Or are you teasing me?

The last time I was in Brushy, my mighty Gum Springs Vikings (a school that exists no more) got run-ruled in softball. Musta been like 1983.

It doesn't get any deeper in Eastern OK than Marble City, which has previously been mentioned. Seems like we had to ride the bus for 10 hours to get to this place which was only 40 miles or so from Gum Springs. And almost all of that was over a dirt road that went over some big mountain. I remember that just before one got to Marble City, there was a little commune of folks on the north side of said dirt road where they had built a couple of log cabins themselves out of the little scrubby oak trees that they cut down. No windows, just some plastic. It was definitely the shoddiest attempt at constructing a shelter that I have ever seen, but these people lived there. Apparently one of the uniting principles of this commune was that to take a bath was a sin, and man, did it/they smell.

As far as sheer remoteness, Cave Springs would be a close second. I remember showing up to a softball field that was hell and gone from any buildings, and we were all wondering where the school, students, and teachers were. Then, actually walking out of the woods came a bunch of skinny indian kids with bats and gloves and one softball. They killed us.

I went to a funeral in marble city a few years ago. That is one of the strangest places I have ever been.

All I will say is the cemetary is pretty gross. Someone didn't know how to dig graves deep enough I don't think.

Dude, I have been in that cemetary. Little houses covering the graves, right? Nightmarish for me as a 12 year old.

Unkept and covered in huge trees with huge, drapey, low-hanging branches. Now I will be up all night.

This thread is so interesting, I had to go and register. I went to Liberty Grade School in the 70's-80's. In fact, I still live in the school district although I send my kids to Roland.

I'm quite familiar with Brushy, Moffett, Gum Springs, Central, Belfonte, Marble City and the like.

But if you really want to get down to places not even on the map, try Booger Hollow (holler), Ole Remy, or Greenwood Junction.

Liberty has changed a lot in the past 10 years. There are some million $$$ homes. There are also trailer houses with plastic on the windows across the road from said million $$$ homes.:P

Are we talking about "Where the Red Fern Grows" ? I have been to the old store...they open it up as a restaraunt during hunting season. I drove the Indian Road all the time going to Tahlequah. I grew up right at the south end of the Indian Road there! Not too far from Ensuing Kickoff!!!
