[edit] Tourism?

This article sounded like something out of a tourism brochure, so I removed the bulk of what seemed non-encylopedic and put it here. Feel free to re-write it into an encyclopedic tone and put it back in the article if you know more about this area. --Wolf530 00:26, May 20, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Miami link

The City of Miami was included at the bottom, but I couldn't figure out how to link to the Wikipedia article for Miami, OK...it kept linking to Miami, FL. If someone who knows what they are doing can reinsert Miami, and have it link to the proper article, I would appreciate it.--rhmoore 05:25, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

You can do this with [[Miami, OK|Miami]]. The problem is fixed now. Ash Lux 23:14, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Whitewater Rafting?

I have lived in Green Country my whole life and have never heard of anyone going whitewater rafting! Are you sure that the whitewater picture shouldn't be listed under Colorado?

Oh yes, believe it or not, there's a big whitewater rafting industry in green country. The best is on the illinois river. It's fun, you should go sometime.

Well, believe it or not, I have lived in Tahlequah my whole life. The Illinois River is about 4 miles from my house and I have canoed up and down the river but have never, ever seen anyone white water rafting like the picture shows on this page. T. White 08:55, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

I removed the photo for white water rafting on the Arkansas River. While the river may boast rapids suitable for rafting in other states, it is primarily a navigational route in Oklahoma, connecting to the Mississippi River in Arkansas. Also, the Illinois River in Tahlequah, while a prime location for canoeing, also doesn't serve as a location for whitewater rafting as their are few rapids. My source is merely the fact that I have lived in Oklahoma my whole life. Also, the photo was taken in Colorado and not in Oklahoma. T. White 07:06, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
