Jeep is the master of designing vehicles worthy of any adventure, whether you're traveling to a grocery store, across state lines, or into the unknown. The 2020 Jeep Compass is another testament to that mastery. Here are the top reasons why you need to check out the 2020 Compass. Confident Capability Jeeps are defined by a capability that gives drivers confidence no matter the weather conditions, and the 2020 Jeep Compass takes that expectation to the next level. Driving the 2020 Compass's capability is a 2.4-liter Tigershark engine with a MultiAir two-valve train system that cranks out 180 horsepower and can tow up to 2000 pounds. All that power doesn't mean you have to sacrifice efficiency, though. The Compass also boasts a best-in-class highway fuel economy at 32 miles per gallon on the highway. The 2020 Jeep Compass complements its powerhouse engine with a host of capability features that allow you to drive through any conditions fearlessly. The Compass's Trail Rating on the Trailhawk trim means that the SUV has passed tests in traction, ground clearance, maneuverability, articulation, and water fording. That Trail Rated badge means that you no longer have to be restricted by where the asphalt ends. Maximize that capability by switching on the Selec-Terrain Traction Management System, which will help the Compass stably travel through snow, sand, mud, and even over rocks. more Innovative Connectivity Just because the Compass has taken you miles from the road doesn't mean you have to lose your touch with the world. The 2020 Compass comes equipped with the Uconnect system, accessible through an 8.4-inch touchscreen. Uconnect keeps you connected to your smartphone apps, navigational information, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and more. If that's not enough connectivity, you can also use the available built-in 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot that can connect to up to eight devices. The available SiriusXM Guardian takes the innovation to the next level by connecting you even more tightly to your vehicle. Through Guardian, you can remotely start your vehicle, lock and unlock your doors, locate your Compass by activating the horn, and access important information on your SUV. Comprehensive Safety All the bells and whistles on a new vehicle mean little if you can't keep you and your passengers safe. Fortunately, the 2020 Jeep Compass comes equipped with a comprehensive safety package that will allow you to drive confidently. The backbone of this safety package is the bones of the Compass itself. The 2020 Compass's high-strength steel body is designed to keep you safe in a crash by optimizing the Compass's dynamics and weight. Supplementing the Compass's tough body is a suite of safety technology that helps drivers reach their destination without incident. This suite includes Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Path Detection, the ParkSense Rear Park Assist system, Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking, LaneSense Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go, and a ParkView Rear Back Up Camera with the Rear Cross Path Detection system. The 2020 Jeep Compass is the ideal blend of capability and safety, of innovation and performance. Don't believe us? Come down to Blue Ribbon CDJ and take the 2020 Compass for a test drive.

Folks living in Sallisaw are conveniently situated between various nature preserves, museums, and more. Many don't realize the natural beauty that awaits in the eastern end of the Sooner State. If you're looking for a fun day trip idea out of Sallisaw and back home, here are five ideas that are sure to work for families, couples, or solo adventurers. Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge Not 30 minutes from the center of Sallisaw, Sequoyah has enough beautiful nature to explore for a whole day and then some. The giant sequoia tree is the star attraction and a great place for a photo, but the entire park has beautiful sights offered by the marshy forests of eastern Oklahoma. Many visit Sequoyah for a pleasant sightseeing drive, but with the whole day at your disposal, get closer to nature and take one of the biking or walking trails. more Tahlequah History Trail About an hour north of Sallisaw awaits Tahlequah, a small city at the foothills of the scenic Ozark Mountains. While the mountains are a bit much to explore in only a day, Tahlequah has several interesting historical attractions that keep you moving, such as the outdoor Tahlequah History Trail, which takes several hours to complete. The town has an interesting and storied past regarding settlers and the Cherokee tribes of the area, so give it a look if you'd like to learn something new. Gathering Place Roughly one to two hours northwest of Sallisaw awaits Tulsa, the bustling Art Deco city. While there's plenty to see in this metropolis, one great day trip idea is Gathering Place. This crowd-pleaser of a public park has plenty of open space, gorgeous vistas, and interesting manmade constructs that show off the city's artistic flair. If you get hungry during your adventure, the on-site Vista at the Boat House restaurant offers great meals and views of the park from above. Cavanal Hill If you want a truly unique nature attraction and a good hike to book, consider making the 30-minute trip south to Bokoshe and traverse Cavanal Hill. Any elevated spot of natural land must be at least 2,000 feet high to classify as a mountain, and at 1,999 feet high, Cavanal Hill instead qualifies at the world's tallest hill. Although, after hiking the way up on foot and then looking out across the horizon from the top, it'll certainly feel like a mountain. From the starting point of Sallisaw, travelers are close to fun attractions that can be visited and returned from in a single day, without feeling like you missed out on too much. Give these ideas a shot the next time you've got an urge to explore the state. image via pexels.com

Weekdays, Mazzio's offers a lunch buffet to save even more on a big meal. You'll find keto options as well, for when pizza is too carb-heavy, along with vegetarian options. Roma Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria Here's a great hole-in-the-wall Italian spot that's a little more classy than a family chain, but still great for all ages. Enjoy a domestic beer or house wine with your menu selections, which include baked pasta, steaks, veal dishes, and, of course, classic New York pizza. New York-style pizzas have large slices on thin crusts that are crispy, but still foldable. If you're leaning more towards pasta, consider trying Roma's New Luigi Special, with shrimp, chicken, sausage, roasted pepper, and spinach in a white cream sauce over spaghetti noodles.
