Our Annual Halloween Dance showcased some amazing costumes!
The Costume Contest Winners - Janet (devil) was the female , David (joker) was the male.

Special Oaklake Project!
OLT would like to HONOR our VETERANS by creating a photo display in the clubhouse.  All Oaklake Trails Members are encouraged to participate.  If anyone would like to submit photos (clothed in uniform or not) or stories please Email any info to: office@oaklaketrails.com
We would like to know how many of our members have served in the military?  If you have a moment please answer the one question below by selecting the branch of the military you served in.  Thank You for your service!

NOTE:
This Project continues through November.  We are running it one more time to give everyone a chance to make a selection.
According to the American Legion:
The order of march is stated in regulation and calls for the Army to march first, followed by the Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, and the Coast Guard. The same would be used to display the flags in one rank, such as a Color Guard, from left to right. (Military Regulation)

Participate in this Survey by Answering the following question:
 ** Which Branch of the Military did you serve in? **

Current Tally of OCTOBER Selections received:

ARMY           = 3
MARINES     = 1
NAVY            = 4
AIR FORCE  = 6

COAST GUARD      = 0
NATIONAL GUARD = 0

Next month we will publish the final tally of all the selection results.

Puzzle for November

Why play? Lots of reasons!
  • Playing Sudoku engages the brain
  • It can be relaxing, but challenging – you choose the level you want to play at!
  • It increases concentration and focus
  • For some people it can be as helpful as meditation in improving relaxation and calmness
  • It improves your logic and memory
  • Studies have shown that using the brain for puzzles such as Sudoku and Crosswords helps to slow the effects of dementia and alzheimers
  • You can play a Sudoku puzzle a bit at a time, you don't have to do it all at once, so it's ideal if you're likely to be interrupted
Instructions:
The aim is to fill in the whole grid by just counting and checking.
Fill a number in to every cell in the grid, using the numbers 1 to 9
You can only use each number once in each row, each column, and in each of the 3×3 boxes.
"Sudoku puzzles are provided by:
www.sudokuoftheday.com – visit them and get a new Sudoku every day!"

The solution will be published in next months issue

Oaklake Flood Control - Part 3
On the OLT property there are nine small lakes that retain water flow during peak rain periods, typically in the spring and fall.

CABLE LAKE:
This lake is east of Oak Lake.  It is so named for the failed zip line terminating on the west end of the dam.  There are two rusted 4 inch pipes sticking up out of the ground.
The upper end is north across a small wooden walk bridge where you will find two ison pipes like on the dam.  The zip line started here and was a great idea except it never really worked like it was envisioned by the designers.  The water on this end of the lake is only knee deep.
The trail to the lake starts off the Oak Lake Trail road at trail sign #1 and #3, and #5 and #7.  Down the graveled trail, it veers into the wooded area and passes by an unmarked trail.  The trail crosses a meadow to a "Y".  Take the trail #1 and #3 left and follow it to the dam.(Note trail sign #3 is backwards.)
Follow the trail east off the dam and up a steep, rocky section to the top.  Follow trail #1 and #3 left to another intersection with trail markers #1 and #3 pointing right.  Turn LEFT to return to the park.
Cable Lake trail is NOT suitable as a loop for golf carts because the trail up the east end of the dam is top steep and rocky for safe passage.

OLT Lakes Continued.......

Once you have hiked most of the trails, you can become more an adventurist and take side trails or walk the trails backwards from these instructions.

CAT TAIL LAKE:
This Lake is East of Cable Lake on trail #3, and is the closest to the interstate I44.  Cat Tail plants grow thick along the south (interstate) side of the lake.  It is hard to find in the summer when vegetation is high.  There is no trail to the water's edge.

Diamond Lake:
Is on the Lone Oak Hiking trail just east of the cut-off.  The trail veers left around the lake.  Past the lake and perhaps 20 yards northeast off of the trail was for years a small wooden cross, perhaps with a permanent marker, was the inscription "Here Lays Our Diamonds."  Flowers were painted on the cross.  Was the marker for a departed pet?  Perhaps a horse?  Or maybe a jewel thief's hoard.  Access the lake by taking the Lone Oak Trail a short distance east from the Cut-Off on trail #3.

Beaver Lake:
Shortly after the club was started, a beaver chomped down a large cottonwood tree.  This lake is just south of the parking lot.  Take trail #5, across from the office and down the hill.  In about 200 yards. in the wooded part of the trail, on your right, is the lake.  There is no trail to the waters edge.
 
(next month we will list the final 3 lakes in this series)
Our new Clubhouse has been a blessing this year!
Many exciting events and Dances have been enjoyed.  If you have not seen it yet then this winter may be your chance!  Come on out, we will have indoor events for you to enjoy and the Hot Tub is always open!

Apodictic

Definition: expressing or of the nature of necessary truth or absolute certainty

Did You Know?

Apodictic is a word for those who are confident about that of which they speak. It's a handy word that can describe a conclusive concept, a conclusive person, or even that conclusive person's conclusive remarks.

A well-known close relative of apodictic is paradigm ("an outstandingly clear or typical example"); both words are built on Greek deiknynai, meaning "to show."

More distant relatives (from Latin dicere, a relative of deiknynai that means "to say") include dictiondictateedict, and predict..

The I-40 corridor?

No, the speed limit on this road is NOT 40 mph.
It is a joke folks.  A funny, get it?
Ray and Diana were returning from a conference in California and stopped to spend the night at a RV park on the northwest part of Grants New Mexico.  Ray took Tarnie (our Springer Spaniel) for a walk in a small field next to the park.  The field ran parallel along the I-40 corridor.  Walking along the fence line they discovered this route I-40 highway sign just laying in a field.  Ray thought, "if that thing is there in the morning when we go for another walk, I'm going to haul it home."  And sure enough, it was still there.  He couldn't resist, so in the back of the pickup it went.  We got it home, cleaned up a bit, and hung it in our car port.  Unfortunately, we hung it where no one could see it.  So we decided to play a trick on visitors and there it is.

(NOTE: We have no way of knowing how it got there.  Perhaps a large truck got too far off the shoulder and knocked it over the fence.  Or maybe a highway maintenance team didn't want to haul it back to the depot.  But it was there and it is the real thing.)

Here is what makes this year's Potluck Different:  We will have take-out containers available for a cash donation of $3.00 - You can fill a container from the leftovers after the dinner.  The money will pay for the meat.  This will prevent the original donor from having to take home a large pan of food to store and eat on for weeks!  If more money is collected than needed for meat, the extra will be donated to the Stroud food pantry.
