| Oklahoma is a wonderful state! From sand dunes to swamps, we have almost everything! As for housing I don't feel that we are a overpriced state, we do have state tax, which I know a few states have gotten rid of that. Our roads are decent, and they are fixing them. As for rodeos/barrel racing, Stillwater has a nice indoor arena which services North Central. As long as you stay East of I 35 you will have good luck! If you go West you will be driving for miles for anything!

| TwistedK - 2014-02-28 8:16 AM We just moved from San Diego to the Yukon area in July 2013. We LOVE it so far! We are renting, so our horses are currently being boarded. I work for Express Employment Professionals and my husband works for Schlumberger in the oil field. LOVE the people and I have met some great friends....
Have you went out to the ranch? Bob also has a wonderful book out, that is worth reading! Us Okies are pretty down to earth! |

Oh yes we've been to the ranch. I work at the Yukon office. Our horses are up in Piedmont and my buckskin will start running in the central 4D this May. We live about 3 miles from the ranch and my daughter absolutely loves seeing the Clydesdales. I'm always looking for riding buddies too!!!!! |

I always loved the ranch! We started going when I was a kid in the 4-h horse club. As for riding buddies don't ask me, lol, I no longer ride, well very seldom do I ride. |

| Don't show this weeks weather that's not normal for us! LOL Actually, what area of Ok are you looking at? We are in SE Ok. I am 30 min. from TX line and 30 min. from Ar line. You would think there would be a ton of things going on but we usually have to drive almost 2 hours just to a JP. But the weather is usually nice here almost like TX. If I had to relocate I would try for a area with a lot of weekly events. But that's the barrel racer in me. |

| Thanks guys! Just now getting to read all of this!
Some of your posts crack me up. All good information. I want to move to a place where I have the option to go to a barrel race any night of the week! How awesome would that be?
That is pretty much what sparked my interest, plus sometimes I think a fresh start in a new place with horses would be nice.
The only thing that freaks me out would be the tornadoes. What places get hit the most? |

Location: Jersey Girl | My mother moved to Northeast OK about 20 years ago or so, Bartlesville to be specific. Cost of living is low and yes the people are very nice, weather decent also. Downside-depending on what you do for a living jobs can be hard to find. $10 an hour is a good paying job out there.
OK also has great programs for seniors. My mom wanted to move back to NJ, but she just can't afford to because of the housing costs here and no senior programs. |

knock on wood we haven't had tornadoes hit bad around Claremore. They tend to go to the north into Oologah, Nowata, Vinita or south into Tulsa area. |

PS... I think Moore gets their share of what goes through the state here... but I can't say on that one for sure....

We used to say that about where we live...and then the same town got hit twice in one day 7 years ago.  |
