He's great guy with great trail ediquet, and a super heep (now know as the service truck). On one hill there was a group of Cherokees from the JU board who put one of thier jeeps on it's side. notcrazyjustNuTz runs up after it was clear and put his jeep on it's side. Then he throws it in reverse and backs up, standing it back up on it's tires. We all about chit out pants :eek: .

No Problem, notcrazyjustNuTz just pulls out his DC wire feed welder and welds it back on :smokin:

No, sorry it's a yota

gotta love TSF!!! what trails were those on?

Had a great time, lots of good wheelin' and some carnage :smokin: Norm and his son Josh were good to wheel with, nice folks. Had hoped to meet more of you OR/WA people, but definately your loss :D :flipoff2: We checked out Hogsback and Firebreak five but found deep snow part way up both (sick of snow right now after this winter) so we ran Archers on Saturday and Sunday. Archers has some gnarly sections right now with all the slimy mud.

TJ Chick :flipoff2: FAWK! There goes the neighborhood..... :flipoff2: Walker Valley is up there..... ;)

Anyone know what Cedar Creek trail :confused: is now called? I can't find it on my TSF map. Thanks.:usa:

Great pics! Looks like y'all had a grand time. Do any of you run with the Brush Busters 4 wheel drive club up there?

I do occasionally, several friends are in that club.

My BIL, Matt O'Brien, is a member. Drives a 79 CJ5.

RR3

Just go and post my name for the whole world to see ;)

Drag your arse up here so I can take ya wheelin in TSF. I'll be up there this Sat dragging old cars and washing machines, etc. out of the forest for the annual SOLV TSF cleanup.

Then off to do some wheelin in the afternoon.

Now you're really somebody. Remember how happy you were when your name was posted in the phone book?

Next time you send me pics of your Jeep, they better not be driveway shots, Poser! :flipoff2:

I just got the new wheels and tires on...haven't had a chance to get out yet.

for those not in the know, here's what I sent my BIL...rest assured it will be seen on the rocks in TSF this weekend.

http://img.groundspeak.com/cache/140_1100.jpg

nice trails, i wish we had sum like that around south louisiana, we have to drive for half a day to get anything even close to that

Here's a shot from the TSF today. We didn't run the trails much at all. We were there for the annual SOLV-IT trash removal. As usual, we *far* outnumbered the greenies (I just love seeing their faces when they know the off-roaders put them to shame with regards to how much work we do on our forests/trails) and we hauled out a few tons of garbage, including old washers, refridgerators, tires, etc. and a few abandoned/burned up cars, as well as lots of smaller items.

After the trash cleanup we spent a few hours re-routing one of the Firebreak trails with the assistance of the ODF (Oregon Dept of Forestry) to allow the forest to reclaim a section which had eroded too far and was destroying one of the logging roads. Rain and erosion is a big issue here in the PNW, but the ODF works with us to keep our trails open while preventing uncontrolled erosion and silt buildup in the streams with (protected) salmon population.

But I digress...here's the pic. Nothing spectacular, but it's out of the driveway :)

Nah...we just improved it! :flipoff2: :laughing: In two months we will have our 99 XJ up here & then its awn! Hopefully we'll get the chance to hook up with some of you locals & hit the trails.

I've been on the cedar log trail but I don't think there is a cedar creek trail. Of course it's been awhile since I've been there.

Hey Bro,

Great job with the clean up. It always amazes me how so many knee jerk "environmentalists" are so long on talk and short on action. I'm also curious. How did the greenies get back to the areas where the garbage was?

Nice shot of the Jeep. It looks so much better in it's natural habitat.

http://img.groundspeak.com/cache/140_1200.jpg

Most of the dump sites are right off the logging roads which any passenger car can navigate. What is interesting, though, is that many of those self-proclaimed 'environmentalists' showed up in their gas guzzling SUV's :flipoff2:

I've been on the cedar log trail but I don't think there is a cedar creek trail. Of course it's been awhile since I've been there.

Of course, as it's not an official TSF marked/sanctioned trail, no official name exists, so it wouldn't surprise me if there as as many names for it as folks who've run it :)

The tree is an old growth cedar which fell many years ago. It was so large, it's root base left a large opening beneath the trunk which you can drive under (actually, when we built the trail a few years ago, we had to dig out a bit underneath to have enough room to allow lifted rigs to fit.

