Comments: Keep an eye on sudden storms around evening. Home prices sure have soared since a few years ago. This spot sure has ALOT of friendly folks everywhere. At times traffic seems busy. My wife and I spent time in here earlier this year. To have a well spent afternoon, make a point of visiting Cherokee Strip Land Rush Museum. It's worth the admission!
