whizzy is who i contacted a few months back. you might want to try him or DSI.

:flipoff2:

(22) August 5-9th, 2002: Oregon and/or Washington - bashed4runner tentatively scheduled to lead trip in WA, DSI also volunteers to help Kanar/Shoestring/Funny Rocks, but says 2-days min on that - the following has been suggested by Ben W for this leg:

Newest comments from Ben W:
Make it 2 days, call it Little Naches area, minimum vehicle requirements: 33" tires and at least one locker, fullsize vehicles body damage imminent, other vehicles body damage expected".
Aug 5: Browns Camp in Or Ben W & bigblaze to help
Aug 7: Kaner/Shoestring/Funny Rocks in Central WA
Aug 8 or 9: Walker Valley or Reiter Trails in Western WA Ben W to help
MudBunny (1), TJoop (1), tiessen (1), CJ3BWILLYS (2-5), Valentine (1), Paul Gagnon (1), notcrazyjustNuTz (2-3), 85toyboy (1), Erik D (1), Mohadeab (1), Wheelinjp (1) , XtrmTJ (1-3), rob (1)?

Cool...:smokin: Thanks...you boys gonna be at any of em ?

No concrete plans have ever been set AFAIK. There hasn't been a peep out of bashed4runner or bigblaze since the initial thread, so I'm assuming that they WON'T be leading trail runs at browns camp, or western WA.

So that leaves us with Little Naches. I'm willing to lead, and I assume DSI can lead also. I am thinking August 6th & 7th for trail run days. I'm hoping DSI will chime in w/ his plans or other suggestions.

Tuesday and Wensday ? I,ll get the time off, one way or another...but why week days and not the weekend ? Count me in on anything on this side(East) of the mountains, as I,m in Walla Walla. Thanks Ben W. !:D

Well lets hammer out a date. It doesn't matter to me, so lets hear what everyone wants. I agree a weekend would be better, I was just going off the initial dates. How about Sunday/Monday or Friday/Saturday?

I'm for the 9th&10th(Fri-Sat). Maybe able to get a few fullsize guys out from PNWFS too. Maybe even a couple of Cascade Krawlers Flatfenders. If I have a date it would be easier to convince them, and I think Fri-Sat works better for most of us.

No offence, but anything larger than a Blazer is going to have major problems, unless they have NO regard for sheetmetal. Even a Blazer will struggle, and will come out several inches narrower than it went in. We are not running Powerline (aka Raven's Roost), we are running Rocky Saddle, Kaner, and Shoestring. :beer: I won't take anything w/ more sheetmetal than my Scout on Rocky Saddle.

Ben W...

Do you have an open seat? Does anyone have an open seat...Also Why during the week? The Harvester Of Sorrow will not be ready for about another month or two.

How has Yakima been? Lots of Mcdonalds being built man!

I am diggin living in the wet part of the state.

I won't have an open seat unless my wife decides not to go. I imagine someone else will though. Yakima is wonderful :rolleyes: as always. The 2 new McD's are exactly what this town needs! :rolleyes: :laughing:

I am recovering from an injury, but plan on getting my coil overs and new rear tube frame and cage in asap. Hopefully in time to make the runs with ya all, so count me in!

What you meen?? All the whay in Agust?!?! You don't think we can get your junk ready by then.....





tisk, tisk...


I'd vote for a weekend, Fri/Sat or Sat/Sun..... tell use when Ben...

If there is any interest in anyone still wanting a Browns Camp stop post up. I will attend but do not feel like organizing it. If enough people want to attend then I can get a hold of people to lead trails without problem. Weekends would be best.

Weekend sounds GREAT to me...Fri & Sat, or Sat & Sun is OK... 9, 10 , 11 Aug . looks good ?

Hey this is a WASHINGTON post not a oregon post ? Go get ur own trails to run you oregonian....:cool: :flipoff2: ;) Why not make it up to run with us ....on ...looks like weekend of thr 9th of Aug. ?