Here are a few pics of the trails namesake (and my CJ the way it looked a few years ago, with the BFG's, the fenders, and the Ramsey PTO winch I no longer have)

http://www.oregonbushhackers.org/pics/trip_pics/or55_73.jpg

http://www.oregonbushhackers.org/pics/trip_pics/or55_74.jpg

The trail has much more to offer as well. A great rock crawl at the beginning, some fun off-camber sections and a section in a low area which gets hairy during the rainy season (which in OR is most of the year) :rasta:

Actually, it's the "Cedar Tree Trail" [/B]
Where is the trail at? Like, I have the TSF map, what is it near? Thanks :usa:

I've never heard anyone call it the cedar tree trail. :confused: Weird. My husband helped build a lot of the trails too. He use to be a logger out there. It's a kick ass trail! We went out with Tjoop & had a blast. Our xj got some improvements made on it.......thanks to the cedar! We were all pretty surprised that the xj made it threw (tight squeeze):eek: !:laughing:

I like the pics you took of the trail. I only wish I could've gotten some that day.

That jeeps looks familure, do you park next to the Nike garage? I have a green/tan/dirt colored YJ in the Umpqua lot. I wheel with OBH and was at SOLV this weekend in my F250, but could not stay for the Fire break 5 maintenence.

Where is the trail at? Like, I have the TSF map, what is it near?

It's always tough to find on the published ODF map - I just know how to get to it from Rogers Camp, but I believe it's at the end of the road which runs along Elliot Creek. Look for motorcycle trail #8, Julie's Trail. I think it begins near the SE portion of the marked road.

I've never heard anyone call it the cedar tree trail.

Yeah, I dunno. It's always been Cedar Tree to those of us in the Brush Busters and OBH. Maybe if we keep calling it different things, they'll have a hard time locating it to close it :)

That jeeps looks familure, do you park next to the Nike garage?

Yup - that's me. I work in RHE2. Stop by and say hi sometime. I'm at grid location 5L4. I was there for SOLV too. We worked on the north side of highway 6 over near Timber. We showed up at FB5 about 1:30 and were there til about 4:30 or 5. Check out the pics on Jennifer's website...

http://jbjeep.terahex.com/SOLV02/SOLV-workparty.html

seems her site is unavailable right now - possibly down temporarily for too much traffic (free web host) after posting to the OBH list. keep trying and it'll come up eventually :)

Hey TJ Chick - just lookin at your profile and it seems we share the same bday! Only I'm 12 years older :/

Did your parents also tell you when you were young that all those fireworks were people celebrating your bday? :usa:

Give a holler next time your coming down to TSF and I'm sure we can get some folks to go run the Cedar (your favorite term here) Trail :)

Wow we share the same bday.....cool! :D Yeah maybe the next time we are down there we can hit some of the trails. The cedar (limb, tree, log, splinter) trail would be cool to wheel again! ;)

So your working near Timber??? We just moved from there a few weeks ago. It really is a nice area. :)

TJ Chick

So your working near Timber?

No, we cleaned up some illegal dump sites near Timber during the SOV-IT cleanup last Saturday.

Oh..yeah there is a lot of those around there.

Here are some stats from the SOLV day event

103 volunteers pitched in to remove 163 tires, over 8000 pounds of recyclable scrap metal, 35 cubic yards (5000 to 6000 pounds) of garbage, one abandoned vehicle, and half of a pick-up truck load of paint cans from the Forest.

Based on the sign in sheet, the following groups were represented. About half of the participants were affiliated with 4x4 clubs.

Oregon BushHackers (OBH)
PNW4WDA
2 Big Broncos
Mid Valley Crawlers
Vancouver 4 Wheelers
Sand Fleas
Pacific Northwest 4x4s Fullsize
Brush Busters
Trask Mountain Trailriders
Sierra Club
Oregon Equestrian Trails
Forest Grove Ranch Riders
Portland United Mountain Pedalers
Tillamook State Forest Volunteer Trail Patrol

Let me know if you have any questions

It was a very successful event. We really appreciate the participation of the 4x4 community in this and other work party efforts on the Tillamook State Forest.
