hey guys....i'm new here..i've been posting on atv source with no luck..lol...guess everyone is over here....do you all think that the river will be up tomorrow??? and how do i get there from okc???
thanks,
-matt

 

Not sure how it will be Monday, but last week it was low enough for a little ol' 90 kids quad to cross at will.

Do you know how to get to Purcell?

 

i know how to drive down i35 and get near it???

 

also, is it all sand??? should i leave the paddles on or put the dirt tires back on?

 

I ride with dirt tires because most of the sand is fairly packed...But a lot of folks ride with paddles.


To get there:

From I-35 (Southbound) take the first Purcell Exit (exits to the left) and Proceed south on Green St. thru Purcell until you get to Washington St. (there will be a Carl's Jr on your right). Here you will turn left (east) on Washington St. and drive until you reach Canadian Ave. Turn right (South) go one block to a 4-way stop sign. Turn left (east) and proceed down the steep hill. The depot will be immediately in front of you.

You can either park there (do NOT park at the Depot, park just south of there in the grass...They'll tow you if you park at the depot) or depending on what you're driving, you can drive all the way down to the river and park where you ride. Most 2wd trucks do fine getting down there. 4wd trucks have zero issues getting all the way down to the river, even with a trailer.

To get all the way to the riverbottom, take a right at the train depot and go about 1/2 mile south and cross over the tracks (it's the only place you can cross, and it's pretty obvious) then go back north about a mile. About the time it looks like the road has ended, go another 100-150 yards, and turn right (east) through a gap in the trees...This will drop you on the river bed after about 50 yards.

 

It should be pretty low. I took my daughter on sat. with her 90 and we went about 15 miles down stream. Heck I even rode hers for a couple of miles while she rode the grizz.

hey if anyone is interested I have my 28inch outlaws up for sale they have about 4 hours on them... if you want them or know someone who would PM me a price and we'll go from there ...steel wheels and tires I gave 450 for the tires and 50 for the wells but will sell alot cheaper

 

wow, that was alot of fun...thanks for the directions...i think we maybe made it almost back to norman going north?? we got to some hills and a railroad bridge??? and what is the farm place with the blue tent going south??? is that rivermist??? we got there going south...well, almost, we saw it and had to go home....most fun i've had on the river yet....except my buddy was riding his banshee (second time out...first quad)....and hit a little 1-2ft bump and went over the bars pretty hard....back end jumped up and went over at about 40 or so.....he just never learned to jump...he's been riding streetbikes for awhile now, just never rode offroad....now he says he's not going to little sahara this weekend..lol...but other than that...great ride....

 

btw, here's a pic of the 440ex...banshee pics coming soon, the ex has a headlight in it now...say hi if you see me...i'll be out on a black and white banshee this weekend most likely wearing a shoei hot wheels helmet...

That was a great ride. Looking forward to doing it again soon.
