I live 8 miles north of McAlester. Lots of barrel races to go to. I taught at Crowder School (just north of McAlester...rural school) for 30 years and then taught at Indianola (another rural school north of McAlester) for another 7 before retiring.

Lots of barrel races, nice covered pen Lightnen C arena with Checotah RUC not real far north. Job market may be a little slim. Several small towns within driving distance if you prefer a more rural setting. The barrel racing is pretty tough in this area, even at the jack pots as there are several trainers in the area as well as just tough barrel racers. You might PM Dianne with more detailed questions. She lives closer to McAlester and might have better information.