Is this gonna be an overniter ? Need tent ? camping gear ? or can one stay in a motel ?

I am looking forward to wheeling with you knuckleheads...gonna be a blast !:D :rolleyes: :eek: ;) :p

What kind of wheeling trip ends with a night in a motel?:flipoff2: I want to go too!!!:D I will be up in Washington with Berzerker then so, maybe if I am good, he will take me.:goofball: If I'm bad, I know that TDW will take me at least.:evil: ;)

I am for sure down with a browns camp run. I would prefer sunday/monday though:flipoff2:

FYI
Club runs restrict rocky saddle to a 73 inch width. Also there is a section that is an off camber turn and most folks pivot the rig with the roll bar on a tree.

Every thing else is cake for 33's and a lockers

Funny rocks is easy if your full width.. and locked.. lots of OP's for rolls though.

I ran Powerline with them in my F150 Memorial Day, and I did notice fullsize vehicles body damage imminent by Ben W. I think a few of these guys would do it. Personally I am going to use this as a dead line to have all the kinks worked outta my Flatfender:D

I'll be at Kaner Flats, or just of Crow Creek on the right as the road forks in the MH :D

So....Who...or Whom is honchoing this thing ? Need hard dates so as ppl can get time off ?:eek:

Even if the fullsize guys don't care about sqeezing their rigs it's probably best that they don't. We don't want to destroy the trails or the trees and risk another bad mark for off roaders. The greenies, no matter where you are, don't need more fuel for the fire.
I will put in another vote for Fri/Sat.

Yet another vote for Fri Sat. or Sat Sun. If I havent sold the cj5 we will be in. I am looking forward to meeting new people to wheel with. I say let ullsizes come with the warning they have been told. I have been up there and there is always full sizes around(and dented).

You bunch of fawkin whiney ass pansies, sheesh!!!
Lets fawkin wheel !!!!!:D :D :D

Name the Date, Time, and Where and I,ll wheel with you Crash !

If my tow rig wasn't in pieces right now i would say right now,lol...
I really would like to get down south and see what oregon has to offer

I have a question, how much tighter/narrower are the trails in the Naches-Kanner area comapred to say Elbe? I have ran the Busy Wild and I came out with some....ok alot of body damage but it was fun. Im just wonderning about this. I have never ran anything in that area and was just curious about the trails in that area. I would like to meat alot of the Wa. wheelr people so I have someone new to wheel with. Thanks

The 601 bypass is the tightest of the trails, and its wider still than anything up at elbe.....

its not like im worried about body damage, I just dont want to have to buy another set of doors for every wheelin trip I go on. So in other words I would be ok if I just keep it in moderation?(whateverthatis)

I want to run at Brown's camp, Todd. I'm contemplating the Little Natchez run too. I've never wheeled my truck there, you know what's done, how do you think it would do?

[jealouslyvoice]You wouldn't have to worry about weekends if you didn't play hooky for a week and go to the 'con you fawker! :D [/jealousyvoice]

ok i'm chiming in now :D

ben i'm willing to go along with whatever you plan... fri sat or sat sun sounds a hell of alot better for the workin ppl so nasically lemme know and i'll make sure the toy isn't under and major de-construction on those days :D

WTF? You whiney little HOE!!!!! Get your ass in gear and get out on the trail!!!!!! Quit fawkin around with your conversion, put that piece of shit back the way it was and wheel it for the weekend. Come awnnnnnn!!!!!!! When was the last time you wheeled anyway?

Come awn guys, we need to get the Oregon part worked out also. I think enough people want to do it and it's not really that far from Naches ( about 250 miles I think ), besides you guys would have fun. It would make a nice long day just hitting the tougher stuff.

