Newbie/Stocker Run

[IXNAYXJ]

I would like to start the dialogue about a possible trail run out to Tahuya State Forest (near Bremerton) for Newbies or people who have stock-ish rigs. Not all of us have XJs with 12-inches of lift, Rockwells, 5.88 gears and 44" tires that some of the group has. There are also those who don't have an ingrained super-human, super-natural gift for off-road driving that some of the group does.

Hopefully there is a place for all of us in the NWC. It is in this spitit that I would like to propose the idea of a (as the title implies) a Newbie/Stocker run so that the old pro's can share wisdom, or at least driving tips, with us mere-mortals. It could also serve as a Meet and Greet, seeing as we have a slew of new members. I think a group of between 8 and 15 rigs would be perfect. Weekends are obviously a must, as most of us have Monday through Friday sentences at the Salt Mine. Sundays are better for a some (you know who you are...and so do we!). Lets make it happen!

So there. Discuss.

[PDeeXJ]

I guess I'll have to represent PDX with my stock rig. Count me in if it's in March.

[opracer315]

Could we try to get this closer to the middle of the state. Like Liberty, so us on the east side can partake.

[IXNAYXJ]

No. Nobody cares about you.























Actually, I think it would be fun to see some stuff on the other side of the mountains. As far as I'm concerned, the location is totally open...I was just suggesting Tahuya because I know where it is and there are a bunch of newbies who live near there. I'm open to anything, though.

-----Matt-----

[emtpiston]

well i replied to the other thread without looking at this one. Im just north of tahuya and go down almost once a week so count me in. we have a few weekend overnighters planned if the weather holds out. between my buddies we usually get about 4 or 5 trucks each time so its fun.

[norcal420]

I don't have a stocker, but I'd love to make the run anyway. I'm moving to the area around 3/1, so I'd definitely be down for some wheelin'.

I'll be watching to see what develops . . .

DR

[CanMan]

I think thats a good idea to go to Tahuya or anywhere as a matter of fact. Im in, any weekend works for me. How about sometime in March? Also lets try to go when the weather is nice if possible. As for most stockers, we have very few recovery points, so lets not go where the mud overrules everything else. Don't know about everyone else, but mud is my least favorite by far.

I don't really care where we all go, as long as it is fun and somewhat close by.

[GreenbeltXJ]

you can count me in if my job permits, sounds like fun

[XJCasper]

With enought warning, I am in, especially for Tahuya.

[IXNAYXJ]

I've only been to Tahuya twice, one time when a bunch of the trails were closed, and the other time my motor mount bolts sheared off, ending the day early. Who has good knowlege of the trails, and/or who would be interesting in leading the group or at least advising on a good route?

Too often these ideas wither out and die if nothing is done about them, so I'd like to get moving on this. What does everybody think about Sunday, March 5th? Too soon? There's a snow run planned Saturday, March 11...is this too close for everybody? Discuss....

-----Matt-----

[xjoe]

I am real close and know tahuya fairly well. If you put a run together I would be happy to help/show some of you guys around. Of course my rig is not stock, but it would be usefull if any recoveries are needed.

[IXNAYXJ]

-----Matt-----

[xjoe]

That would be great. What dates work best for you?

-----Matt-----At this point I am pretty flexable, as far as weekends are concerned. I try really hard to not schedule work on weekends. So it is really what works best for you guys. J

[CanMan]

The 5th of March sounds great. Im in for Tahuya. Just set a time we all can meet up for breakfast or something. Im thinkin around 7:00 am or is that too late? Or skip breakfast and just head on over there? Whatever works for me.

Or skip breakfast and just head on over there? Whatever works for me.I like it...except for the time. Let's push it back juuust a little bit, in case people need to drive long distances. How about breakfast at 0800 and on the trails right around 0900? That should give us a decent start to the day, and allow for those not living next to Tahuya to make it ;)

-----Matt-----

Oh whaaaaaaaat-ever...sleepyhead. :D

I'm coming from Kent and I'd meet up in Belfair for breakfast at 0600 if anybody wanted. :D:D:D

FOr that matter, let's have an early and a later run. I'm down for 6am breakfast with the military folks if they wanna do it.

[norcal420]

Hey guys... I'm still interested, but I have no idea where Tahuya is. FYI, I'll be near Shoreline/Mountlake Terrace. How long would my drive be to get there?

I start my new job on 3/6, but I still think I'll be down for wheelin' 3/5 if it's not too far of a drive for me.

DR

[ECKSJAY]

Near Belfair, WA.

[norcal420]

Near Belfair, WA.

Alright, thanks. Maybe I'll take the Edmonds Ferry over . . .

