We will be stopping in Meers, once a bustling town of miners seeking gold in the Wichita Mountains. The town’s population has dwindled from the gold rush peak of 500 down to the present residents: one family of six people, eight cats and a dog. All that remains of the town now is a world renowned family restaurant also called Meers, home of the "Best Burger in Oklahoma". Famous for their Meersburger, a 7" diameter burger made exclusively from prize winning Texas Longhorn beef raised on the family's own ranch. Beef that is actually lower in cholesterol than chicken!
