Oklahoma.....What ya got?

Nice ride, love the pictures.
However I have a couple of questions, first, is there a schedule for when the Qualls store/cafe is open? I've never been able to catch it open.
And I thought I heard that Bathtubs rocks road was closed?

Thanks Bill, it was a fun ride. Bathtub rocks, or deformed rocks as a nice lady we met on her dead end private driveway road called them is "closed" but the county road where the rocks are is open to public traffic. She told us whoever owns the actual property where the rocks are are not allowing people to access because of trash and graffiti. The road is open, no problem riding thru there.

Here is Jincys info. She got a new number. I tried her old number and it was disconnected so we took a chance.

I went through there again in February. I walked around and took pics anyway.

There's a similar feature just a couple miles south of there.

Got out for a little camping trip a couple of weeks ago.

Looks like Oklahoma has migrated to the Southwest. Post your OK pics, bikes, rides, ride reports, questions, get togethers here.

Ride reports in this thread or make a new one?

Here is fine I think. Not many people will see it though.

Mine are nothing epic, just local day rides. Probably only interesting to riders who live here. I've probably written 100 of them. They're primarily picture reports. I usually post them on a private site, then occasionally on some of the public ones. Not often on the other ADV site though. For some reason, it jacks with the format and I have to do too much editing.

I went riding with this guy Sunday. He hauls ass. What’s your excuse?

We spent the day riding around Keystone Lake and Skiatook Lake in northeastern Oklahoma looking for interesting things. We found a few.

We rode through several miles of the wildlife management area to get to this abandoned railroad bridge. We saw hundreds of deer. It was a poacher’s paradise.

A weird chapel next to a mostly forgotten cemetery. It looked to be tribal.

The bluffs at Bull Creek Peninsula on Skiatook Lake.

We followed a few of the lease roads that were open.

But we were thwarted by a locked gate on this powerline maintenance road.

No one was around, so we decided to ride up the hiking trail to the first bridge.

We didn’t ride across because about a 35' section of the ties were missing.

He got tangled up in the vines and I had to help him out.

I had no such problems.

We ended the ride by short-cutting through the woods to where the highway ran before the lake was built- still in better condition than some of our city streets.

It was a good day.

Looks like an epic day !

Anyone know why we're limited to 20 pics per post here? I have a nice but long ride report that it won't let me post. I even split it into two parts and it's still too big.

 

[Jay547]

It won't even let me post it in the official ride report section.

Go to Site Support and ask the question

 

[Jay547]

I got the answer - you have to be a paying member.

I would consider starting a thread in ride reports because i think you are wrong about the idea that only riders from Oklahoma would be interested. Maybe start a thread titled "Oklahoma Rides" in ride reports and then everyone from OK posts in that thread.

Just my 2 cents.

That's good to know.

Do the report in multiple posts.

 

[Jay547]

I posted in the ride reports section.

Just a reminder to the foreigners who read the Oklahoma thread, it may be 100° here but we have this and you don't:

 

[Jay547]

I've been riding to work nearly everyday the last few weeks because of the gas prices. Forecast of 100°+ all this week. I think I'll be back in the truck.
