I think they will be harvesting the corn soon.
Cool clouds.

Out for a little toodle around close to town.
Saturday morning, I rode out to the annual Will Rogers Fly In. It is held every August at the ranch in Oologah, Oklahoma, where Rogers was born. About 100 planes show up to the grass field. It's cool because you can walk out into the field, look at the planes, and talk to the pilots. You can even stand right next to the runway as they take off and land. They also have craft sales, a car show, a classic camper show, food trucks, etc. I've been several times.
Bikes get VIP parking, next to the ranch house. Mine's the FJ-09. Cages have to park in the pasture.
After the air show, I rode out to the crashed space capsule at Winganon, OK.

Looks like fun.
August 27th, Arkansawyer Mark and I had a good ride in his part of the country. We rode Pannell, Old 12 Crossroads, Warloop (both directions), Hurricane Creek, White Rock Mountain, Shores Lake, Rackley Mountain, and Kimes Tower (I had to list all those cool road names.) We ran into a few road closures that we managed to find a way through, rather than backtracking. Those sections were quite a challenge and somewhat exhausting, not something I would do if riding alone. 134 miles total and the weather was excellent.
We met at the Natural Dam Community Center. An old WPA school.
Pannell Road. This was the toughest of the longer stretches of road.
White Rock Mountain.
This one was washed out.
Mark looking for a line through it - couldn't find a suitable one.
We ended up riding up the side of the mountain and around the wash out. It took us about twenty minutes of scouting routes, moving rocks and logs, and breaking off saplings to make a line. It saved us probably 20+ miles of backtracking though.
Made it!
A neat little forest road bridge.
This one was a mudslide.
This time, we went down the mountainside, past the slide, and back up. Mark is eye-balling a way down.
This tree was the last obstacle of the slide. We were able to squeeze under it.
Bee Rock.
Me in Bee Rock.
Back on the road.
This guy took his half of the road and most of ours. We were happy to share.
Back down Warloop Road. Won't see any logging trucks here.
Lee Creek crossing. This was the lowest I've ever seen it. I've been here six times now. Three of those times, it was too deep to cross.
It turned out to be a really fun day.

Saturday, September 17th, I did a ride around the Ft. Gibson and Arkansas River area of northeastern Oklahoma and down to Lake Tenkiller.
The Arkansas just south of Ft. Gibson.
Manard Bayou.
The bypassed Manard Bayou Bridge.
Gruber ORV Area and the Arkansas River Overlook. The last time I rode trails here, I was 27 years old. I hated the rocks so much that I swore I would never ride here again. I just broke my promise, I'm 63 now.
Bypassed and abandoned Old OK Highway 10.

The Walker Branch iron bridge. Built in 1929.
Another bypassed bridge on Manard Bayou.
The washed-out low water crossing on Greenleaf Creek.
And the washed-out culvert on Indian Road.
The lake is down and I found this cool, natural rock slab that is normally submerged.

Lake Tenkiller.
Goose tracks.
Just in case of emergency.
Fishing trail.
Just cruising along, I noticed this old, bypassed bridge off in the woods. It's a 1940 WPA bridge. I like finding this kind of stuff.
I found another rock slab just beyond the replacement bridge.
The former road to the WPA bridge.
An elk. I don’t often see these around here.
An old, wooden cabin. The tiny house of yesteryear.
I got in 111 miles on this 91° day.

I don't really know. The army built a big military post a few miles south in 1942. I would guess they replaced the highway then to make it suitable for large truck/military traffic. The old highway is/was very narrow and snaked around and up the side of a small mountain.
A little searching reveals the original road was added to the state highway system in 1924.

Out for a ride around Charlotte County NB today. Met up with Bill on his Katana (he’s had since’84) and Tim with the Sprint ST he picked up this summer. Later on, Gary was out on his DR. Just like old times! 🙂

I knew some of it looked familiar and when you said Warloop road I knew for sure. That was/is part of the TAT I rode many moons ago. Is Warloop still a rock strewn, nosedive, OMG, road or has it been fixed a bit??August 27th, Arkansawyer Mark and I had a good ride in his part of the country.

They have signs up now saying "dead end" but it's still open. Someone has done some minor work on it recently and it is slightly improved. Very slightly.I knew some of it looked familiar and when you said Warloop road I knew for sure. That was/is part of the TAT I rode many moons ago.

Warloop, December 2021:
Balmy 46f on the commute into work today. Really gotta mount the Moose foam ears.
