Activators take part in the Program entirely at their own risk, and the Program and its volunteers in their entirety shall accept no responsibility for injury, loss of life or any other loss. Activators are reminded that hill climbing is an inherently hazardous activity. Accidents can and do happen in the mountains and the risk is neither increased nor mitigated by the SOTA Program. The SOTA Management Team and their associates assume no responsibility for accidents. Each participant does so at his or her own risk, and must decide, on the basis of their own ability, whether an objective is achievable. The listing of a summit in the reference does not mean that it is easy to reach, and it is always worth seeking local advice for all but the simplest of expeditions The inclusion of a summit in this Reference Manual does not indicate that it is safe, legal or even possible to climb to the summit. The Summit Reference data is not guaranteed to be accurate and sole reliance should not be placed upon it. All participants must be sure to check applicable local, state, and federal laws to be sure that a hike or climb up to any of the summits listed in this manual is legal and safe. Some summits may reside in private hands and all activators must respect private property rights. Other summits are located on restricted government owned land (e.g. military bases, gunnery ranges and bombing ranges) where trespass is not only illegal but could result in death. Under no circumstances should a summit be activated without the requisite permissions. Participation in the SOTA Awards program is at your own risk. Do not become a statistic! 3 Copyright Notices ”Summits on the Air” ,SOTA, and the SOTA logo are trademarks of the Programme. This document is copyright of the Programme.

Participants in the W5O SOTA program must meet the qualifications stated in the SOTA General Rules, and must participate in accordance with these rules. In cases where information in this reference document is in conflict with the General Rules, the General Rules shall take precedence. The full text of the SOTA General Rules can be found at http://www.sota.org.uk/Joining-In/General-Rules. Summits are qualified for inclusion in the W5O SOTA program on the basis of topographic prominence which requires a minimum of 100 meters (328 feet) of vertical rise “above the lowest contour line encircling it, and no higher summit” in order to qualify. Summit scoring is based upon the summit’s height above sea level. If the reader finds a summit which he/she believes meets the qualifications of the SOTA program, or if he finds a mistake in this ARM, he should contact the Association Manager. Summits cannot

    Little River National Wildlife Refuge Swamp/Marsh Site McCurtain County Location. This reference wetland is a portion of the Little River stream system. It is located on the east side of the Little River National Wildlife Refuge. Latitude: 33° 57' 44". Longitude: 94° 37' 36". Legal: Sec 7 T7S R26E. General Description. This reference site represents wetlands that border the Little River stream system in McCurtain County. This wetland landform is characterized by long and narrow depressions in broad flood plains and whose origin can be traced to abandoned stream channels. Surface water accumulation is from out-of-bank flooding and/or runoff from adjacent areas. Sediment loading is limited to large flood events. Groundwater tables are 1 to 3 feet above the surface during the winter and early spring. These wetlands range in size from 2 to 80 acres. Vegetative Community. Vegetation is dominated by an overstory of bald cypress. Understory vegetation is limited to the margins of the ponded water and consists of Hercules club, blue beech and buttonbush. In the ponded water, the sites are dominated by stinkweed and bladderworts. When disturbed by 66 drainage or filling, these sites convert to water primrose, smartweed, frog fruit and lizard’s tail. Tree trunks are buttressed and root systems are fluted. Hydrology. The water in these wetlands are provided by frequent floods of long duration and/or groundwater. Water tables range in depth from one to three feet above the surface the with the highest levels occurring during the winter through early summer. Subsurface water typically moves through out the soil profile.

  • Highlights of Lawton, Oklahoma
    Highlights of Lawton, Oklahoma The Community The City of Lawton, Oklahoma, founded in 1901, is the fifth largest city in Oklahoma and the county seat of Comanche County, in Southwest Oklahoma. Lawton is located approximately 90 miles southwest of Oklahoma City along Interstate 44. Fort Sill, an active U.S. Army installation, is on the City’s north side and is within the city limits as the result of annexation in the 1990s. Comanche County is home to more than 122,000 residents as of 2017, with Lawton accounting for 94,000 of the countywide population – smaller cities and towns including Cache, Chattanooga. Elgin, Faxon, Fletcher, Geronimo, Indiahoma, Medicine Park, and Sterling make up the remainder. Mild Winters, Warm Summers The mean temperature for the Lawton area is 61.5 degrees. The percentage of sunshine in Lawton ranges from an average of about 60 percent in the winter to nearly 80 percent in the summer, providing a long growing season of 215 days. The July high is around 95 degrees. Summers are generally warm with 95 days of 90 degrees or higher. The winter months are typically mild with an average low temperature in January of 27 degrees. Annual precipitation ranges from about 30 inches in western Comanche County to 33 inches in the east, slightly less than the U.S. average of 39 inches. Annual snowfall averages 3.6 inches while the average U.S. city gets 26 inches of snow per year. Cost of Living Lawton remains a low cost-of-living city relative to both the nation and Oklahoma.

  • Four Western Cheilanthoid Ferns in Oklahoma
    Oklahoma Native Plant Record 65 Volume 10, December 2010 FOUR WESTERN CHEILANTHOID FERNS IN OKLAHOMA Bruce A. Smith McLoud High School McLoud, Oklahoma 74851 Keywords: arid, distribution, habitat, key ABSTRACT The diversity of ferns in some of the more arid climates of western Oklahoma is surprising. This article examines four Oklahoma cheilanthoid ferns: Astrolepis integerrima, Cheilanthes wootonii, Notholaena standleyi, and Pellaea wrightiana. With the exceptions of A. integerrima and P. wrightiana which occur in Alabama and North Carolina respectively, all four species reach their eastern limits of distribution in Oklahoma. Included in this article are common names, synonyms, brief descriptions, distinguishing characteristics, U.S. and Oklahoma distribution, habitat information, state abundance, and a dichotomous key to selected cheilanthoids. The Oklahoma Natural Heritage Inventory has determined that all but one (N. standleyi) are species of concern in the state.
