the old man in the tree has deteriorated over the years, try to imagine him with his full mustache (half seems to have fallen off)
i was alone during my photography session and i was unable to get in the photo since he's so high on the tree

i love locationless caches (this makes #46) but thought i was maxed out and had found all i'd ever find. last night i went on the annual Murder and Mayhem Tour of the historic district in fort smith, AR. at the corner of N. D and 13th street, the guide announced that the current channel 5 building is a former carnegie library building! yeee hawwww, a surprise locationless for me!
it pays to have your locationless caches memorized
i returned to fort smith today, just to take pics for my log. i discovered the library was founded on October 10, 1981 by the Fortnightly Club. the sign didn't say it was built on that date, but had another line...Fort Smith Public Library, March 42th, 1905.
a stone in the yard said fort smith's famous hangin' judge, Isaac C. Parker, lived on that very corner before the library was built.

WISTER LAKE
OKLAHOMA
Authorization: Flood Control Act approved 28 June 1938, Committee Document No. 1, 75th Congress, 1st Session. The conservation pool elevation for 1 December to 31 May was changed by the 98th Congress in Public Law 98-63 dated 30 July 1983.
Location: On the Poteau River at river mile 60.9, about 2 miles south of Wister in LeFlore County, Oklahoma.
Purpose: Flood control, water supply, low flow augmentation, water conservation, and sedimentation.
Status: Complete.
History of Construction: Construction started in April 1946 and was completed in May 1949; embankment closure started in June 1948 and was completed in May 1949; and impoundment of the conservation pool started in October 1949 and was completed in December 1949. The project was completed for full flood control operation in October 1949. Major rehabilitation of the embankment was completed in 1990.
Type of Structure: The dam is a rolled, impervious earthfill embankment with rock-protected slopes. The dam is 5,700 feet long and rises to a maximum height of 99 feet above the streambed. Oklahoma State Highway 270 is located along the top of the dam. A rolled earthfill dike which extends from the right abutment is 2,400 feet long and rises to a maximum height of 40 feet. The elevation at the top of the dam is 527.5 feet.
Spillway and Outlet Works: An uncontrolled, concrete, chute-type spillway withmodified broad-crested weir is located in a ridge which extends downstream from the right abutment of the main embankment. The spillway has a total width of 600 feet. Spillway capacity is 170,910 cfs at maximum pool (elevation 523.5). The outlet works consist of two 15.8- by 14.0-foot egg- shaped conduits located in the valley adjacent to the right abutment of the dam. Capacity of the outlet works varies from 14,600 cfs at the top of the flood control pool to 7,900 cfs at the conservation pool elevation. Flows are regulated by six 7- by 12-foot tractor-type, vertical-lift gates located in a concrete gate tower. Low-flow regulation is provided by a 30-inch-diameter gated pipe conduit. Two water supply intakes are located in the gate tower; one for possible future water supply use and the other to supply the project. Controlling bank-full capacity below the dam is 6,600 cfs.
Hydrologic Data: The flood of record occurred on 18 June 1934 with a peak discharge of 81,000 cfs. The largest total volume, 567,000 acre-feet, occurred in April 1927. Total runoff during that period was 10.71 inches.
