Just throwing this up here in case anyone is looking to wheel somewhere different. We will be going back to Disney, OK for the 2016 Craw 4 Christ event. If you are interested in wheeling some place different, this is the trip. This event draws everything from stock jeeps to buggies. Disney, OK is very different than any of the parks we typically go to. You will not find a wheeling area with more traction. Even boggers hook up like stickies here. Plenty of places to swim while wheeling to keep cool from the heat. This is a great event to bring the kids out to, as they offer events for them as well. The Austin family put this event on every year, and enough can't be said of how awesome Dave and his family are. Disney, OK also puts on an amazing firework display that you can drive out on the rocks and watch. (Or walk to the dam and park area). Disney is very wheeler friendly, as this is where the revenue comes from. It is a very small town and they have paths beside the main road so you can drive even your non street legal rig to the gas station, burger joint, etc. We always have a great time on this trip, and there is always an amazing group of people there from around the country. We are leaving out on June 30th, and taking our time and staying the night in springdale. That is the last decent size city on the way. We plan on arriving in Disney on Friday that morning sometime. Probably leave out on Sun. 3rd. I believe the Fireworks are on Saturday the 2nd. If you drive straight it isnt that bad, about 6 1/2 hous or so.

We made it back, and it was alot of fun as usual. Didn't really break anything this time. Bent some sheet metal, scarred some tube, and put a small dent in a piece of DOM. I lost one of the front brake caliper retainers shortly after getting there, and ended up having to run off one caliper. By the time we left, the brakes were worthless, wich made things interesting at times. We ended up coming home today, instead of tomorrow as we had planned because we woke up to rain and storms, and they were calling for severe storms this evening. Not alot to do in Disney, OK in the rain, sitting in a room with no TV, no phone signal, and with a 9yr old daughter. You can only play the claw game at PJs Cafe and game room so many times (and by game room, that means 5 games, with 3 of them being Claw games. And I've watched Storm Chasers in OK before, so yeah, we came home. Here are a few random pictures that I took.

Sign on the 1 gas station in town (which does not sell diesel). Great sign.
