If you have never heard of Poteau, Oklahoma, you probably would not know that the town is the home of the tallest hill in the United States and some pretty rough 'wheeling. During the Memorial Day weekend festivities in Clayton, many four-wheelers find their way over to Poteau for more serious 'wheeling. Look for Vaughn's four-star CJ at the Black Angus Motel.
