McAlester to Clayton dual sport loop

James Pratt December 7, 2014

Here is a nice easy dual sport ride from McAlester down to one of our favorite places, Clayton, Oklahoma. Grab lunch at a cafe just southeast of town (skip the Kiamichi Kitchen) or at Simple Simon’s Pizza in town, then take a different route back home to McAlester. If you are looking to camp overnight, be sure and stay at Clayton Lake State Park. As soon as you turn off into the park, make an immediate left down to the lower campgrounds – stay just east of the ranger station, going downhill. Great camping and good pay showers. This is one of our favorite campgrounds in the USA.

Great motorcycle camping is available at Clayton Lake State Park, 5 miles southeast of Clayton.

Trouble in Terlingua

Three intrepid Oklahoma dual sport riders and a friend from Kansas head to Terlingua in the winter to explore Big Bend National Park. Trouble awaits the unwary crew after a rare rainstorm turns the normally dry desert into sticky mud that burns clutches and strands our riders overnight in the freezing desert.
