Interesting about Guthrie. It certainly looks bigger, but maybe it isn't. It is a beautiful historic town, many more blocks of it than what Tahlequah has in its 2 to 3 blocks. maybe Guthrie is 6 blocks square of historic. If you decide that town I would look for a house with a fallout shelter. In Tahlequah they don't have many homes with them because we don't get hit my them since we are in a valley, knock on wood. Guthrie is my kind of town though. But then I love Tahlequah and the people here, and I love the area a lot better with the rivers, a lot more trees, foothills to the Ozarks. Some do say that we are in the Ozarks, but others say "foothills." It is just more lush here.

I gave your address to a friend that knows some homeschoolers, but they don't know you so I am not sure if they will write or not. I did learn that there were several homeschoolers here.

For my money, the best towns in OK to live in would be Norman, Stillwater, and Tahlequah---better even than OKC or Tulsa. The big cities offer better restaurants and more places to shop, but the university towns offer a better, more diverse cultural mix.

I second everything he said!
