Cedar Canyon Fire

"Hi there. Wanted someone to know that my husband and I were at the fire on March 11th, 2006, (south of Freedom, Oklahoma. The Stables Fire... along with a stranger who called the fire in that day. What a day. Please update us as to when they are rebuilding the Lodge. We were 2 of the 3 people that morning who witnessed the whole ordeal. it was quite emotional. Yes! It was quite a morning!!!!! We actually were staying at the motel and woke up and looked out and I saw a large flame coming out of the bar area. It had been burning, I'm guessing, 5 minutes.

It was pretty frightening, as you can imagine, so we gathered all our belongings and ran down the sidewalk towards our car which was parked in the parking area, maybe 48 yards, from the fire iteself. A propane tank which was starting to become an issue with us at the time. I actually was pulling luggage and fell. We were getting into out car and the one pumper unit arrived on the scene, which by that time it was well on its way to becoming out of control. We jumped into our car and maneuvered our way around the fire to the highway... and watched for awhile. Then went to the golf course and showered. We left the area came back to OKC. We will never forget it. there were brand new owners... Still the same people?" -- BARB IN OKC
