Burris Valley recon ride - Rugged Mountain Ranch - PIC HEAVY

[patman]

Took a quick trip to Oklahoma to check out Rugged Mountain Ranch after seeing it featured in the 24 Hell and Back YouTube series. A little hot, but this place is epic. 36 named trails, and 24 of them are labeled as "buggy". I would not drive out here without stickies and built axles. The rocks are huge and the ledges are even bigger, and the water depth is over the tires in some places on the Tacket Creek trail (the trail featured in the  24 Hell and Back video, and the scene of an annual timed race)

Edit- it will be pic-heavy, after I get back to civilization. There is no cell service, and our lodge wifi is slow

This place is awesome, and I will be going back for round two at some point. If you're wondering where my buggy is, it was on the trailer at camp. Never got it backed off after it started dumping trans fluid on the trailer on initial startup Wednesday morning. The closest town is 1 hour away, and a new seal (my seal was new two days before the trip) was 24 hours out, and there's no guarantee the new seal would be different than the seal I already had that wasn't doing the job. I decided to take pics and be a passenger instead of losing a whole day for something that wasn't a sure shot.

I hoped for nice dry heat since we were out "west" but it turned out to be more hot and humid than GA. The park was empty accept for 6 other vehicles, and go figure 2 of them were people I knew from GA. The wheeling world seems small sometimes haha.
