 Now
we're on Scenic OK 10 north of Tahlequah. This is a very twisty, and
very scenic road, that makes me think more of the Great Lakes than the Great
Plains. |
 I
think this is US 62 East in Tahlequah. |
 A
nice S-curve on OK 10 NB. |
 OK
10 goes by these forested bluffs. |
 I
like your curves, baby! |
 Oooh,
yeah! |
 Whoa,
there! Try not to hit that GIANT ROCK. |
 OK
10 at US 59 and Scenic US 412. "Scenic" US 412 is a bit of a misnomer,
and should really just be called "Alternate" US 412. Regular US 412 is
the Cherokee Turnpike. |
 Scenic
US 412 and US 59 headed east. The bridge carries the Cherokee Turnpike
over this road. |
 A
Cherokee Turnpike shield. Older turnpike shields have a blue Oklahoma
with the name of the turnpike inside. I like these newer ones better. |
 Not
the Cherokee Turnpike anymore, but this is the US 412 and US 59 expressway
Eastbound. |
 SB
US 59 leaves the roadway here, just before US 412 enters the state of
Arkansas. |
 Still
in Oklahoma, but we're looking into the state of Arkansas now. |
 Welcome
to Arkansas on US 412 EB. |
 AR
59 joins US 412 now, around Siloam Springs. |
 The
scene on US 412 EB in Arkansas. |
 We
took US 412 to I-540 NB. |
 I-540
in these parts is pretty rural. It bypasses a bunch of smaller cities
before turning into US 71. |
 Bentonville
has a US 71B. |
 The
freeway ends in a mile. |
 But
first we go through a rock cut with layers. |
 The
US 71B exit. |
 I-540
North has ended, and now we're on US 71 North. |
 US
71 reduces to 2 lanes at the Missouri border. |
 North
US 71 in Missouri now. The 2-lane stretch of US 71 in southwestern
Missouri is under construction now, probably to bring it to 4 lanes. |
 Yep.
Looks like. |
 The
current beginning of the US 71 freeway near Anderson. |
 A
US 71 freeway scene. |
 US
71 North hooks up with I-44 East here. MO 249 continues ahead to MO 66
in Joplin. |
 A
pretty menacing cloud near St. Louis on I-44 EB. |
