US 83 THE ROAD SOUTH:
THIS ROAD RUNS FROM CANADA TO PANAMA,, SOMETIMES CALLED THE PAN-AMERICAN HIGHWAY....
IT RUNS FROM VIRDEN, MANITOBA, CANADA (FROM Hwy #1 SOUTH IS CALLED 83)SOUTH TROUGH TH U.S. ENTER MEXICO AT BROWNSVILLE, TX / MATAMOROS, MX (Hwys 180, 38, & 101) THEN TO IT'S END TO YAVIZA PANAMA.....
IT COMPLETELY DIVIDES THE COUNTRY (NORTH TO SOUTH)....
US 83 WAS BUILT TO MOVE SUPPLIES FROM US AND CANADA TO THE BIG DIG IN PAMAMA.... AS A KID I DISCOVERED THAT THE US WENT BEFORE AND BUILT WATER AND SEPTIC SYSTEMS ALONG THE ROUTE.... TO KEEP THE PEOPLE THE WERE TRANSPORTING FRON ILLNESS..... THE SYSTEMS HAVE BEEN WORKING , OR NOT WORKING, FOR A LONG TIME... GOOD ADVICE IS TO PLAY IT SAFE....
ALSO MR. SANBORN, OF THE CHASE AND SANBORN FAME, PLACES CAFES WITH CLEAN SAFE WATER AND CLEAN RESTROOMS ALONG THE WAY AND THEN ALL OVER MEXICO.... AND THEY ARE STILL SAFE TODAY..... GOOD TRAVELS.....

Your traveling through NO MAN'S LAND (MNL)
AFTER SOME RESEARCH I FOUND THAT I WAS IN THE DARK ABOUT THIS TIME IN OUR TEXAS/OKLAHOMA HISTORY….THIS WAS A NO MAN’S LAND WHICH WAS LATER IN JACKSON HOLE, WY (visit link)
WE HAD SOME SPECIAL HISTORY THAT MOST OF THE STATE DON’T KNOW OR UNDERSTAND… I DOSE NOT MATTER IF YOU ARE ON THE OKLAHOMA SIDE OR THE TEXAS SIDE THERE ARE STILL GREAT STORIES/LESSON…
IT APPEARS THAT THE TWO STATES (TX &OK) HAVE TRIED TO INCREASE THERE LAND HOLDINGS…. [SEE MAPS] THIS STARTED WHEN TEXAS BECAME A NATION…. HOWEVER IT DIDN’T GO TO COURT UNTIL OKLAHOMA BECAME A STATE AND THE FEDERAL GOV. WANTED THE LAND FOR INDIAN NATIONS,, ABOUT 1822-1914…. THEN IN 1907 OKLAHOMA BECAME A STATE…. FULLED WITH NATIONS OF NATIVE AMERICANS….
IF I UNDERSTAND IT RIGHT TEXAS ASSUMED THE IT’S BORDER WERE TO REMAIN AS THE SPANISH HAD DRAWN THEM… [SEE MAP A] HOWEVER THE U.S. TOOK MOST OF THE NORTHERN PART OF TEXAS WHEN THEY WERE ADMITTED IN 1945 AND BASICALLY CUT OFF THE TOPS OF LOUISIANA (PART OF THE PURCHASE) AND TEXAS… LEAVING TEXAS WITH A PANHANDLE….
THE LAND DISPUTE WAS ABOUT THE NORTHERN BOARDS…
OKLAHOMA WANTED PEASE RIVER ESTABLISHED AS THERE SOUTHERN BORDER (WHICH RUNS JUST NORTH OF PADUCAH, TX).. (visit link)
SO TEXAS SAID THEY WANTED THE NORTH FORK OF THE RED (JUST NORTH OF SHAMROCK, TX..)…[SEE MAP B]
AS THE FIGHT ESCALATED OKLAHOMA THAN ASK FOR THE 101st (WEST THE OTHER SIDE OF CLAREDON, TX.)…
TEXAS ASK FOR THE 99th (EAST OF MAGNUM, OK)…
THEN OKLAHOMA ASK FOR THE 102nd (WEST OF CANYON, TX.)…
AND TEXAS ASK FOR THE 98th… (EAST OF ANADARLO, OK)
THE BIG COMPROMISE…
OR AS WE TEXANS SAID: “STEALING OF OUR LAND” resulted in the loss from Texas to what is now Oklahoma of 1,511,576 acres.
IN 1927 IT WAS TAKEN BEFORE THE U.S. SUPREME COURT AND THE PRESENT BOUNDARY WAS ESTABLISHED…I’M NOT SURE THAT I’VE GOT IT ALL RIGHT YET,, MAY NEED A LAWYER????
THERE WAS A 3rd COURT MEETING IN 1989 BUT THE BOUNDRY DIDN’T CHANGE…
. { I THINK OKLAHOMA JUST WANTED THE COTTONBOWL AND COWBOYS TO BE ADDED TO OKLAHOMA????} JUST KIDDIN…..
…. I REMEMBER A MENTION OF THE TEXAS DISPUTE IN 7th GRADE TEXAS HISTORY CLASS…
I STARTED MY FIRST CACHE WITH “NO MANS LAND SOUTH” (GC17RYG ) AS I THOUGHT ABOUT IT… I DECIDED IT WOULD BE NICE TO SET UP THE SERIES TO SHARE THIS EXPERIENCE…
. AS WE DROVE DOWN THE 100th MERIDIAN WE FOUND A TYPE OF BENCH MARK THAT WAS ISSUED BY THE SUPREM COURT IN 1927… I WILL CONTACT WAYPOINT AND SEE IF WE CAN SET THEM UP TOO???
MY GPS INDICATED THAT THEY WERE PLACED @ 100. 00.024 ABOUT 1 (ONE) MILES APART… THX FOR YOUR HELP…. L8R FREDY
