The Message Tree. Colbert Oklahoma Before Oklahoma was a state, this tree gained the title of “The Message Tree”. Everyone in this area who needed to communicate with a loved one or business partner knew to nail a message to this tree. This area where the travel center is located has early historic stories from the Overland Mail Stopover to the Butterfield Stage Line, a mail route that connected St. Louis to San Francisco in the mid-1800s. In 1931 there were bridge wars between Texas and Oklahoma. Governor Alfalfa Bill Burray came with his troops to open the New Free Bridge. Governor Murray posted a sign on this tree telling everyone he had plowed up the road to the old toll bridge and needed everyone to meet that same day to cross over the free bridge.

Showtune Aggie Bear Once Little Texas Aggie Trumpet Case Bear and I crossed the State Line into Oklahoma he began singing: Ooook-lahoma, where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain? Oklahama, where the wavin' wheat can sure smell sweet? When the wind comes right behind the rain Ooook-lahoma, ev'ry night my honey lamb and I Ev'ry night, sit alone and talk, and watch a hawk makin' lazy circles in the sky (sky, ah-ah) Traveling with a little bear singing Broadway showtunes is a nightmare. This must be what it is like traveling on a Texas A&M Singing Cadet bus.
