Those ant bars are pretty well hidden, but they are all over the place, you just have to know where to look. The thing is, you want to be careful which ones you go to - never go to one where the sugar ants and fire ants both frequent. Those are the really rowdy ones! Stick to the ones where those two don't mingle, each one thinks the other is kind of low class, and they can get real snippety with each other, to say the least. And it's always the tourists who get caught in the middle!

Nah, you just have to know the right people. Errr, ants, I mean. Otherwise it's like knocking on The Green Door. [How's that for dating myself?]

Yah! Take a good look at post #58 that Bjb123 put on. Its the castle like home that I was talking about earlier, that would be a great place to hang out at. Especially around Holloween time you could have alot of fun putting on a great costume party. "Do The Monster Mash"

Tahlequah is where the Trail of Tears ended, and is home to Cherokee Nation. Tahlequah IS NOT a like a reservation, nor is it poor like one. There is Lake Tenkiller on one side of the town, and the Illinois River on the other side. It also is the home of Northeastern State University, est. in the late 1800's. It is a small town, but is growing rapidly, and yet still holding on to its heritage and charm. I lived there a good part of my life. I miss it.

It doesn't take money to pick-up the yards and clean around the houses ie some weeding and a little bit of paint goes along way and can cover a multitude of sins on a house. I'm not sure what the job status is like there, but it did seem to have lots of empty buildings. Tahlequah was on out list of towns to look at for possibly moving to in the future, but saddly to say we removed it .

Muskogee was a little better, but I think for now we're going to keep looking. Next time we'll have to see how Poteau, Wagoner and Sallisaw measure up. Oklahoma is still No.1 on our list, especially for me, I still love Oklahoma and her people.

Now we did run into a little town called "Medicine Park" . quite charming and it had loads of character with a wonderful back drop of the Wichita Mountains. Very lovely, with lots of possibilities.

Medicine Park is sweet and there is so much history in the area. I'd love to see every one of those little stone cottages with an artist or antiques in them. However I must caution you about the summers, if you don't love heat you are going to be most uncomfortable. But...I love the Wichitas and the area...go to Meers and have a Meers buffalo burger, great experience.
