Highway, Interstate & Rest 69/75 Ok. Line *MI LbNA #27919 (ARCHIVED)

NOTE: This box went missing and was retired. Another letterbox was created with different stamp, a slightly different location and a new log book and container.
The "Safari Man- On The Highway/ and Interstate" series depicts things one might see as they drive the highways of the U.S. These are targeted mainly for rest stops but might pop up anywhere. This letterbox is titled WALKING THE DOG. Happy traveling!

Difficulty: Very Easy Drive Up
Time: 15 minutes. Distance ~ 20 yards round trip
Please bring your stamp, a stamp pad, pen and an old rag to wipe off the box/your hands.

Going either north or south on U.S. 69/75, get off at the travel center just south of the Red River on the south/Texas side of the Border of Ok. and Texas. (When both are in contention I root for OU but was born in Wichita Falls and grew up in Tulsa, graduated from Okla. State and now reside in Ohio). Once in the vicinity of the rest stop find the road that brings in the northbound cars on the back side/west side of the center. Follow that road, bypassing the entry to the center on the right, and continue on toward the river until the road turns to gravel and stop at the gate with the concrete abutments on each side. Follow the abutment on the left to its end and then around to the backside of the earthen mound. Find the dog walker under some wooden planks and log. When done stamping in, in your car, please place the log book in a baggie and seal it well and then place that baggie and the stamp in the other baggie and seal it well. Hopefully a well sealed and double bagged log will stay dry in spite of the pouch not being waterproof. I hope you enjoyed this respite from your drive and will let me know the outcome of your visit with this letterbox....I hope it is fun. Cordially, Glenn/Safari Man of Vincent Ohio
