Pics from Poteau OK
« on: 12/ 2/06 - 02:23AM »
A few of us went to Poteau OK, just southwest of Fort Smith AR over the Thanksgiving weekend.  Here are a few pictures that I was able to get ahold of, maybe someone else will post up a few more.  According to the sign at the top, Cavanal hill is the tallest hill in the world, standing 1,999'.  I guess at 2,000' it would be concidered a mountain, either way, it was up there!

Hell of a view, and I bet it was one steep climb to get up there.

Those are some awsome pics.  
Are all the trails that hard, or are there easier trails?  
Are there a "lot" of trails, or just a few?

Brian has a video he is working on getting off of his camera and onto his computer, I will see if one of us can get it hosted somewhere.

The trails are not all that hard there are just some good obstacles here and there, but the obstacles are pretty hard.

I like the one where Ritchie is spotting Brandon and Brandon's not looking... he makes it up anyway and Ritchie just throws his hands up.
I'd put something funny here, but you probably wouldn't get it anyway...
