Today we had the honor of welcoming the Brothers In The Wind Motorcycle Group as they made their annual stop on the way to Tahlequah, Oklahoma.

This yearly ride is a time of reflection on the journey of their ancestors, and we are humbled that our park is part of that tradition.

The Friends of the Park prepared lunch for the riders, sharing food, fellowship, and community as we wished them well on their travels.

Safe travels to our friends as they continue their meaningful journey.
