I found this while camping in OK. Pretty cool, huh?


1.



2.



3. 73 steps. My legs are STILL sore.



4.



5.



6. I call this one: Too lazy to get the tripod out so I used a rock.



7.



8.



9.



10.



11.



12.



13. I caught a bird and tied my camera to his legs for this shot...



11.




I have a lot more, but they're not as good. I have some more interior as well.

That's cool as hell!
#11 rocks but the whole place looks like a lot of fun. Lots of rappelling opportunities.

I'm a blatant waste of time and resources.

Yea.. there were! It was really awesome. There were all kinds of hidden passages and stair cases only a foot wide. I couldn't fit unless I took off my back pack and went sideways.

Tell me you're putting this in the DB so I can give it a solid 10.

That is an awesome find!

The castle itself is NOT a state park.

Hey Raticus,
Can you find out why Happiedaze's castle site in the DB says "This location has no photos and can't be rated yet."
I know I'm a crackhead and all but it sure looks like it has photos.

Some info I found:

Based on old english architecture, The Castle was constructed with native materials in the early 1930s by Dr. Ellsworth Collins, who was a professor at Oklahoma University for many years. The building served as Bar C Ranch HQ and Dr. Collinsâ&#128;&#153; summer home.

This is or was called Collings Castle and was the headquarters for a ranch called the 101. It also served as the owners private home.
