Folks, we're getting closer. Time to nail down the finer details. Can't seem to locate the stump sitter, so someone (not an AS member) might steal our stumps.

Got to build a sign suitable for the driveway. Something the deer won't eat or knock over.

If the stump sitter is there they will have other things on their mind.

Lawton OK is in SW part; home of the Wichita Mountains and the Wichita Mts National Wildlife refuge. Should be able to find lots of info on the web about it; I love it there. Doris Campground is the only big campground in the refuge itself; you may need a reservation as it fills up sometimes. There are 13 little lakes you can fish in; we spent a weekend there once in the summer, didn't do a lot of good, but supposedly the crappie are plentiful. You'll need minnows and slip-bobber rigs. Hunting, don't think so except for a draw-out-only elk hunt. Mosquitos are there, but it tends to be dry so not bad. Great place for hiking, rock climbing. My favorite is Elk Mountain--good hike to the top, but once there the views and contemplative silence are pretty awesome.

Thats where i plan on moving my small engine business sometime next year moving in with another family once my mom passes on cannot stay in the home with the memories thru the years need a new start so we chose lawton oklahoma as that new starting place

i plan on hiring about 3-4 employees maybe more if the business gets too busy

as long as the mosquitoes stay away from my shop location im ok with it i already found the desireable location online and to my knowledge no atv shops or chainsaw shops so hope when i get there i can get the ball rolling


since that is the sw part of oklahoma are the tornadoes not as bad as it is toward kansas ?
now if arkansas was more ideal place for me to move i would like to know where in arkansas

Nader alley that is where they originate west Texas and Ok but we get many also. You can't really dodge them in the mid west. Arkansas has many niuce places but we also have many saw shops. You might look into Malvern Ar I think they are limited in the shop arena.
Lawton Ok is it the desert SW less trees when you leave town may mean less wood chopping but depends on target market!

Sorry to hear of the reason to move, but life happens to all of us. Lawton is an army town with Ft. Sill, Artillery training. Lots of soldiers there for short times, lots of pawn shops also. It gets hot; it gets the occasional tornado. Can't speak to the number of small engine shops around; I would think the lawn care business would be pretty big and mostly year 'round since it doesn't get that cold or for very long. Long growing season.
