Where is mojave, ok?
Many people ask us here at MasterBaiter Tackle Company, "Where the heck is Mojave, OK?" Before we can answer that question, a brief history of Mojave is necessary.
One of the first Americans to visit the area around what would become Mojave was Thomas Nuttal, a botanist, who followed one of the rivers and then a creek into the heart of Mojave. Nuttal wrote, "The heat of the weather continued excessive; and the green blowflies, attrated by the meat brought to our camp, exceeded everything that can be conceived. They filled our clothes with maggots and made us feel almost incurable."
Nuttal's glowing account of Mojave is what might have brought our founding fathers to Mojave. We rather suspect the posse from Ft. Smith had more to do with it that anything. I'm positive the good officers from Ft. Smith figured not even outlaws from hell or Arkansas could survive the summer in the Mojave area, so they gave up and went back home empty handed except for the few flies they brought back as souvenirs. So began Mojave. Since Nuttal didn't mention ticks, fleas, horseflies, rattle snakes, scorpions, tornadoes, hail, ice storms, inbred cousins, or Oklahoma politicians, we figure the founding fathers, being of high moral fiber, must have imported these character enhancers. Well, back to the original question of where is Mojave, OK. Everyone in OKlahoma knows Mojave is just north of Enid and south of Purcell on the old road down by the new lake that isn't filled in yet although it is 20 years old. For those outside of Oklahoma, and we know there is a lot of you, the best directions the we can give is that we are seventeen hundred and thirty-four miles east of Los Angeles, CA. In a way, that one thing makes living in Mojave worth all the minor inconveniences before mentioned. Mike & Marty
