Geocache Description:

You are looking for a magnetic keyholder which is painted to blend with its surroundings. This cache is only available on the eastbound side of I-44, or from a local access road.

Congratulations to flat spin for FTF!

Sometimes we all face the tough choices when traveling in Oklahoma... Do I take the turnpike and make good time, or do I take the back road where all of the geocaches are hidden?

Well, this series of caches was created with that exact dilemma in mind! There's no need to be late to that important meeting in Tulsa, or to risk missing that flight out of Will Rogers... Now you can get across Oklahoma from corner to corner, top to bottom, end to end, and not miss out on the opportunity to score a smiley!

Truck drivers! Now you, too can snag a smiley, without your dispatcher looking at your satellite unit and asking why you are out of route! In the time it would take to visit the man about the horse, you, too can add another find to your caching profile!

The Turner Turnpike was named after Governor Roy J. Turner, who pushed for efforts to build this toll road to connect the state's two largest cities. It was authorized by the Oklahoma Legislature in 1947 and opened in May of 1953. The Turner Turnpike is the oldest of the state's ten turnpikes. The route is signed as Interstate 44 for its entire length, but was constructed prior to its designation as the Interstate. This road is probably the nicest and best maintained highway in Oklahoma.
