Merus Winter Adventure, December 2023

My friend Mike asked Chad and me if we’d like to join him for a few days at Merus Adventure Park. The plan was to meet up for breakfast in Warren, Oklahoma, then drive mostly two-lane highways to the off-road park in the Texas Panhandle. On the way, we’d stop at the Charles and Mary Ann Goodnight Ranch House, which is located right along our planned route to Merus.

Merus Adventure Park is located on 5500 acres in Palo Duro Canyon. It offers a wide variety of challenging trails, from easy to incredibly difficult (beyond what we were prepared to tackle). We would drive a few of the easy and intermediate trails, and walk one difficult trail, deciding we'd not drive it. We'd also camp two nights in two different sites. We were concerned about the weather and it was quite windy when we arrived. But contrary to the forecasts we'd seen, that eased up and the nights and mornings while cold, were reasonably tolerable.

The main theme music is "Covid Come Not Near" by Nat Keefe & Hot Buttered Rum. It is available in the YouTube Audio Library for free use in YouTube productions. Additional music includes "Dangerous" and "Corncob-Country" by Kevin MacLeod. "Dangerous" and "CornCob-Country" are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license.
