Bob,

I, too, am still alive.

I thought I was the only one that had a helmet that made me LOOK fat

got a phone call today........... My 650 Prairie that was stolen on 11/20/2003 has been recovered! The officer who found it said it looks like new. I will make the drive to EL Paso, Tx soon and recover my wheeler that has been gone for 3 1/2 years. See, these things do show up.......

 

Congratulations on the recovery of your quad!!
When they get through slapping the wrist of the guy they got it from, kick him in the nuts for me!

Thanks Jason, I was thinking of a little more than a kick in the Nuts. I figured I would have "Nut" grill ornament for the wheeler!

 

now of course you know, that good buddies like me would love to let his wife use your "new found wheeler" so you could always store it at my house! heck I'll even put insurance on it! lol

 

Well Bob, good friend of mine..... Are you willing to drive to El Paso to pick it up? Its 11 hours each way!! Almost as bad as the Kentucky 2 day trip, maybe worse because there is nothing out in the dessert driving to El Paso.

 

So, what's the deal at Rivermist? Are they letting us park on the north side of the bridge, or not at all???
Ronnie (or anybody), you got any info???

Where is this Rivermist you speak of? Where can I get details?

Hiya Batman,
The Rivermist is an entry point onto the South Canadian River that is located about 20 miles south of Seminole, OK on Hwy 99.

For several years, many of us have gained access to the river by using a service road that led to a parking area under the bridge. However, Hwy 99 is now being widened into a 4-lane Hwy and that access road has been cut off and we can no longer park under the bridge, unload our ATVs and access the river from that point.

And, it has been brought to our attention that "all" access to the river at Rivermist may be removed. And although the access under the bridge has been removed, I'm trying to find out if we can still park on the north side of the bridge and access the river from there or if all access to riding the river from there has been cut off.

I hope one day you get to ride the South Canadian from the Rivermist. That area is totally different from any other area that I've ridded on the South Canadian. It's really cool because the landowners adjacent to the river in that area have set up their own RV parks, hold poker runs and have all kinds of spurr-of-the-moment events like midnight rides and fourth-of-July fireworks shows. And of course, it's all free - just bring your own beer and lawn chair, tent, ect... It's my favorite place to ride in the whole world, but since I moved away from there, I'm trying to find out whether there is still public access or if I need to enter the river on one of my friend's properties.

James,
As of right now you can take a chance and park on the road and ride off the side of the embankment. If you get caught it is costly. Hasn't stopped some yet. Rumor has it that the state is going to put up concrete barriers from the bridge railing to the fences.

On the north side you can still park as of now. The river is bank to bank and the channel is on the north side as usual.

Rumor has it that by the end of May the only access is going to be by private land only.
