What do you drive?

Only reason I ask, is because (depending on your rig) you can park right on the riverbottom.

That's what most of us do. My buddy parks his down there, and he drives a 2 wheel drive 1/2 ton with bald tires.

Ronnie made it down there with his big a$$ed oil burner and a pretty good sized trailer.

 

We will be in my Dodge ram or my buddies NEW F150 Crew cab. The trailer has both quads on it. If we find another quad, it will be ithe back of a pickup. (probalby will take both trucks as my buddy does not want to scratch his up. So far NO LUCK on the extra quad.)
Depends on if he talks his wife into going. We have never had any problem geting out of an area.

 

Truck will not get scratched unless you decide to do more than park it. It's a gravel road to get down there, and I've never scratched the paint on either truck getting down there.

It will get dusty (gravel road) and maybe a little mud, as the road is in disrepair, and usually has a lot of water-filled holes.

 

**Click here** for a picture of what the road looks like for most of the way...There is then about a 35 yard shot through the trees to get to the riverbottom...Plenty of clearance to get down there with all but the biggest of truck/trailer setups....Unless you are talking RV....Which I wouldn't suggest, as some of it is a little off-camber.

 

td250r.... Thats a sweet ride man, love the black look. How do you like it?

 

Gordon....

Here are some driving directions for you. You will take the first Purcell Exit you come to. I believe this is exit 91, there will be a McDonald's there. You will follow the signs into Purcell. You will be on Green St. This is the major thoroughfare of Purcell. You will go north on Green until you get to MAIN st. MAIN St. Runs east and west. You will turn east and continue east through several stop signs. Eventually you will come to a street called "Canadian". You will simply continue eastbound on MAIN and it will go down a pretty good hill. You will see the Amtrak Depot at the bottom of the hill.

DO NOT park at the Amtrak Depot not matter what you do. If you want to park in the area and ride to the river there is an old red warehouse and you can park on the NORTH side of it. If you want to drive to the river itself you will turn right (south) on the gravel road that runs in front of the depot. Keep going south for about a quarter mile and you will come to a rail crossing. Turn left so that you drive across the tracks and then turn back left (North) again and follow the gravel/dirt road for quite a ways. You will see a couple of places to turn in but DO NOT TURN in those two places. You will see a small yellow railroad signal sign on the left hand side of the road that says "P-65" or "P-68" or somethign like. You will then make the first right turn and like Mike said, it is about 35 yards through the woods to the riverbottom. You should have plenty of ground clearance as I see cars down there a lot.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Bob

 

Yeah, the sign says P65....This is a pic of it.

Go 100 yards past that sign, and turn right through the trees.

 

And our nominee for best photography in a short subject Documentary is Mike.

Mike Is nominated for his superb documenting and presentation of "The p-65 Sign that tells you where to turn to get to the river" photo which will serve as reference and learning materials for generations to come.

Bob

 

Hey Bob,
I thought it was a good picture. Plenty of definition, contrast,a good subject and in focus. Besides, We need pictures to get to your meeting. You guys in Oklahoma don't have meetings much do you???

 

BOB IS IN THE NEWS !!!!

Yep, Bob showed up in Seminole's only newspaper today. The Producer printed Bob's article supporting the ATV trails in a section they call "Another Point Of View". Anyone can have their article printed in the newspaper in this section. It will be printed in its entirety just as it is recieved.
If you would like to have your point of veiw posted in the Seminole Producer conglomerate (circulation of 5500), go to www.seminoleproducer.com
Scroll down on the left side of the webpage until you see "Write Another Point Of Veiw".
Click on it and post your "Point of Veiw" and it will soon appear in our daily paper (usually one - two busniess days).

You can also reach the news editor (Karen Anson) by going to the same website and clicking on "News". She checks her email regularly.

The Seminole Producer ran a story about the equestrian trails at Sportsman Lake in last Sunday's paper. They stated that they would be running a feature story about ATVers in THIS Sunday's paper. Usually, to be included in Sunday's paper, you must have your letter/point of veiw emailed to them by noon on Friday. However, sometimes (not always) they still have time to get it in if you're a few hours late.

I think it would be great if we had some support letters in Sunday's paper along with the article they plan to run, but that's up to you guys.
