This morning I went South on 77 from Norman, Oklahoma to Purcell. I pulled off and doubled-back to take a picture of an interesting lawn ornament (see below). While riding on a bridge over the Canadian River (in between Lexington and Purcell) I noticed the shores on both sides were definitely ATV trails. I rode to the top of a scenic overlook in Purcell and talked to an old lady for some time. I asked her if she knew where I might be able to access the trails and she suggested turning right just after the bridge on the other side. That is how I found Sundog Trails OHV park.
I had the pleasure of meeting the staff at Sundog, paid my fee and explored the trails. There is a lot of sand, next to the river and a mixture of sand and mud throughout. I almost dropped it a few times, got stuck on a hill etc... There is a nice section with some decent whoops (is that what they call them?). I had a video camera mounted to my crash bars, which turned out to be a tad too close to my 650cc thumper's engine. Probably not worth editing the raw video, unless there's a rainy day with nothing to watch on television. I shall return next week.
