Like Route 66ers caught in a maze

P_Bar Farms between Hydro and Weatherford on Oklahoma’s old Route 66 sets up a maze in a corn field each fall.

According to the Daily Oklahoman, a centennial edition of the maze has been created to recognize the state’s 100th year in 2007. A photo of the special “Maize” can be seen on the farm’s site here.

Though the correct pathways can be walked in less than 30 minutes, most directionally challenged visitors will require about one hour to travel through the 9-foot-high puzzle containing more than 95 decision points, 300,000 stalks and 3.5 miles of twists and turns.

GPS devices are not allowed. 😉

  1. Okay, its subtle but in the picture of the maze it looks like they separated the Y from the rest of YEARS so that if you consider the Y to be simply the first decision point it looks like “Oklahoma Centennial 100 EARS” as in ears of corn.

    If intentional – great job. If not intentional – I need to get a life. 😉
