SE OK....Worth the day trip?

Until you start hearing banjos.

Seriously, some parts of SE OK are best left alone.

Don't be scared City Slicker... I find going to OKC and Tulsa more scary and dangerous then any backwoods town in S.E. Oklahoma.

I'm talking those back country areas, where the paved roads become dirt roads, which become foot paths, which become nothing. I've been down there for work, and seen areas where I wouldn't want to go back alone and unarmed.

If you make it over to the Durant area, drop by Ft. Washita ( http://www.okhistory.org/sites/fortwashita.php ). It's probably better to visit in the fall or spring than in the winter, but it's kind of a neat place. It's not terribly big (between 15 and 20 acres, I'd guess), and probably wouldn't take more than an hour to completely explore, but I thought it was a neat place.

Ft.Towson is really neat as well, they also have a new steamboat exhibit that was dug up at Ft.Towson on the river.

Sooo true!

Hey, that's my place! Acres and acres of Oklahoma jungle!

If I remember right. There was a good place to eat in Ft Smith. Doe's. IIRC. Worth the trip. And a hard second on Pete's.
