Geocache Description:

You are looking for an unpainted large bison. This cache is only available on the eastbound side of I-40. This is a micro, so bring yer own writin' stick!
Congrats to Farrill4 for FTF!

Sometimes we all face the tough choices when traveling in Oklahoma...

Do I take the interstate 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 Elk City, 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!

Interstate 40 stretches 2,559.25 miles from Barstow, CA to Wilmington, NC. It intersects 8 of the 10 major north-south interstates, the only exceptions being I-5 and I-45.

In Oklahoma, I-40 follows the general route of the Beale Wagon Road from Arkansas to California. The Beale Wagon Road (also known as The California Road) was built in 1857-59 by a team led by Lt. Edward Fitzgerald Beale using a team of camels as pack animals. The alignment in the western half of Oklahoma closely parallels the famous route 66. Oklahoma has 331 miles of I-40 within its boundaries, reaching from Texola to Roland.

When the last portion of I-40 was completed in the late 1980s, Charles Kuralt stated: "Thanks to the interstate highway system, it is now possible to travel from coast to coast without seeing anything.” Having traveled this highway from end to end, I can say that while I may not agree with his point of view, I can understand what he meant.
