This series is meant to bring out some history from around the Mulvane area. So for history sake and to get some new caches around the Mulvane/Udall area I have placed the series along the old K-15 Highway route starting at the current K-15/K-53 junction.At this time Old K-15 #2 is not going to be published until I can find a safe location. Feel free to use Mulvane Rest Area as #2. Terrain is set at 3 to allow for water, depending on how much is in the ditch.
The idea for this series came to me when I was thinking about my days back in the early 80’s when I was on the then Mulvane Civil Defense Fire Department. I was responding to a fire out east of town when one of the “old timers” got on the radio and said to just follow the “Old K-15” and you will find the fire. I had no idea at the time that K-15 went any other way than in the current diagonal from Mulvane to Udall.
Originally K-15 went east out of Mulvane on 119th St. S. approximately 2 ¼ miles to River Rd. (Su.Co.)/127th St. E (Sedg.Co.); then south 1 mile to 140th North; then east 1 mile to Oxford Rd. (Su.Co.)/143rd St. E. (Sedg.Co.); then south 5 miles, crossing the current K-15, where it meets K-55; then east to Udall.
Around 1945 the diagonal road was build from Udall up to Oxford Road. The roads were still dirt. By 1951 K-15 was connected diagonally from Mulvane to Udall and the road was paved.
This is where you make your first turn going south off 119th. Make sure you are on River Rd. and not on Oxford Rd. as it does not go thru from 119th. You are looking for a small tape covered tube type container. This is a log only container so you will need to bring your own pen.
Congratulations to ksrenegade and Lincoln B for the Co-FTF's !!
