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.
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.
You have now completed the series (or if you are starting with this one you are beginning the series) and are at Oxford Rd & K-55 which runs between Belle Plain and Udall. The Old K-15 route continued east on K-55 where it meets up with the current K-15. You are looking for a large camo taped lock-n-lock container. It has plenty of room for trackables and SWAG. I have placed one of my trackables in the cache to start off.
