Great thread jessaka!

Chickasaw National Recreation area (formerly known as Platt National Park) is great. It's nothing fancy, but a nice little area. Also, Robber's Den is a great place to go; you can see the caves where all of the outlaws used to go and hide out. Do a google search or use the oklahoma travel website. Turner Falls is worth it to me. It's not that pricey (at least it didn't used to be) and the animals are great to see as well. They have rides, camping, and of course with all of the rains the falls will be beautiful.

A good day trip would be to Claremore where you can visit the Will Rogers Memorial, the J.M. Davis Gun Museum (guns, knives, and other intersting items). Then one could drive 10 miles north to Oologah and see the birthplace of Will Rogers on Oologah Lake. Also, there is the horse track just east of town on highway 20 if it is racing season. On the way home (if going south) you could stop at Cherokee Casino in Catoosa.

I took another day trip out of Tahlequah to Grove, OK. Sometimes when I take a trip I find places that I wish to live in, but this wasn't the time. If you love lakes Grove is a great place to live, better than Tenkiller because Grove is a town. And the area from Vian to Grove looked basically the same to me. Vian is on 82 just north of I-40.

I went with a group, and we stopped at Lendonwood Gardens where we were given a tour. It is really beautiful there and looks natural. I wrote down a long list of plants that I now wish to buy someday.

Next we went to Harber Village, which is a frontier town made out of log cabins that have doctor offices, bank, church, homes, jail, mercantile, barber shop, etc. You look through glass to see what it would look like a hundred years ago. Then there are other log cabins that have long rolls of antiques, all the way from dolls, dishes, furniture, farm tools, etc. Actually everything you would need to survive in a small community. They have also landscaped the area very nicely. And they are right on Grand Lake, which is very beautiful.

We didn't drive around Grand Lake, but in going through the downtown area I saw some shops that I would love to go back and visit. Some were artsy gift shops and some antique. I can certainly understand why Jammie loved Grove.

While visiting Medicine Park which has been mentioned, visit Meers Store which is in the area. They make a plate sized burger. Read about this at The Meers Store & Restaurant, Meers, OK - (580) 429-8051

Yep, that Meers Burger is something to behold. And brian, Woolaroc is a great place. I have never even been there but have heard about that place since I was a kid. Great day trips, both Medicine Park and Woolaroc!

For those planning on doing the Talimena Drive for the fall foliage trip, there is a stretch of Hwy 82 south of Stigler to Red Oak that was finished not too many years back. It has spectacular views and is often overlooked by many. 82 does continue on from Red Oak to Talihena.
