Turner Turnpike, Oklahoma

The bad part about driving in December, is the sun sets so early. We were driving a toll road out of Tulsa to the Oklahoma border when we lost our light. I have not had much experience with toll roads, and when I first saw the sign that said "Free restrooms ahead 8 miles," I thought it was very funny. Then I realized if you got off the freeway to use a restroom, you would have to pay the toll, then again at the pay point every thirty miles. The "free" restrooms were located in service stations in the median area, which had one gas station and a McDonalds. Talk about a captive audience. Oklahoma can probably fund all of its roads using McDonalds purchase price for this exclusive audience.
