Liberal, Kansas
Ruffus -
I'm originally from the area of Oklahoma near Liberal. There are times which the area is quite nice. However, you shaved it pretty darned close. Personally, I wouldn't recommend camping in the Liberal area (or the TX/OK panhandles) starting about now until June. I can say this since my family survived a tornado that struck Alva, OK in the mid-1950s. Even at 4 years old, I have pretty vivid memories as it passed above us while we hid in an old storm cellar. Combine that with living in a mobile home while attending the University of Oklahoma in Norman - where the National Severe Storms Research Lab was located three blocks from the lab I worked at . . . Yes, I do watch the shows about the tornado storm chasers on TV, but having lived it - I'll skip going back. Yes, at times of the year, this part of the country is wonderful! Visit Black Mesa in the northwest part of the OK panhandle, but I would skip it in April and May!
