Kinta Dry Run, Sep 12
12/12/12 Edit: It has come to my attention that the land shown in these pictures has been auctioned off and is now all privately held. Out of respect to the property owners, I discourage everyone from venturing into this area. I am told that the landowners will be putting up various blockades, so it would likely be pointless to attempt a trip anyway.
Went on a dry run for a trip in a few weeks for a larger group. Objectives were to verify some trails in the San Bois Mountains near Kinton, OK. We had several points identified on Google Earth to visit that might provide both interesting trails and places to camp. In the end, we found a nice place to camp, and one of two lakes that we sought. The area is rife with gas wells, so many of the access routes are blocked off by gates. Still, great weekend, (though there was nothing dry about it!), with challenging trails, plenty of winching action (lost count of how many times), and great camaraderie. Here are a few pics (more on my public FB page here ... facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.3986974753699.2150505.1260697505&type=1&l=3 aeec3b872)

YouTube video of a small part of our trip to the San Bois Mountains this past weekend. I will be making a longer video, but won't include all of this one in it (just some of it). This doesn't include the rain and mud and winching from the day before.
