Reiter Trails Noob run. (Nov 5th)

[KarlVP]

I will be taking a group through sac-up on November 5th.

We are meeting at the main parking area at Reiter trails at 9:30AM.

This event is not NAXJA specific, this is open to anyone. Please come if you want to learn about wheeling, want to educate, or just want to wheel and have fun. Also, please be patient, I plan on this one trail taking the better part of the day.

Don't come if you are impatient and don't want to wait for anyone. Do come if you want to have fun. And I promise Vehicles in all classes will have thier limits pushed.

Any questions, reply here or PM.

Look forward to seeing you all on the trail.

[CanMan]

Possibly count me and a friend or 2 in. Thanks Karl! :thumbup:

[Sniggs]

I might be up for this one... I broke last time I was there.

Keep following HWY 2 East, until about mile marker 30. Take a left, thier should be signs pointing the way. When the road take a sharp left that you turn onto, keep going straight, trees on both sides. There will be a big open staging area on your left. Better directions avaliable though. :D

Sounds like my last Reiter report. Broke: Bent the tie rod (still bent)

Replace Exhaust: Cut mine off so I could get to some hard to reach spots when I was adding the rear skid. It wasn't even a year old, didn't like the bends, gonna order an aftermarket unit.

Moral to the story, I'll be there, it's been a while.

[reckless]

Good chance I'll be there....hey can I hook up with someone to follow, meet you in tacoma?

[CanMan]

I can meet you at the Pacific/Algona onramp off HWY 167, If I can make it.

[reckless]

sounds good, thanks.

[XJCasper]

I can swing through Tacoma, but usually head out 512 to 167 to 405

[mud1059]

So if Isabelle is a 6 out of 10 what is Sac up? Also, I found this goofy map but don't see any of the spoken trails. I know I saw a bunch of beefed truggies out there for the clean up. I wanna see which trails those guys were running.

I think I liked reiter but my poor truck with it's 3.42 gears and 35" tires don't haul the jeep very well up hills. I can only imagine dragging it for 2 hours.

Sac - up is a 3 to 4 out of 10. Maybe even a 2 if you take all the bypasses.

The guys in the truggies were running trails such as Trail Of Doom, The Bonus Line, and Beat Your Shit (or "BYS" as we call it) You are more than welcome to show up the same day, and I can arrange an escort for those trails. Bring your winch or you can't play out there. 35" or bigger tires are also highly reccomended.

That map you found is from the Trials bikes. It is all motorcycle trails.

As for towing your Jeep from Sumner. Just think, it's all downhill from Reter to Sumner. ;)

[FiFo]

Ya, most all the really hard stuff on sac-up has by passes around it. Though half the fun on a run like this is to stop and watch everyone try the harder lines. Half of those who try probably wont make it. But it sure is fun to watch them try.

[KarlVP]

UPDATE: because I have to, due to the powers that be. A simple request, IMHO


Required Equipment: Seat Belts for all passengers, roll cage or hard top, Front Tow Hooks, sunny dispositions. ;)

Reccomended Equipment: Fire Extinguisher, Front and Rear tow hooks, recovery strap (no metal hooks on the ends), first aid kit.

[IXNAYXJ]

90% sure I'll be there. Looking forward to it!

Oh, yes...

It is happening. Just won't slow down.

What is this "Life" thing you guys keep talking about? Can I order one on the internets or something?

:helpme:

http://www.gokartsupply.com/img/tube.jpg

-----Matt-----

It's not just one tube, its a "series of tubes". Sen. Stevens (from ALASKA) told me that. I'm not sure which tube Ian should look in.

Sorry for the derailment.

That is all...

Carry on....

[IXNAYXJ]

You have to get one at K-Mart.

[CanMan]

You have to get one at K-Mart.

They are cheaper at Wal Mart.

[Blkxjkrawler]

Pretty sure I'll be going. Anyone want to meet for breakfast?

[CanMan]

We can meet at the Dutch Cup for breakfast around 8:20 or so. That would give us more and enough time to head out to Reiter.

[XJCasper]

Dang, can't remember how long it took to get there from Tacoma.

Can anyone help?

Jason, Map it with Google or Yahoo or your favorite program, this should give you a good idea of time.

I wish I could be there this weekend, but my "LIFE" requires that I be in Santa Barbara CA all weekend;)

Michael

[Matt98XJ]

I will probably meet you guys out there.

[KarlVP]

Do we have to wear pants?

[XJLaredo]

Do we have to wear pants?

I hpoe you do. Or stay in your jeep the whole time.:D

[IXNAYXJ]

-----Matt-----

[FiFo]

Do we have to wear pants?

No, Shorts are allowed.

Though you did say "Noob' not "Nude" run right?

[KarlVP]

Who was it that got really drunk at the Halloween party and started suggesting a nude run?

Oh, wait..... that was me.

[CanMan]

OK, So it looks like we are meeting for breakfast too. Here are some times Im putting out to meet up and such.

Any one coming from the south end(south of Auburn), I am going to meet you on the onramp of HWY. 167, at the Pacific-Algona exit. James I am meeting so far. Anyone else? I will be there at 0700hrs, and will depart around 0715hrs. It should take about an hour to get there from the exit, depending on traffic. At the cleanup, it took about that.

