Dre's Photo's Oklahoma Run 7-5-08

On Saturday, 7-05-08, Andre & John, friends of Russ, drove their Harley's up to Wichita Falls, Texas from Forth Worth, Texas. Russ put together a ride to Chaps My Ass, Medicine Park & Mt. Scott, all up in Oklahoma. Several folks were invited and we all went & had a good time. Andre or "Dre" as we call him, sent me his pictures of that day & has given me permission to use them on this post & blog. So, scroll on down and enjoy Dre's pictures of that ride.

This is Dre before, as Dre puts it, Russ got hold of him & made him do away with the dread locks..No problem, mon !...


This is Dre & John prior to heading up to Wichita Falls Texas..Dre, John & Russ are all pilots, in addition to bikers...Cool!!


Another view of Dre & John on their Harleys..


Dre at a gas stop..Gas prices really suck for these bikes as they use premium. Mine uses regular & that's bad enough..


Dre & his Harley..Good looking bike, Dre....

Getting up to Medicine Park Oklahoma, our first stop was at Chaps My Ass, one of the more popular motorcycle accessories & apparel shops in the North Texas & Southern Oklahoma Areas. http://www.chapsmyass.com/ Here are Dre & Russ, enjoying themselves in the parking lot of Chaps My Ass.

The next place we went was to the Old Plantation Cafe in Medicine Park, Here are: Me, Russ & John and Dre out front.



This is our table at the Old Plantation..We were split up into two groups.. Seated at the head of the table is Steve, and going down the wall side is Robert, Russ, Linda, Mike, Robbie, Keri & John at the far end. Back up by Steve going down the outside are: Debra, Kevin, David, Alyssa, Alan, the waitress & I think Janice.

Group of us at the bar shot. From Left to Right: Robert, Mike, Dre, me, John, David,Russ & Linda..


Dre abusing David at the Old Plantation Cafe..David doesn't seem to mind & he & Dre got along great. Dre has that kind of personality that draws people to him and is easy to make friends with..I will put it like this, if you meet Dre & don't instantly like him, it's you with the problem, not Dre.


Prior to leaving the Old Plantation Cafe, the entire group gets it picture made. When we left, half the group split for Texas and the other half went up to Mt. Scott, in the Wichita Mountain Wildlife Refuge & Recreation area. This area is just north of Ft. Sill which is located at Lawton Oklahoma. Pictured are: Left to right Bottom: Russ, Dre, Mike & John. Upper front: Debra, Alyssa, Alan, Sissy. Steve, Pattie & Robbie. Back row: Kevin, Jim,David, Robert, Linda, Janice & Lance. I missed out cause I was still inside getting a cup of ice for Janice..



L to R Bottom: Russ, Dre, Mike & John. Front Row top L to R: Debra, Alyssa, Alan, Sissy, Steve, Pattie & Robbie. Back row L to R: Kevin, Jim, David, Robert Linda, Janice & Lance. Robert is currently in the hospital here in Wichita falls Texas with pneumonia & is not doing well. All of you in the States & worldwide that view this blog, please keep Robert in your prayers. He is a good guy & he & his wife, Janis, ride with us all the time & are good friends..You can see them in several of the rides & events on several of the posts in this blog..Thank you for your prayers..

Here we are at the falls in Medicine Park Oklahoma. L to R: Alan, Me, John, Dre & David..Russ is on the tree limb. If I would've tried to get up there with him, I would've snapped the limb & we would've gone for a refreshing swim...

Next we went to Mt.Scott, a popular place for the folks around North Texas & Southern Oklahoma, to go for a scenic view. A VERY popular place with bikers also.


Some of our bikes up on Mt. Scott.


Dre & John topside. See what I mean about the view?


Jim finds a cool, shady spot & gets comfortable on the rocks atop of Mt. Scott, in the Wichita Mountains


Dre got this great view to the South...


Another view to the SouthWest from Mt. Scott. You can also "mountain goat" the rocks if you want. Lots of folks do it & I don't think there has been any fatalities lately with folks falling off the mountain...


On the ride back to Wichita Falls, I believe this last picture was taken at Dre's parents house. They live in Wichita Falls.

That will do it for this post. I want to thank Dre for the pictures & permission to use them on this site. Dre takes almost as many pictures as I do & if you are interested in viewing more of his pictures, contact me & I will have him get hold of you. As a matter of fact, it was on this ride that I got my nickname, Snapshot, bestowed upon me by the group..

I look forward to riding with Dre & John again and I am proud to call them my friends. So, until next ride/event & post, be careful out there, ride safe and keep the rubber on the road..................JOHN aka "Snapshot"
