12:00 \u2013 There are several options here:  you can picnic at tables below the Tallgrass Visitor Center, take a longer hike, or return to town for lunch (several good choices) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1:00-1:30 Return to Bartlesville at your leisure OR  stay for a special guided tour of the  home of John Joseph Mathews, Oklahoma\u2019s own \u201cThoreau of the Prairie.\u201d  He is author of many books dealing with traditions of the Osage nation, including \u201cTalking to the Moon.\u201d  Drs. Karen Neurohr and K. Black will be driving in from Stillwater, hoping to meet us at picnic grounds, then at the cabin. At the gate to the cabin, we will meet Patricia Webster, a distant cousin of Mathews and a docent. The road to the cabin is on the way back to Pawhuska just south of the entrance to the Tallgrass Prairie, about where asphalt ends. Patricia will start the tour after we gather at the gate and carpool in. You can plan to leave the cabin sometime before 3:00. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to bri<\/u><\/strong>ng:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please be sure to wear comfortable hiking shoes and bring water and a hat for our short hike.  After you leave Pawhuska, you will be on a dirt road.  Please plan for a leisurely drive and a bit of dust.  You won\u2019t be able to get out of the car except for one or two turnouts. The hike will be past the last bison guard near the Visitor Center.  The Visitor Center has rest rooms but no food or drink.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because there are several options around lunch time, be sure to think about what car you ride in and let the driver know if you have a schedule change during the day.  Please let Leila know if you are planning to attend.  You can text, email, or leave voicemail.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please RSVP by Monday April 8<\/strong>th<\/sup><\/strong> (day of Eclipse) to Leila Shultz <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
