Well got to take my Trooper on her maiden voyage last weekend. Nothing big, but new to me. Excited for the future. As I understand it, the route we took is legal. If not, I had no intention of otherwise.
Hope you enjoy.
K-Trail Report and Pictures: Started at Clayton Trail - End Ouachita National Forest Three Sticks Monument, 39 Miles - 7ish hours driving.
I will not post all pictures in here, you are more than welcome to go to my photobucket for more! http://s12.photobucket.com/albums/a233/shaneb0422/K-Trail/
First time packin' the Troopster for anything was much better than car camping with the Prelude! We had no idea how long we would stay out so we packed for whatever:
Recovery Gear, Shotgun and Cheez-Its easy to get to:
Apparently in Clayton, OK there is no overflow shutoff on the Gas Nozzles, good thing I didn't walk in the store like I was about to do:
Finally got there:
First Technical part!
So much better than North Texas views:
Some Flex for the Zoo:
We thought we would make it before dark to the Tower for camping, doesn't look promising, but Beautiful:
Uh oh, it's dark:
After 2 hours of night driving, we made it to our intended camp site at K-Trail Fire tower. Ate, sat up camp, then came the thunder and lightening, along with it hard rain, fog and low temps. Looks like were sleepin' in the trooper. Re-pack time.
We woke up to this weather!
I might be stealing the Zombie attacked trooper idea from another member on here:
Looks like we have two more hours of driving in this:
But we made it!
On the way back down to DFW we found this little place - so naturally we had to go exploring:
Turned out to be a long trail of forestry and CO roads...nice scenic drive:
Clearly back in DFW blah - but check out the Texas Sky - can't beat it. Nice little stop at Bass Pro on the way and were home:
Also, the trail was less than trimmed back in places, we brought gear to do maintenance on it, but it just became too much, would have been there days, so I got some pin striping. Well, a lot. So out came the buffer when I got home.
It was a blast, plan to go back soon, if anyone in the south-central wants to, come on!
