I guess I should have given credit to whomever really took the photo as I just "swiped" it from another site.
I do have some of my own pictures on here elsewhere though.

Day trips:
Muskogee: Azalea Festival at Honor Park. The park is spectacular anytime. The Five Trives Museum is located in the park near the main entrance.
Grove: Pelican Festival; Crand Lake cruises on the Cherokee Queen I or II, Lendonwood (Japanes Garden), Harbor Village, the World's Largest Antique Museum, Bernice Honey Creek State Park,
Sailing, boating, hunting, summer fish tournaments, winter fishing from heated docks, new library with awesome genealogy section, history, scenery and casino gambling. You'll find good food, friendly folks and good sleep at Grove. The World's Largest Multiple-Arch Dam, located on the south end of Grand Lake near Disney, has daily tours. It's awesome to see the water rush out of the open gates when the lake is high. Take a camera and bottled water. City water, sourced from the lake, is perfectly safe but bottled water tastes better. It always has.. BBQ from Tom Cat Corner north of Grove on OK 59N.
Take the lake tour. You'll go throuh Langley, Bernice, Disney, etc.. It's a 4-5 hour drive from Grove to Grove.
Tulsa. I love Utica Square on 21st and Utica. Upscale shops you won't find anywhere else in the city. The grocery store has unusual imported items too.
Highway 412 between Tulsa and exit OK 59 South near Little Kansas, OK ( I think the sign says Jay, OK), It is a wonderfully peaceful drive through some of the most beautiful scenery Olahoma has to offer. Exit 59 and go North to Grove. Folllow 59 to Afton exit/entrance 1-44. Don't forget the BBQ; you'll go right past Tomcat Corner.
If you want to travel a little father, 412 goes throuth Tontitown, Arkansas. It's an Italian town with great food. It is also where marble tile and other marble items are made and sold.
