I wonder if they found the route here or through someone that has done the East Texas 450 rides here?
Just the nature of the beast being in Texas. That's why I go to Oklahoma and Arkansas. "Overlanding" in Texas is just driving on dirt roads between 2 fences. If you look at the TEAT (Texas Epic Adventure Trail) the northern part is the entire eastern side of the Oklahoma Adventure Trail (OAT) lol.
Fixed it for you, sad but true."Adventure Riding" in Texas is just driving on dirt roads between 2 fences.
I almost forgot what page I was on lol. Sigh. Been too long since I've riden.Fixed it for you, sad but true.
Yes it has.I almost forgot what page I was on lol. Sigh. Been too long since I've riden.
I had that same thought! I want to explore and meander back roads as long as possible. I know I'm not gonna be able to lift and move around the weight of the bikes forever.Yep, same here. We like to do light off roading such as the ET450, BBNP, Ouachita/Ozark forests, etc. Great scenery and nice camping/hoteling areas too. Sometimes, we'll throw the dirt bikes in the back and do some exploring from camp too. I guess it's a nice evolution from dual sporting as we get a bit older. I imagine one day this forum will ripen enough to become the "Four Wheeled Texans", LOL.
That is cool. It is just neat to see something that had its genesis here years ago end up going out into the rest of the world to be enjoyed.Have not driven it myself but here is a Google Map
that someone created: East Texas 450
Some of them may be the same because they get out to the Davy Crockett NF area. I used to plan routes around cemeteries as well. My OLD US topo maps from around 2002 or so had a little blue dot on them for every cemetery, and they were EVERYWHERE! I would create routes by connecting the dots and stopping to visit the cemeteries. They were often very remote, small with maybe a family or two in them, and I even got chased away a few times. Some were hard to find. I even led a DS cemetery ride once where I led a small group to visit a bunch of cool little cemeteries that were off the beaten paths. It was a lot of fun!Well here's another video. This guy calls his the Cemetary Loop. Looks like decent route for bike or 4wheels. @Tourmeister if you happen to watch any of this or pull up this route, I'm wondering if any of these roads or on the route I did with you and @my6 a few years ago?
