Default Mr. Frieling's, Clayton, OK

A local club wheeled Mr. Frieling's near Clayton, OK this past weekend, and a few of us from JK-Forum tagged along (JackMac4, Vamp1re, Interceptor_1972 and yours truly). Here are some pic's (if you want a link to the originals on the Walgreen's website, PM your e-mail address to me) ...












Everyone would need to be winched up this hill ...



















In the early afternoon, Interceptor and I left the rest of them to continue on the trails at Frieling's, and we headed off to drive nearby Talimena Skyline Drive ...

Great shots as usual Mark! Glad we finally checked that place out - it'll be visited again for sure.

Great shots Mark!!! Sent you a pm for links to the originals.

Here are some of the ones we took; just posting a few. The entire 150+ pics are on my photobucket album:

h**p://s835.photobucket.com/albums/zz278/19interceptor72/Clayton%20Frielings%20-%20October%2017th/
Sunrise on the drive to Clayton/Frieling's


Our first tough spot where this JK got a couple of new dimples


Jack going through the same spot


Mark further up the hill


VAMP1RE navigating around a large rock a few feet down


Jack to the rescue when a club member slid off the trail towards a tree. First winch up of the day!!


Puckers Sluice!!! They tried sooooooooooo hard to get Jack to attempt this



Waiting on the others to winch up a hill


This is the hill Mark was referring to where everyone needed to be winched up. Rain sure makes a mess of the trails!





And no, the camera wasn't tilted!



VAMP1RE almost made it on his own, but ended up bending his rock ring and popping a bolt!



A view from the top of the winching action


The worst I managed was a few natural pinstriping There's more on the other side that don't necessarily match



A few poser pics before continuing on the trail




Stopping to check on another group that sliced their hose when attempting to climb that rock




A few parting shots before Mark and myself parted ways with the group to continue on a ride on the Telhelmina Scenic Bypass.



A parting view from the Frieling's ORV before heading out


While I definitely didn't anticipate attempting some of the trails we were on, it was an awesome trip nonetheless and would definitely be more enjoyable once I get my JK more trail ready. Lack of armor and reinforcements [gussets, skids, bumpers, winch, etc.] had me worried through much of the trails thinking I might break something. Definitely be revisiting the place again - would recommend making this a 3 or 4 day trip with some camping and a couple of groups.

If anyone wants higher resolution pics, feel free to pm me. More pics in the photobucket album listed above. Enjoy!

If I'd known I was supposed to be posing, I'd have sucked in my gut!

Nice pic's, thanks for a great time, Manoj, Jack and Taylor!

Hey Mark said it not me! But I concur! Slim and fatty were a fun gang - I can't wait to wheel with those guys again.
