Oklahoma Adventure Trail

Anyone done the south west part from Sayre to Mangum, Mangum to Mt Scott and Mt Scott to Sulphur Springs? Gonna be doing it this weekend with the wifey.
well how did it go?
 
Bump for anyone that's done this in the past year. Thinking about doing part of the NE section this weekend.
Some guys from the Toyota group and I did the SouthWest portion of this last weekend. It was dusty but fun, with one nighttime river crossing... about 380 miles in one day. If you're doing any other portions in the next few weeks, let me know. I'd like to do another section this month

I know one OB'er thats doing the section west of 35 and plans to do a trip report when he gets back. He told me last night that the river crossing in the altus wildlife area is a no go. About 4' plus big drop off going in.

I know one OB'er thats doing the section east of 35 and plans to do a trip report when he gets back. He told me last night that the river crossing in the altus wildlife area is a no go. About 4' plus big drop off going in.
Thanks guys. I appreciate it. If you guys are looking for a good drive, I did a day trip around Tahlequah last weekend and it was beautiful. There's miles of good driving east of the Illinois river. Ton of little streams and small water crossings. A couple hiking trails in the Nature Preserve as well.

Yes that's true, they even have the road completely blocked, you can't get to it. the updated GPX has a drive-around that one

Thanks for sharing! Any advice on the southwestern section around Wichita Mountains National Refuge? We're in a '97 Lexus LX. We're very new to overlanding and I feel a little apprehensive about doing an overnight trip, but we're dying to get away during all of this "quarantine" business. It's the perfect excuse to embark on our second official overland adventure.
Also, is it pretty easy to find a spot to camp overnight around there without getting gruff from law officials during this?

You might also check with @ryanorr280 He just did that section.
 
So I was manually inputting the route into Gaia and after an hour and a half the app crashed and I lost everything :rage: This is my first time using the app so I'm making this harder than it should be, I hope .Can anyone point me in the right direction to just download the route straight to the app so I can save it?

What are you trying to download it to? When I tried to download it to my ipad 1st gen it wouldnt work. But it uploaded in a matter of seconds to my ipad 4. I down loaded straight from the advrider website.

Bro, I didnt even download it. I was painstakingly doing it by hand :tearsofjoy: I'll try to download it on my new iphone and I'll report back. Thanks for the quick response.

Edit:

You're a hero and you didnt even have to break a sweat! Got it downloaded in Gaia

FYI, I drove part of the Great Salt Plains to Perry section yesterday. There is a spot that I was not going to attempt by myself ,marked on the map. Not knowing how else to update the map I added a way point with pics and a note.

I can't remeber if they have the "Clayton Trail" on there or not anymore. It's been bulldozed at the Clayton trail and K Trail intersection by the company putting in the wind farm in the area. They shoved a huge tangle of trees down onto the trail making it impassible. Supposedly the road has been "closed" for a long time but there's no signage or anything (the last time I was out there) to indicate that.
