You Can't Roller Skate __ _ _______ ____" was a Top 40 hit for Oklahoma singer/songwriter Roger Miller in 1966. If you can complete the lyric, you've got a leg up on solving the theme of this Lawton cache series. All caches are micros or smaller. There is a high muggle factor at most locations, so use extreme stealth.
This series was originally placed for the enjoyment of the SouthWest Area Geocachers (SWAG) and the Texoma Geocaching Assn. (ToGA) when they gathered for a meeting in Lawton in 2011. Twelve caches were in the original run, but the number has grown over the years with additions such as this one.
Everyone knows that it's a big no-no to drive a motorized vehicle if you're under the influence. But what about rollerskating after you've had a few too many? If you guessed that it's illegal in Oklahoma, you're wrong. Using roller skates while intoxicated is generally not illegal in Oklahoma. Our DUI laws, like in many other states, specifically apply to motor vehicles. Roller skates are not classified as motor vehicles under Oklahoma law, so it's not illegal to operate them while under the influence of alcohol.
So what about a buffalo? While riding a buffalo on a roadway in Oklahoma is not explicitly illegal, it's treated similarly to riding any other animal. You'll be subject to the same traffic laws as a driver of a vehicle ... including DUI laws. And, specific laws regarding riding animals in public spaces, like parks or trails, might exist, so it's best to check local regulations before attempting to ride a buffalo in public, whether you're tipsy or not.
Now you know!
