High unemployment numbers, high fuel cost, unstable economy, all could point to a smaller turn outs for recreational activities. Well it sure wasn’t the case with the turn out at the 2013 Big Meat Run in Disney, Ok. on the March 16th/ 17th weekend. As Thursday rolled around it was evident that this year was going to be a stellar turn out for the long time running Big Meat Run in N. E. Oklahoma. As the Austin Clan pulled into Green Country Christian Camp it was evident ... more> |
It seems like just the other day when I heard of a small little Jeep group forming in and around Yukon and the greater Oklahoma City area.

Karena Nichols took the lead and we hit the road headed to the Pink Pistol in Tishomingo, Ok., which was Miranda Lambert’s gift shop.

So back on the road we go and ... more>

Ever watch those You Tube video’s of jeeps rolling and flopping, creating what is referred to in the sport as a “YARD SALE”. You know, coolers, drinks, tools, food, pets, scattered down a hillside. When you look at those rigs, and when you look in the back of many of our rigs, most of the gear is secured with elastic straps, commonly referred to as bungee cords. What a lot of folks figure out, especially with any heavy gear, is that bungee cords don’t really “secure” anything. They are really better at ... more> |
