TSF Noobfest Camp Out: 6/4 - 6/5

[TORX]

Who: Obviously this run will be geared more toward beginners. Anyone is welcome to participate member or not, uni-body or not.
What: The only vehicle requirement for this run is four wheel drive. Don't worry about CB's, lockers, or tire size. If you've been itching to get out on the trail, bring what you got.
When: Saturday June 4th will be the official Noob run. We'll meet at Rogers Camp at 9:00am.
Where: This will be taking place at the Tillamook State Forest. You can top off your tanks and pick up an ORV permit at the Gales Creek Shell (http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ie=UTF8&q=gales+creek+shell+%26+grocery&fb=1&gl=us&hq=gales+creek+shell+%26+grocery&hnear=Camas,+WA&ei=RRK4S76oLKf-jQP7iO2_Cw&ved=0CBsQpQY&view=map&cid=1398332640177275028&iwloc=A&sa=X). Continue up Hwy 6 for another ~7 miles until you see the turnoff for Browns Camp on the left. Hang a left at the T and follow the road into Rogers Camp.

Game plan: Here's the tentative game plan for the day.
- Drivers meeting in the morning to discuss routes, and groups
- Start off with a few sections of Powerline to let everyone get a feel for their rig
- Depending on time we may stop at Mini Rubicon for a demonstration in spotting, and recovery
- Stop for a group lunch at Lyda Camp (Horse Camp depending on weather)
- Continue on up to Hoodraiser and Hogsback
- End the day with a section or two of Archers Firebreak
- Head for home/camp

Lunch: We'll be stopping for lunch mid day. If you would like to bring something for the group, post up. Don't feel obligated though. Keep it simple. I'll bring a stove for warming items up. A mini BBQ would also be nice.

Camping: If interested, we'll be camping out Saturday night at Browns Camp Campground. I believe the fee is $10 per night, and $2 per extra vehicle. You can either arrive early and set up camp, or wait until after the run is over. We may head out later for a night run (don't hold me to it!). Sunday may also include more trail running. Difficulty level will be determined in the morning. It's guaranteed to be a great time though.

I hope to see another great turnout for this. If you've been thinking about bringing your XJ out on a run, this is going to be a great run to learn the basics. It should be a lot of fun, and a great chance to learn something new. For the TSF regulars please know this will be an easy day. Your welcome to participate, or branch off on your own.

[AwesomeXJ]

I'm so excited. I can't wait

[crazycracka]

Went to TSF today with Spike and now I am going to work my ass off to make it. So count me in. I am getting a bad rap for only making Christmas tree runs so I should probably get out actually try my 4wd..

[Monster Mopar]

I'm planning on being there as long as I get my rig done on time. This would be a great chance for me to get to know my new toy. We'll (my wife and I) will probably camp out too since it's such a long haul for us to get there. Might even get there Friday night.

[NW-ZJ-SCOTT]

I will be there.

[goblazers_6]

I'll be there after work Saturday for camping (read drinking). I plan on beating my Jeep up Sunday.

[crazymoose1990]

Probably be there Friday night or Saturday morning

[BoringDave]

Plan to be there Friday after noon or early nite.

Dave

[AwesomeXJ]

I'll be there Saturday morning about 7:30

[GlueNTape]

I am there, Last year was a good time. Fantastic Turnout.

If some of you are heading up Friday, I am up for that.

Stock up on some magnesium and roll out.

[spikeypuck]

I'm not bringing cupcakes this year... Damn things bounce around too much

[nightfoam]

Stock up on some magnesium and roll out.

Haha, nice, wish I was camping

[Fastdemise]

Count me in. :-)

[NW-ZJ-SCOTT]

cant wait!

[FiveNdime]

Sounds like a plan, count me in. I think I may have a noob in mind to drag along.

[streetpirate]

since this is the noob run, i vote that dustin cannot bring jeepforceone, but has to bring the stocker and still be trail leader

[TORX]

[AwesomeXJ]

I'm planning on takeing beth with me and letting her pilot the xj for a while to experience the rush that is 4wheeling. Hopefully there will be some "bunny hill" kind of stuff for her to play on.

[Monster Mopar]

For some reason I was thinking the run was much later in June. Now with the realization its the first weekend in June I'm not sure if I'll get my rig done on time. I wish I wasn't confused I don't think I would have gone shrimping 2 weekends in a row. I missed a lot of wrenching time because of that. DOH! lol

If you could make it that would be cool. If not just get your redletter and join us in Naches WA. for NWFEST.

That just reminds me I finally need to red letter up. Over the last few years I have joined so many forums I couldn't decide. But now the writings on the wall.

deal. someone's going to have to keep me from trolling the cb

[TORX]

So post up if you plan on attending and when. I'd like to get an idea of group size.

For Saturday, I plan on sticking with the plan for a noob run. As tired as I am of Hood Raiser/Archers, we'll probably run Powerline, Hood Raiser, Archers, ending at Waterfall. Perfect route for the beginners getting a feel for their rigs.

For Sunday, we'll play it by ear. I'd like to run the East side with FB5, Airplane Hill, 7Up. There's bypasses for the tough spots, so we can still hang as a group.

Should be a good time!

[AwesomeXJ]

[TORX]

It looks like I'm working late on Friday, which will put me to Browns around 0130. Can I count on you guys being awake?

Also, if anyone has firewood, bring it!

[BoringDave]

[TORX]

I originally posted that I'll be bringing a stove for lunch. Does anyone plan on bringing something to warm up?

Looking at the forecast, I'm thinking I'll be playing simple and ditch bringing the stove all together.

[crazymoose1990]

Hell I dont even know what I am eating yet?

[Fastdemise]

perhaps I'll just bring a bunch of canned soup and cook on the exhaust. Use the heat soak for something right?

[AwesomeXJ]

I'm taking chimichonga's and a hoggie

[NW-ZJ-SCOTT]

Chimichangas.. MMmmm

x2!

[anders88xj]

Anybody have a spare front driveline they would sell me cheap or let me barrow? Id like to come and test out some stuff on the Jeep

I will be on the road at 4:14, which outs me at browns at 5.

I am hoping its not crowded. If it is, someone grab the sites near the creek, I think they are the ones dusting mentioned. I will pay the 10 a night and share, the creek gives my boys someplace to screw around while at camp.

This message sent from my phone.. which contains glue... no tape... yet..

[AwesomeXJ]

it costs $10 a night at browns camp. Why do we stay there and not Lyda?

[mojojojo]

Dustin and I will be rolling in late friday night, i will gladly pay for a night if someone can save room for mine and his tents.

[crazymoose1990]

Aaron you want to set up together. You will probably here me snoring and I will probably get as drunk as Ben does. Im brining Vodka :)

[GlueNTape]

At browns.. I don't have to crap in the woods :) we can all fit in the sites. There is plenty of room between them.

I will wait up till you guys, roll in. I cant wait to get out of cell range.
