Well you can "Do Disney" as much as you like. I would say you CAN spend at
least a solid weekend with a group of 5-10 people playing on the various
rock formations and back in the wood trails area. We spent two solid days of
wheeling and did not get around to everything. We saw a good deal, but I
could handle a long holiday weekend up there. Poteau is not close enough to
hit from Disney in the same day. You could spend a day at each place and
such, but not by camping or staying in one town and wheeling in the other.
Each location offers plenty of wheeling for a solid weekend. You can include
the Heavner trails in the a Potuea weekend run and be busy all the time.

No real news on Clayton yet. The county is still working to obtain funds to
purchase the land from Georgia Pacific. We've (FWD-FWD as a club) offered a
set of guide lines (common sense type stuff) to help open the trails to use
while an organization can secure the funding to purchase the property. The
area being close, causes the local economies to suffer, thereby hurting
their means to secure money. It's a catch 22 for the Pushamatah area. They
need the land to be open for recreation (to generate tourism) to help raise
their share of the money to buy the land.

My pictures from this area are mild at best. The newer section of the Purple
Headed Monster is much "better" than what I helped originally clear. I was
able to take some single locker vehicles "down" this trail (with some
carnage), but they wouldn't have made it up. I tore up a ring and pinon that
weekend, but I was due to a worn out welded carrier. From the pictures, it
looks similar to Lost Creek when we opened that up.