Then from there we will convoy to the Dutch Cup from the exit, Here (http://www.mapquest.com/directions/main.adp?go=1&do=nw&rmm=1&un=m&cl=EN&qq=hltF3hzNT9tNhURP0HLlhh9UYBmHRqyBceg4Gkon14D8uew Lk7pjHQ%253d%253d&ct=NA&rsres=1&1y=US&1ffi=&1l=&1g=&1pl=&1v=&1n=&1pn=&1a=&1c=pacific+&1s=wa&1z=&2y=US&2ffi=&2l=&2g=&2pl=&2v=&2n=&2pn=&2a=&2c=sultan&2s=wa&2z=&r=f), Arriving there around 0820hrs or so. I figure a good half hour, 45 minute breakfast, so from there, we can fuel up down the road, then be at Reiter at the time said.

Karl, I suppose we won't be hitting the trails at exactly 0930hrs? Probably more around 1000hrs?

So James, I guess were meeting a little earlier that previously discussed.

[XJLaredo]

Well i guess so. Told the new woman about meeting you at 7:30 and about shit her pants("thats to early for a sunday"), I guess selective hearing is an issue since i told her last night EXACTLY what the plans where. So i will probably rollin solo.

But anyway, I should see you around 7:00am then.

Jamez.

[KarlVP]

Yup, you folks are exactly correct. But 10AM is the deadline.


If you arent there by 10am, enjoy Reiter Trails.

[XJCasper]

XJ took a dump tonight. Probably won't be there unless my mechanic can get it done tomorrow. I will be calling in sick to work on my GLH. Hopefully one of them is running by Saturday.

Jason

[FiFo]

I just finished my mid-terms and need to destress, so I will be there Sunday. Not sure if I will make breakfast or not, though.

[XJCasper]

Looks like I'm in. Jeeps got a new Sensor.

Gotta pick up someone in Spanaway. CB's down so I will call James to get an update on where y'all are at. Plan on meeting on 167.

Later
Jason

[reckless]

You guys are planning on meeting sunday morning, right?

[reckless]

12GAXJ, I'll be meeting you on the on ramp as long as my tow bar goes on ok, is there going to be room to park a tow rig at retier?

[CanMan]

12GAXJ, I'll be meeting you on the on ramp as long as my tow bar goes on ok, is there going to be room to park a tow rig at retier?

Definitly.

Reiter has a huge parking area, parking will not be an issue.

[XJCasper]

Damn, The Jeep can't make up its mind. Drove great for an hour, and then nothing. Not gonna make it now.

Later

[mud1059]

holy fricking cow Batman! flip flops flip flop more than you do! I'd vote not posting and then your jeep will like you then you can show up and surprise us all. or at the last minute have to work....or your girl won't let you go....gosh I'm so confused now.


I'm not putting a smiley on here but just know I'm only messin with ya. Good luck on whatever the hell is wrong with your jeep though boss.

[XJCasper]

It sucks. Looking forward to getting away for the day from everything going on here, and the thing won't make up its mind.

[KarlVP]

FiFo and I went wheeling today. We ran sac-up real quick.

The trail is a sloppy mess. It's gonna be a blast tomorrow.

[XJCasper]

I'm Jealous. The only good thing I like about rain. Mud for the Jeep.

Jason

When you get your Junk fixed let us know. I'm down for some Reiter Trails action any day of the week. And twice on sunday.

I've been known to go wheeling at Reiter all day, and then see people I know on my way home, gas up and get a truck stop burrito and head back out.

One time, I ran the same trail 3 times in a row with different groups each time.

[FiFo]

Ya, sac-up is going to be a blast tomorrow, I've got to get my camera batteries charged up, there is going to be plenty to see and do.

FYI. Expect it to take all day as it sounds like there is going to be a large group. Also it is wet, and muddy, so be prepared for that. I'm expecting to spend a good deal of time outside of my rig watching others attempt obstacles, and extracting others from situations they can't get out of.

[reckless]

I'm out, unable to get all the stuff done that I needed to....if anyone can leave me gps cordinance I may try to catch up in the late morning.....what channel on the cb are you going to be on?

[FiFo]

We will be on channel 4, don't know the GPS cordinance for Sac-up, KarlVP will probable know them, he just spent a couple months helping map out all the trails up there.

Sure, once you set up a free account. I'll put some up. There aren't many of the XJ group.

There are a few of Crash getting denied TWICE and FiFo walking right through that once spot.

[Sniggs]

[mojojojo]

nice pictures. looks like a fun trip. seems you guys had much better luck with the weather than we did down here.

That's no fun. Not interested in registering on ANOTHER forum. :D Why not post some pics here too? :laugh3:

[XJLaredo]

It was a good run, a few mean spots.

I got stuck 1 minute before the end of the trail. I was the last of 19 rigs and got the tore up leftovers, LOL.

Thanks again Ryan.

Sorry not many pics of the NAXJA crew. Ask FiFo. I would have taken some, but I forgot my camera.

All in all it was a fun run.

Thanks again for coming guys and gals.

Thanks for setting that up and having us out karl, it was alot of fun. I have a couple of Xj pics I'll get posted tonight.

My wife took this video of me going through the goal post, Mat (IXNAY I think?) was right on my tail as one of the few rigs there that managed to make it with out winching.

[Blkxjkrawler]

Alright here are the limited pics I got, lucky for some one who shall remain nameless I left my camera in my jeep when we were getting him unstuck.:D

I dont know what this obstacle was called but FiFo eventually made it up after it had denied a couple of other rigs
