It's free to get into Oklahoma. Simply drive in and enjoy the beautiful rolling hills, farmland and picturesque cattle grazing. Try and leave and they sock you for 25 bucks.
Actually, Oklahoma has a few toll roads. These, if you're unfamiliar with them, are pay-to-play expressways that direct traffic around cities like Tulsa. It costs about a buck-thirty to get on the toll road. Not too bad. But once your're on they've got you. Every few miles there's another toll booth where you have to stop and pay to keep going. And for the sake of convenience (theirs) most of the tolls are expected to be paid in coins, thrown from your vehicle into an over sized funnel that instantly counts the change. If it's the right amount according to the number of axles on your vehicle (we had four), you get the green light and can proceed on down the road.
The amount required to pay appears to be random - sometimes it's $2.00, sometimes it's $4.00. And sometimes it's $1.30, which requires you to have nickles as well as quarters. Very strange.
In the end it cost us about $25 to get out of Oklahoma.
Don't let Schwarzenegger hear about this.
