A very small stretch of one of America's most historically important roads is being dedicated as the Donald J. Trump Highway up in Oklahoma's panhandle. While the hot story surrounding it across the medias today is how it was "snuck" into a bill about bridge and road bill, it was literally a bill written to name several bridges and stretches of road across the state. No harm, no foul. The thing nobody is really talking about it is, this stretch of road travels through no-mans-land and the odds of you finding yourself on it are bleak.
Now I've been all over Oklahoma, but I don't think I've ever even crossed into the great wide unknown that is the panhandle, though it is on my list of places I want to experience. Black Mesa, tiger muskie fishing, high desert and endless roads. Sounds good to me. One of the many routes that can take you there is US 287, of which an Oklahoma portion has been named in President Trumps honor. It's a highways built long before the interstate system and stretches from Houston all the way up to Yellowstone National Park. I can't tell you if it's a good road or not, but as it exists in the panhandle, there's no inspiration of confidence in its condition... I'll tell you why.
