Look at the area around Broken Bow. You will see it is mostly pine covered mountains or hills. Most of the land is owned by Weyerhauser. Many people work in sawmills, papermills, or log for a living. The land is too hilly and too rocky for farming. Great for hunting and fishing.

I'm happy that you know where Oklahoma City is. Too bad your reading isn't as good. I NEVER said OKC was in SE OK. I lived in OKC for 4 years and I know EXACTLY where it is.

If you drove through Snow you drove through Finley. It is the next town about 8 miles down the road. Finley is 10 miles from Antlers.
I was born and raised in Finley. Lived there until I went into the service. Have family still living there and Snow. When you drove through Snow you passed right in front of my parents house.

It is a great place to live. Hope to move back there when I retire. Broken Bow is right up there with Finley and Snow, but it is a big city compared to them.

I would like to point out that recently in a newspaper article it said the meth labs are declined in numbers greatly since they past the laws that some of the cold medicines can only be obtained behind the counter and limited on how much you can aquire and have to sign your name for it. Making it much harder to acquire all the ingredients for meth.

However, because of it's harder to aquire the ingredeints for meth, marijuanna is back on the rebound. So there's your cash crop!

I've close to a community that is known for all the illegal drug problems. However, I never have any problems with anyone. I just do my own thing and let them do what they want, so long as it's not harming me or my family. Most of the crime around here seems to be the drug thugs stealing from the other drug thugs.

That previously small world just got smaller....................I have to watch shooting to the corner of the pasture to avoid risking his house LOL...He lives diagonally about a half mile or so S.E. of my house. Yes he is a preacher and from some of the stories he's told me of his youth I can see where it would come as a surprise to his old running buddies LOL.

A few of his stories I was right there along side of him. Great friend who I wish I would not have lost contact with.