B

OK.... Looks like Sat & Sun is the winner for "when". NOW, DSI, Ben W, What Time AND Where ? I and I presume others are trailoring in....so is there aplace to leave a trailor and tow rig, overnite ? A BIG "Thank You" for stepping up to take charge DSI ! :D I dont know the lay of the land....but I,ll assist in waist or tail gunner , if you need ?

LITTLE NACHES, WA FINAL DATES

Friday August 9th & Saturday August 10th

I'll gather some details on the campgrounds, etc.

Everyone who is coming, post w/ the number of vehicles in your group, and I'll put a list together, so we can get an idea of the # of people coming.

The Oregon guys might want to start another thread to get something organized.

OK then.......FRI & SAT it is ! :D Thanks Ben W ! Count me in...one Jeep and 3 ppl ! :D Any directions you or anyone can provide will help ALOT ! Let,s GET SOME !:smokin:


:jeep: __(OIIIIIIIO)__rOkOn:usa:

Lets see TABS and INSURANCE...that puts me well into 2003!

Anytime you want to head down and wheel just let me know, you can cover Browns Camp area in a long day easily. Doesn't offer a whole lot YET ;) (stay tuned :D )

Planning on it, but you know how that goes.

I am wheelin this weekend if you want to head this way. :D

I vote for fri & sat for an oregon / browns camp run, but if that doesnt get put together I'll probably head up to washington.

I really need to get out and meet and wheel with some people in OR & WA, and get out and get more practice, not to mention I need a fire lit under my ass to get busy and finish fabin' my bumpers and sliders!

well ben you can count me in too :D 1 molested toyota, and most likely just me :D ( that way i can control the radio )


suggest like kanar flat's or something off the 19rd for the camping area since it's close to water etc...

or my personal fav @ the 9 marker up rock creek :D

LMAO.... 1 molested toyota... Hahaha ... Molested.... Hehehe ... I get it ...:eek: :p

Add 1 Jeep to the list. Probably drive it up since it's only about an hour and a half from home.

And that,s a GOOD thing ?:eek: :p :rolleyes: :flipoff2:



:jeep: __(OIIIIIIIO)__rOkOn:usa:

I must say that is the one thing that I really do miss about living in Central WA...Yakima...the 45 min drive to the Little Naches area and the White and Chinook passes.

I can't wait untill I can get my shit out of the garage and go wheeling around here though.

I would like to have a seat to ride in if anybody needs a spotter dammiiittt....!:rolleyes:

hey Mark... I'll let you know if Jenni doesn't go....


wait, its like a month away... you should have NO EXUSE for not being there.....


get your ass in gear!!!!

For the "whos all going". Me and poss. 1 or 2 more people in y Bronco and poss. 1 or 2 more vehicles. Im looking forward to this.

Hey, Ben/DSI, should we do another post with dates, time s and locations, and who,s going ? (NOT well maybe, if my cramps go away , or IF my chrome shinny things show up in time BS ! ? ) ONLY post IF you are SURE to show up ! That way we can get a solid head count and know who,s going ? Just a sugestion...:D , YOU all are handling it ....:p ;) I,m just showing up for the wheeling ! :) I can/willing to assist,waist or tail gunner ? What ya all think ?


:jeep: __(OIIIIIIIO)__rOkOn:usa:

I'm out. Broke a couple things by jumping on the loud pedal during playtime at Funny Rocks. Gonna go full width soon and since I don't have a job I'm not going to spend any money getting the TTB back together. I'll ride along though if someone has a seat.

How do I get in on this? I wants to play to.

I will be there. Just need to know where everyone is camping :beer:

fawk that.. you're not allowed, you don't know the secret handshake... :flipoff2:

basically just show up on teh dates and times :D

When the dates are in stone yell, also, if there is a need for somebody who really knows the trails, yell.

well i would love to run the brownscamp section but i have a few problems if i is gonna be august 5th and that is the burb is down due to cam problems and i am putting together new motor. and that is the monday after the weekend of sand fest which i have 2 friends coming in from virginia just for that weekend but i could probally get off that monday and then use my shortwide or the wifes blazer i just might have to stay away from a couple of obstacles depending which rig i take. maybe we should try to get a hold of homegrown toy. I will make myself available on the 5th if that is gonna be the date so whomever is in charge of actually setting the daye pm me asap.

