We found this disk while hiking along the Illinois River near Tahlequah, OK. It it located on the bluffs of the west bank of the river. Take Hwy. 51/62 East of Tahlequah, and turn south where Hwy. 10 North departs the highway and begins to parallel the river. You will drive through some old houses/mobile homes as you approach the river. Continue to drive under the old river bridge and on to the road's end; park here and hike the old road that leads past the pump station. I know there doesn't appear to be a path along the river but there is. Follow the path to a large ravine just passed the disk which is now located above you. You will have to climb up the cliff from the ravine which is very steep and dangerous. There is a path on the cliff that leads back up the hill to someone's house. You don't need to trespass. The disk is located part of the way up the cliff on the path. It is marked by an orange metal fence post. Enjoy the hike along this scenic area.
