Highway Review:
OK 115 is an almost 60-mile long state highway that is probably
best known as the road to Meers. Meers is a three-building town
in southwest Oklahoma just north of the Wichita Mountains that is
the home to the Meers burger joint, which uses buffalo meat and
some secret recipes to make some of the best buffalo burgers I've
ever tasted! Their cherry cobbler isn't too bad either!
Back to the highway, OK 115 starts
out at U.S. 62 in Cache. It heads north for a few miles before it
enters the Wichita Mountains National Wildlife Refuge, where all
OK 115 signage is stripped. The speed limit, 65 mph before
entering the wildlife refuge, now falls to 45. Unsigned OK 115
heads east on unsigned OK 49 for a couple miles at the
intersection where the brown guide sign points east to Interstate
44 and Lawton. Then OK 115 heads north at the brown guide sign
that says "Meers-4." After leaving the wildlife refuge
a couple miles north of OK 49, the OK 115 signage makes a
triumphant return. Meers is just ahead and if you blink, you'll
probably miss it, and you'll also miss out on one of Oklahoma's
most renowned restaurants. After several curves in the road, OK
115 heads due north once again and adds OK 19 signage to it for a
mile. At OK 9, OK 115 heads west for about a mile before heading
north on its own in the town of Mountain View. One town, Cowden,
and about fifteen miles later, OK 115 ends at OK 152.
