Thanks for the comliment Chief! (The gut I mean.) Unfortunately I am the only cheap labor around here.  . Uh oh - the wife just whacked me in the head and says she helps too. She and I hauled and set all the rock in the poolyard. Kids are hard to get motivated these days. They will work for anyone but their parents!

Let's see I have several questions to answerer here.
I do not have quarters for 12 couples,just my home and the back forty which would be terrific but the potty line could get unbearably long. But I'll bet we could fix all of the above in short order..
The closest commercial airport is Tulsa OK 76 miles and the closest regional airport is Joplin MO. 56 miles..
This neck of the woods is called Green Country and basically materialized around the first major dam project in the 1940's ( still only one in 5 areas where you can own lake front to the water (some 60,000 acre feet of surface) with 1300 miles of shore line!!
No I do not work for the Chamber of Commerce!! But Rand McNally rated it as one of the top 5 retirement sites in the 90's, and it still is for me!!

I've never been to OK. & that would be neat in it's self.

I need to make a correcction to the acre feet contained in grand lake..
Official:Pool elevation is 742.33 feet on Saturday 28Aug04 Time: 2000 hours.
At this elevation the total amount of water stored in Grand Lake O' The Cherokees, Pensacola Dm is 1551521 acre-feet.
Now How would I house 12 couples ? There are many resorts here for visitors from Shanglara to Motorhomes to public camping sites, not to mention my back forty!!

Archdean,
I was in Grove and Jay the other day. It is a pretty spot and growing... The main road going to Holiday Island is under big construction! I think there are plenty of low cost nice hotels around there. Compared to most places in the US it is very affordable. On Airports you forgot to mention XNA which is Northwest Arkansas. It is also about 50 miles away from Grove. Is there still plenty of lake front property there for sale? There is a place near me called Bella Vista that was a retirement area and now the lake lots are $80K for anything with a view. OUCH!

Yes I did forget XNA airport I picked up some folks 3 years ago today and the trip to and from there hits every cow pasture in 3 counties ... so I normally just get on the interstate and spend my 1&1/2 hours at 70 MPH. It normally is cheaper to fly into XNA on puddle jumpers than The main jet routes out of Tulsa!! Just Habit for me to go to Tulsa actual time Driving is close for all 3.
Land is not cheap anywhere and basically unavailable here on the lake!! price is no longer the object, just trying to find lakefront is!
I'm in the book stop by next time you pass through our place!

March of any year is probably my nearest thing to being a slack time of the year that I ever get. Long as there is a decent motel and something to keep the wife content, I'll bust my butt to be there. Many thanks for your efforts. Frank.
