Looking for NW Oklahoma Ghost Town...

"I found your site on the internet and thought that you may be able to help me find a ghost town that is located somewhere in your area. A friend came across this town about thirty years (1970s) ago and has been trying to find it since. He has been unable to find the name of the town. His memory of the town has it located northwest of Waynoka and northeast of Mooreland. There were some foundations and he was able to identify a stable. The main feature that stuck in his mind was a statue or monument that stood about 6 ft tall and had a rifle implanted in the top. He recalls climbing down a ridge to get into the town but that is about all the information that he can remember. When my friend came across the town he said the stock on the rifle had worn away but the rest was still there. I think he said that it was a Sharps rifle. He was young and having a day with the boys and hadn't realized at the time what they had found. The boy who had driven them to the spot was killed in a car accident soon after that trip and none of the others knew how they had gotten there. No pictures were taken but my friend would like to take some if we can find the town again. Any help that you could give would be appreciated. Thank you for your help." -- Carol - Email: bhesket@excite.com
