"Is everyone invited on this trip?"

Yes

Where is disney OK?

1 hour northeast of Tulsa,OK hogansoffroad.com

is there camping availible?

I think jack has offered his place, And there is also Hogans (see above link)

What are the trails like? rock, mud, water? will an almost stock rig be able to do the trails?

I think they have all types of terrain, But the draw is the rocks, I think...

will an almost stock rig be able to do the trails?

I sure hope so... I have an 08 rubicon Unlimited with a 2" BB

sorry for all the questions but I am always looking for new trails/people.

Same here!

I really would like to go but I doubt I can afford the trip. I am a full time college student so I count every penny and gas is horrible. Disney is 317 miles from Texarkana (where I live). How much advance notice do you guys need? how much does it cost to get into the park? thanks

The wheeling is free. Come on up and have some fun. It would be good to meet you and we are a good bunch of Jeepers.

Here are pic's from the December JK-Forum run at Disney. I (actually my son mostly drove) did that before my lift and with stock tires.

I'll be there that entire week - or at least that's my plan at this point. (June 28-29 through July 5-6)

Depending on whats going on that week I might be interested in going to SMORR that week sometime as well. Like Jeff said, I'll have to wait and see as we get closer.

Yep..plenty of swimming areas on the beach or off my dock or at the state park or in the river or....well you get the idea. Plenty of places to launch boats/watercraft if you want to do that as well.

Of course...I have a feeling a bonfire will be in order.

Yes, everyone is invited.

Yes, camping/lodging is available at a number of places. Hogans, the state park down the street, or (depending on how many) my lawn.
There are also several area hotels/motels. Their rates are usually reasonable.

Mostly rock in the river area. Heavy forest on the trails.

Almost stock will be just fine. Some things you may not want to do, but theres plenty of fun to be had still.

I called Hogans, And reserved a Trailer, Which is $50/night, And we are arriving Friday around noon or before and staying till afternoon sunday.

NightStalker and i are going to split costs on this.

IMO, After a hard day at play, Relaxing in the nice cold A/C will be in order!

They have a few Motorhomes and trailers still available, But they are not going to last long!

I asked the lady on the phone today about camping, And she said that people camp by the trailers also.

I am brainstorming here: (insert sound of gears grinding)

If there are going to be more pansies like me, Who like the A/C, We can set up base camp with a few tents around the trailers, Which will have the necessities for cooking ect.

I am also considering trailering the street bikes down to explore the area and take a break from the trails.

Everything is still up in the air, But this is what i am thinking at this moment!

Yeah I wouldn't worry about camping. If you're camping, we'll find a place for you. There's plenty of spots all within a mile.

If it wasn't July 4th weekend I could probably put several of you up, but since it is July 4th..no dice.
