[QUOTE="RidgeHunter, post: 2587580, member: 4319"] Yeah, this makes no sense. A good number of states get worse weather conditions than us. Look at the upper midwest. It gets triple digits there just like it does here and it gets 30-50 degrees colder every winter than we EVER see here in Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Michigan, etc . Hell, even our neighbor to the north of Kansas gets much worse temp fluctuations than us and their roads are much better. OP, it's a riddle that will never be answered. Like "Why is the old lady in a bad mood?" or "How big is Cher's penis?" We'll never know. I think it's part of our clannish attitude. Travelers hit the state line, bite their tongue on a bump, and decide to keep on going. I drive a shitton for work also, and I've driven thousands upon thousands of miles in other states in the lower 48 and I've never, ever, ever seen roads that approach the shitpaths we drive on in OK. It's part of our unique charm. The turnpikes really make me smile. Paid roads. Remember the Cimmaron before the last patchjob paveover? I was working in Ponca communting fom Tulsa for a while about 6 years ago. Sore red teats on a fat boar hog, that was an awful drive. 412 outside Chouteau is a real winner, too. About 8 years ago I actually though I had a flat there. Then we have Rollercaoster Bridge on the east section of the Creek. WOO CHITLINS HANG ON, WE'S A DRIVIN' THE SUPERHIGHWAY TO GRANDMAS HOUSE!
