Austin and Houston are too, and last 2 years they got snow and we didn't get anything. I hope you get some snow too. Ive given up hope, I plan to travel to the snow at some point this winter. Im thinking of maybe going to angel fire if I get a chance.

I wish we had snow. Here in North Texas we used to get at least one decent snow every winter and now we have been in a 4 year snow drought. I have no hope for any snow or ice this winter.

Thanks. Most the trails in my area close at sunset. There are a couple that stay open but they are a bit of a drive for an after work ride. We also have all our trails close when it rains. I am taking a half day at work to get an afternoon ride is due to the rain coming tomorrow and Friday.

This is a cool thread. I just started mountain biking back in June. After I decided that I wanted to stick with it I upgraded my Diamondback Overdrive hardtail to a Trek Fuel EX7. I love the bike and I try to ride every weekend. I was riding everyday but now I cant due to it being dark when I...

I have no experience with tire chains. I have driven many times in snow and ice in the past but never got to the point I needed tire chains. This year I have planned a couple of trips into the mountains to snow mobile and ski. I want to be prepared so I am looking at buying 2 sets of chains. My...

My favorite form of camp entertainment is an R/C car. I have a traxxas TRX-4 that I bought specifically for camping. It is perfect for this since it is slow enough that breaking is not a concern and the battery life is much better than other types of R/Cs.

Can anyone point me to some good threads about Robbers Cave. Ive done some searching online and havn't found much information. I would like to check it out eventually but I want to have a little more info on it first.

I am interested in moving in a few years. I had Ashville, NC on my list and Tuscon. After hearing how crowded it is in the national forests in NC it makes me rethink that as a destination. YOu mention big bend ont being crowded, was it very remote and secluded out in the Tuscon area? Being able...

Im glad it looks like memorial day weather should be good for us int the north texas and oklahoma areas. I hope there isn't too much residual flooding in southern oklahoma from all the storms over last weekend. I was driving through nothern oklahoma on hwy 69 on Monday and many of the rivers I...

I like Gaia gps. it is a good mapping app but it will cost you. I also like this: Forest Service Visitor Map it is a free site put out by the national forest service, unfortunately it is only good for forest service lands.

When people ask about what is needed for offroading and camping I always recommend the bare minimum. Then take it out in a simple area and try it out to see what works best for them and what they need to add. Texas is full of mall crawlers. They are usually lifted 2wd vehicles with mud tires...

I am so sick of the rain too. We have that black clay and when it gets wet it stays wet and sticky for a long time. Our dirt has only dried up 3 times since last September. I am also tired of people saying we need the rain. Good news is it looks like the rain will stop before memorial day...

What is everyone planning for memorial day weekend?

Breifly to the Mena area, but that trip got cut short by a massive rain storm. I ran part of the K-Trail in the ouachitas and I have been to the part of the ouachitas around Broken Bow. Everytime I have been there I have seen a ton of trails to run that I didn't have time to do. When I was in...

Great thread! Ive been to both forests. I think I like the Ouachitas better so far. Planning on going up to camp over memorial day weekend in the Ouachita national forest.

I don't have any suggestions as I have not been there more than once. But I ussually use Google maps, gaia gps, and this website for planning offroad/camping trips on National forest lands.

Seeing your pictures really make me miss living in Nevada. Great thread!

Im fairly new too. I am also from Collin county.

In the past I have bought them at an OHV park and at a powersports dealer. I have never bought one online. I wish Texas would have more places to offroad. I don't plan on buying another I do all my offroading out of state now. Specifically Oklahoma and Arkansas like you mentioned.

The K-Trail November 2018.
