GL: Arkanas River to Muscogee / was Cairo dwn the Miss was/ Fuel Consumption

[D C *Mac* Macdonald]

Although I have not yet visited Three Forks Harbor marina
at Muscogee, OK, I do know that the developer/owner is
the owner of one of the two premier yacht clubs on Grand
Lake in NE Oklahoma.  Joe Harwood does  NOT  do things
in a half-way manner!  I'm reasonably sure that this marina
is still being developed, but it will be a welcome addition in
this part of Oklahoma.  There are some nice areas to the
north of Kerr Reservoir, home of Applegate Cove marina
and I suspect that some development other than at Muscogee
is probably likely.  The Grand/Neosho River branch can take
you to Fort Gibson, OK where a pre-Civil War fort has been
partially restored to original conditions.  Jefferson Davis had
been posted there as a Lieutenant.
