7 August 2005: problems with my computer, first it totally crashing on me then getting it back up but forgetting my un-written-down password to get to my FrontPage files, are finally cleared up. But since continuing time constraints prevent me from taking new pictures to be used as the Picture of the Week, that feature has been dropped.

30 December 2003: new Picture of the Week added

21 December 2003: new Picture of the Week added. Realized the other day that my e-mail for this site has gone all wonky. Seems to only be accepting e-mail from people who had emailed that account prior to the wonkiness. Everyone else it's treating as junk and/or spam. I apologize for that, and am working to rectify the situation. To those of you who have sent me email, I'm sorry I didn't answer. I wasn't ignoring you, I just never got the email.

14 December 2003: new Picture of the Week added

8 December 2003: new Picture of the Week added, as well as both termini of OKs-78, 79, 83, 87, 89, 91, 92(south), 93, 96, 98, 99A(south), 99C, 110 & 131. All termini of all state highways now have pages. Map that was at left removed as a result.

17, 24 & 30 November 2003: new Picture of the Week added

10 November 2003: old Picture of the Week added, to mark today's 1st anniversary of this site. Both termini of OKs-54(south), 54A, 54B, 55, 73, 115, 146, 149 & 183A added. Oddities section removed, as any future unusual pictures will be appearing as POTWs.

26 October 2003: new Picture of the Week added, as well as both termini of OKs-5(west), 5C, BUS-9 (Gotebo & Hobart), 30, 34, 42, 44, 44A & 46.

21 & 28 September, 5, 12 & 19 October 2003: new Picture of the Week added

14 September 2003: new Picture of the Week added. The picture phase is completed for the Oklahoma State Highway terminus points; still several pages to do. Once they're finished the map at left will be removed. Also added southern terminus of OK-6, and western termini of OK-5(east), 7, 9, 19 & 37(north), completing both ends of all six highways.

6 September 2003: new Picture of the Week added

3 September 2003: added northern terminus of OK-6, both termini of OKs-47 & 47A, and all three termini of OK-63A.

All of the aforementioned pages now complete. As web pages of roads in other states will soon be given different background colors (as was the case with Kansas), I will be duplicating those colors on this page to easily distinguish Oklahoma highways from those in other states.

7 August 2003: map at left updated with results from roadtrips the last three days. Everything north of I-40, including the entire Panhandle, is now complete.

4 August 2003: finally figured out the transition point between OK-75A and Alt-US-75. Both pages updated.

Very short highways from this point on will have a small Oklahoma Wishshield over the highway on the map at the top of the respective page, making it easier to find where in the state the highway is (older maps will be updated at time permits).

Found new northern terminus of OK-137 & adjusted that entry. Added both termini of the newly-commissioned OK-69A(north), part of which replaced the Oklahoma portion of Alternate-US-69, whose entry has therefore been removed from the Other Oklahoma Termini page.

22 January 2003:
added southern termini of OKs-18 & 72 (completing both ends of both), northern terminus of OK-9A (west), eastern terminus of OK-113, western terminus of OK-99A (north)(completing both ends), western convergence point of OKs-3E & 3W, and both termini of OKs-9A (central), 150 & 270.

Added northern terminus of OK-99, the western termini of OKs-28, 88 (completed both ends in both cases) and 10, and both termini for OK-123 & Nowata's US-Alternate-169. Updated the chart at left accordingly. Found a couple of SHs that apparently no longer exist, notations of such made on the terminus page.

2 December 2002:
took the car for Vacation Road Trip Day 2 yesterday. Not gonna be able to cover as much ground with it as I could have with the pick-up, but did get several more roads covered. Charted the areas I have done pics of (state highways only) so far, as shown in the shaded area at left. Added northern termini of OKs-16, 52 (north) and 72, and both termini of OKs-51B, Loop-56, 80, 80A, 104, 162, 165 and 251A, and US Business Routes 62 & 64 in Muskogee.

30 November 2002:
posted results of my Vacation Roadtrip Day 1. (Unfortunately, the pick-up's transmission gave up the ghost some 85 miles from home, costing me nearly $200 to have towed back home, so there's not likely going to be a Day 2. Bummer.) Added a page for out-of-state highways, since I now have some pictures for that section. Moved the US-44 sign goof to a new "Oddities" page.
     On the OK State Highways page, I realized that, since Eric at OKRoads.com is linking to my state highway pages on his site, I should reciprocate here. So I did. His pages are now linked to the actual state highway shields, while I am still using the design I came up with for my pages. (His individual pages don't link to my site, and I'm not about to ask him to change all his pages to do so, so if you go from one of my pages to one of his, please use the 'Back' button.) Also listed all the state highways on the page, even the ones neither of us have taken pictures of yet, getting the suffixed (ending in a letter) highways from Shearer Publishing's Roads of Oklahoma map book, available at nearby Wal-Marts and better bookstores everywhere. Not gonna list the termini for the non-pictured highways since Eric has already done so on his site.
     On the three terminus pages, I flip-flopped my shading designs. Termini I've posted pics of are shaded in white, while those at Eric's site are shaded in gray. If the column containing the shield is shaded, both termini have been photographed.
     And now for the highways (finally!). Posted the northern terminus of OK-82, the eastern termini of OKs-28 & 66, the southern termini of OK-137 (and maybe the northern end, I'm not sure) and US-Alternate-69 (as well as where it crosses the state line), and both termini of OKs-2 (north), 10C, 25 (both north & south), 28A, 85, 85A and 125, KS-66, MO-66 and Joplin BR-44. Also retroactively added direct links to each page mentioned on this page.
     Also, just as I was finishing I realized I had put the wrong date on some of my pics. As you can see, I did a bunch of new pages, and I didn't feel like changing every one of them. So any page that says the pictures were taken on 28 November 2002, they were actually taken on the 29th.

28 November 2002:
northeastern terminus of Creek Turnpike & western terminus of Will Rogers Turnpike (same spot) added.

23 November 2002:
eastern terminus of OK-11 added. Site name changed to "Roadklahoma" and a few links on various pages turned into graphics.

22 November 2002:
US-Alt-75 added to OK-75A(N) page, as the state apparently uses the names interchangeably, and the southern terminus of the dually-named hwy added, as were the eastern terminus of OK-117 (completing both ends), and both ends of OK-67.

17 November 2002:
southern terminus of OK-88, and both termini for OKs-69A, 167, 266, 412B & 412P added.

16 November 2002:
eastern terminus of Cimarron Turnpike starting a new section for terminus points within Oklahoma for US Highways, Interstates and Turnpikes. Northern termini of OK-97 (completing both ends) and OK-48, and both termini for OK-151 added.

15 November 2002:
proposed change to state highway shield mentioned on front page. All state highway shields that had been created for the terminus pages altered to reflect the change. This update page added.

10 November 2002:
subdomain created. Interstate 844 proposal duplicated from Side Trips on the main site. Northern terminus of OK-75A(N), southern terminus of OK-97, eastern terminus of OK-33, western terminus of OK-117, and both termini to OK-117A and OK-166 added. "US-44" sign goof added.

Back
