I've been looking for somewhere to move for a while now. So far narrowed it down to Tennessee or Texas, but in my research, I found out Oklahoma has a bunch of mountains in the eastern half of the state. Since I'm a sucker for mountain views, I've decided to look into it a bit more. I'm not going to lie, I'm pretty much ignorant about Oklahoma. All I know is it has the second highest population of Indians, it's super religious (a big plus), and there's lots of modern cowboys and tornados.
So figured I'd ask some fellow patriots what it's like and see if it's a nice place to live. From what research I've done so far, it LOOKS freaking beautiful when you're in the mountainous parts.
Southeastern OK is absolutely gorgeous. We've spent thirty years or more going down there to just ride trails, camp, and just get away. Find somewhere that is close to some fresh water just in case, no matter where you go. Oklahoma seemed kind of backwards as I grew up, but Grandma always called it God's country, and now I know why. Wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. We live in the boonies on a ranch with all kinds of wild hogs, deer, small game, fishing, and plant life...not to mention our livestock. We're prepared for just about anything and so are our neighbors. Don't be a stranger..get to know your neighbors. They might not trust you much at first, but stay kind and respectful and they will come around. Act like a dick and you will be treated like a dick, or worse.
