with other naturist writers. Based on real events in Alabama and Oklahoma, Co-ed Naked Philosophy explores the changes brought to a college community by a group of fearless students and professors who take off their clothes to take on social conventions. The thriller Aglow, like a kind of Da Vinci Code meets The Mission, follows the adventures of a historian and an art collector across Mexico and Brazil as they discover ancient testimonies that reveal a radical new understanding of nudity in nature. Up next? A swashbuckler without buckles… imagine a naked Pirates of the Caribbean adventure! You might find Will writing poolside or out on the trails at OLT, or you can also contact him on Twitter @nudescribe.
