Geocache Description:


Have fun on the
Luther Loop!

Discover the beautiful countyside between Luther, Choctaw and Jones, Oklahoma. Exploring rural farms, ranches and small charming towns. Finding open prairies with many types of animals, even long horn steers!


This is a series of caches circling the far northeat corner of the Oklahoma County. Starting at the city park in Luther, Oklahoma off Route 66, you travel south along luther road to 50th street, heading east to triple X road. Turning south to 36th street looping back north on choctaw road, following north into the hogback road, exploring your way back to Luther.


The town of Luther was established 9 years after the run of 1889. C.G. Jones became interested in the new territory and made land purchases to build towns along the railroad in Oklahoma Territory. The town was then named after Luther Jones, son of C.G. Jones. Luther was platted in 1898 nestled in the hills of blackjack trees in the far northest corner of Oklahoma County. The town slowly grew through the years becoming as you see it today.

The caches were placed near or by either a driveway, a road shoulder or a turn-off intersection. I wanted the run to be as safe and less muddy as possible. So please look for these as your hunting the caches to pull your geocar off the roads. Please do not cross any fences while geocaching, there will be some no trespassing signs posted, but all caches are not placed on other side fences.


Please bring your own writing stick to sign logs. When signing logs, please sign only the date and your geoname to leave room for future geocashers. Abusing logs will get your log deleted. Please post any fun stories, or how long it took you to go cache to cache to completing the run. There are two types of containers, either a pill bottle or a small lock-n-lock. Please use the lock-n-lock for trading travel bugs or coins. Trading swag is also always fun too!


Since they are placed in rural Oklahoma, you will find barbwire by many of the locations, so please watch your children during the fun. To keep the run going, please place caches back in same place as you found. With so many caches on this route, will be hard to maintain, any help will caches will be much appreciated. There are wild animals in the area so use Caution!
