At Camp Houston on the outside on the east side of the building they had real live rattlesnakes in a pit. Camp Houston might be called a forerunner of todays convienience stores. North of Camp Houston out on the prayrie is a Cowboy cemetery, supposedly hulling salt back to ranch headquarters. Thery were supposedly killed by Indians that had escaped from the reservation and was fighting to get back north to their homeland this took place in Sept. 1878.

I remember seeing the 5 legged calf in the summer of 1965 or 1966 while attending a Couch family reunion in Waynoka. From my memory, the fifth leg hung from the neck area. Also, my parents and many of their friends would load up all us kids and have big Sunday picnics at Roman Nose Park each summer. We would swim, ride horses, and the paddle boats. The beautiful pool was our favorite. Unfortunately, the pool is not the same, but it still remains a favorite memory of us kids who are all now 50-something. Bev Couch-OKC (formerly of Helena, OK)

The baby rattlers were at the gas station on the SE Corner of the intersection, Camp Houston! I remember those as well!