I'll put together some directions, and campground information when I get a chance.

Just past Kaner flats is Longmeadow camp. It is a nice big camping spot where you don't have to have a forest pass, it has a bathroom, is about a mile long and you can fit any type of tow rig/camping vehicle in there no problem, is on the little naches river, and is basically across the street from the bottom of the Kaner trail and ravens roost :rolleyes: .
DIRECTIONS: Head up the little naches road, take a left on the first bridge, take your first left into the campground.



or my personal fav @ the 9 marker up rock creek

So Dave, can I get my camper in this campground and is there any water nearby?

Also how is the drive back down the road with everything loaded up (i.e. how do the brakes do on the descent?)

I'm not picturing this spot. If you take a left (west) on the bridge, you pass Crow Creek campground on your right, and start going up hill.

Looking at my map there is a Longmire Meadow up Little Naches RD (FS 19) past the bridge, but it is on the right hand (east) side of the road.

Would everyone rather camp in a Pay Campground w/ toilets & running water, or out in a dispersed camping area, w/ no facilities at all, but it is free?

Aug. the 9th(Fri) and Aug. the 10th(Sat) are SOLID dates for this shindig...right ?

Yes. :beer: You may want to arrive Thursday evening, I'm hoping to hit the trails around 9:00 or 10:00 Friday morning.

this is gonna be fun.. the weekend before this even i'll be @ da hammer's, do the con the tues'weds before and come home to this... talk aboitu heaven :D

Am planning on pulling into Yakima about ...6 pm on Thursday evening. Anyplace to park a MoHome and trailor over nite ? Or are we all meeting up there...were ever the heck up there is ? LOL:p

I'm at a disadvantage with names cause my map is at home:( but the site I am talking about is where the PNW trail jamboree was held in '95-97.
Yes, you do go across the bridge (west) over the little naches then take the first left which happens to be about 100 yards past crow creek road (which is on the right).

As for pay vs fee vs running water etc....I tend to like dispersed camping areas which offer you more freedom. We were at Rimrock last weekend and had a miniature rock crawl comp in camp on the 6 foot boulders that were there :) Half the campground walked over to watch. If DSI or Crash had been there they could have showed everybody how to get it :D

BTW, Rimrock is still my favorite place to wheel in WA. Long, steep, loose, rocky, white knuckled hills will likely be my favorite until I get some crawler gears. One of the comments from a friend of mine after a day of wheeling at rimrock was "I think I still have seat vinyl in my butt crack!":eek:

You can park your moho and trailer at the campground.

"Up There" is Little Naches, about 40 miles NW of Yakima. Take I-82 to Yakima, take the HWY 12 Naches exit. Take HWY 12 all the way through the town of Naches. Then you'll come to an intersection, HWY 12 goes to the left, HWY 410 goes straight. Go straight on HWY 410. Go about 22 miles, give or take, and turn right onto Little Naches Rd.

Sounds like a good spot, I might drive up this weekend and scout out some camping spots. Marker 9 on Rock Creek road is a good spot, isolated away from everyone else, but there is no water nearby, and it is alot of gravel driving for my tastes.

Thanks, Ben... See ya all there !:D :smokin:

Sounds like you just need to get on 12 and go straight until you get to 410. :D If I could get the time off, I'd hitch a ride at Tri-Cities...

Got plenty of room in the MoHome..... bring it awwwwn !:D

Definately count me in. I'll be driving up from portland thursday evening, and I'll have an extra seat or two in my runner if anyone is dying to go but doesnt have a rig.

how 'bout a CB channel for camp / staging ?

Tate

I vote for mile marker 9.
