<\/a>\n This is the New Mexico\/Colorado\/Oklahoma triple point. Dale takes this opportunity to breathe some refreshing Oklahoma air, and drink some water he has brought with him from New Mexico – and park in two states at the same time.<\/p>\n
\n Dale parks the car squarely in a single state, and looks up at the Kansas\/Colorado\/Oklahoma marker that is visible from miles away – a good thing, because the dirt roads that one takes to get to it are somewhat labyrinthine.<\/p>\n
\n The Oklahoma panhandle is known for the occasional thunderstorm.<\/p>\n
\n
\n One of Dale’s excellent Arizona state route 85 signs. That<\/i> is a Navajo good-luck symbol – pay no attention to what they were doing with it in Europe a couple years after this sign style debuted in 1927. (And yes, you can have one of your own<\/a>!)<\/p>\n
\n That is one heavily loaded bee.<\/p>\n
\n Old US-64 heads east towards Oklahoma. Several sections of 64 have been reduced to dirt road, including two several-mile ones that sandwich a seemingly random 100 foot long paved segment.<\/p>\n
\n The area is filled with strange, demented beasts. Actually, this one is cute. Wait, what I am saying – oh no, the savage carnivores have eaten my brain!<\/p>\n
\n Here, the road is paved – and there are no terrifying creatures to be seen anywhere.<\/p>\n
\n Welcome to Cleaver Country.<\/p>\n
\n This sign, several feet from the triple-point marker, may very well go back to the 1910s. It has the individual letters cut out of the steel with a blowtorch.<\/p>\n
\n We rustle up an antelope.<\/p>\n
\n We arrive in Boise City, home of this six-way (!) multiplex. And yes, the routes are multiplexed, and not just intersecting – all the way around the traffic circle surrounding the courthouse, you are on all six routes in one direction or the other. Too bad 325 doesn’t continue because, hey, that would be a seven-way multiplex.<\/p>\n
\n Oops. Yes, it was once a U. S. route, but not quite with that number.<\/p>\n
\n This is indeed a white guide sign. And it is brand new. It replaces a … different white guide sign<\/a> that is from 2006. The entire roundabout is filled with white guide signs.<\/p>\n
\n There is one green sign – located on the inside of the circle.<\/p>\n
\n The Santa Fe Trail was divided into many branches, with the hope that at least one was serviceable during any weather event. This is the Cimarron River branch, and follows US-56.<\/p>\n
\n The foreground flower is in Oklahoma. The background ones are in Kansas.<\/p>\n
\n Dale is in precisely one state here: Colorado. He never quite made it directly under<\/i> the marker.<\/p>\n
\n Will we get caught in a thunderstorm at sunset? (Nope, we miss it by a few miles.)<\/p>\n
