Welcome to Jackson County, home of Western Oklahoma State College. Home of rattlesnakes, horny toads, goatheads, cotton, and tornadoes, horny toads being my favorite, I played with them all the time. They spit tobacco juice, we called it and puffed up. We made them beds in matchboxes and kept them for days. Jackson County has a flavor all its own. School would turn out sometime in September for six weeks so we could head for the cotton patch and try to make enough money to buy clothes. Quartz Mountain State Park ranks with the best and always provided a fun weekend.