DRDepends on how fast you drive! About 1.5hrs to Bremerton. It is still about 20 minutes or so to the staging area from bremerton.

[xjoe]

Alright, thanks. Maybe I'll take the Edmonds Ferry over . . .

DRYou could also take the Seattle/Bremerton Ferry.

[Sniggs]

DR!! You could meet Phil (Esckjay) and I near Southcenter and the 3 of us could convoy there? I'm in Burien about 25 minutes south of Shoreline (south of downtown).

Hey Eli, would it be easier to hook up at the Federal Way Costco? Fuel up and go?

[PDeeXJ]

Three and a half hours to get up there. I'm still in. Any chance I could crash at someones house that night, and leave the following morning?

[CanMan]

Hey Eli, would it be easier to hook up at the Federal Way Costco? Fuel up and go?

Sounds good to me, whatever works for everyone else. Just a 10 min drive up there to Costco for me. What time would be best? 7:00AM? Or whenever you and Phil and anyone else coming decide on.

[norcal420]

DR!! You could meet Phil (Esckjay) and I near Southcenter and the 3 of us could convoy there? I'm in Burien about 25 minutes south of Shoreline (south of downtown).

What's up Sniggs... definitely down for that. While 80 miles one way (Shoreline-Bremerton) seems like a crapload of drivin', it's all good.

PM me w/ details & directions and it should be no problem for me (and thanks for the invite).

DR

Edit: Well damn, if PDXXJNOOB shows up I've got nothin' on him...

[emtpiston]

so the date is march 5th? I'm working that day but i might be able to get it off. saturday is better. i know tahuya pretty well and can show folks around. i live in poulsbo which is between the bainbridge island/seattle ferry and the kingston/edmonds ferry. if the weather is decent there is the possibility of a BBQ at my place for those heading back across the water.

oh and if anyone wants to go wheelin in tahuya this weekend we're heading down there saturday morning and should be there all weekend.

Edit: Well damn, if PDXXJNOOB shows up I've got nothin' on him...The amount of time to take the Ferry and/or Drive around is about the same. Someone,I'm sure, can show you the way back to Kingston so you could catch the Ferry going home. Seriously, the drive isn't all that bad. By the way, WELCOME to Washington!! We're going to have to work on that login name though, right? ;)

[Sniggs]

Nope sorry, dude. You can't come along unless you drag Scott's Red91inwa butt along with you!! You will need a co-driver for them mud puddles, right? ;)

[ECKSJAY]

No kidding! Come up Saturday night and you two are welcome to stay at my place. We've gotta work Monday morning and all that...

[PDeeXJ]

I've tried to talk him into it. :( He's got such a great rig, he should use it! Saturday night, good thinking...

Puddles? No... I have a snorkel :)

Scott, Let's do it!

You know I was only kidding, right?? For anyone wanting a preview, here's an old posting that has some pics. http://www.jimbennett.net/tahuya.htm


By the way the DNR says Overland is closed - can anyone confirm this?

PUDDLES! I thought you were kidding. That looks awesome, but I bet I'd get stuck anyways. :)

Kewl, no worries.

Cool, no worries.

By the way, WELCOME to Washington!!

Thanks....

We're going to have to work on that login name though, right? ;)

Never! ;) I've got ID plates now, so my rig should be safe in WA. However, NorCal > *.* :D

DR

[CanMan]

No kidding! Come up Saturday night and you two are welcome to stay at my place....

A slumber party? Huh.
















If my place wasn't such a mess, Id say crash here Sunday night, and leave when I go to work at 5 in the AM. I'll see what I can come up with.

[XJCasper]

My input:

March 5th might not be enough warning for me to get a day off. My half assed employer took my Sundays away.

I am out in Yelm, if you bring a Sleeping bag, we should have enought floor space. That is if I am able to go.

Joe showed me a little around Tahuya, and we had a fairly late start. Must have been clost to 11 or so. How about we meet up a 9:00. But Where?

Jason

[PDeeXJ]

Put your foot down and let them know you're wheeling Sunday :)

[Dvipercop]

Pdxxjnoob talked me into it... I reckon I'm coming as well. Me and him will be mini-convoying (is that even a word?) it up there. Any other Portland/surrounding area folks coming? We need to represent! :D

[PDeeXJ]

Haha, Yeah! red91, you know you want to join in! Who else will represent Oregon?

[jpars]

Ill most likely be there representing oregon.

Although watch out- my rig isnt stock.

ive got black steelies and KC slimlites on the front.

(oooooo, ahhhhhhhhh)

and a chance of mt's before this run.........


:)

[IXNAYXJ]

This is coming together great! Here's what I've got so far....

WHAT: Wheeling 101. A fun filled day of mild to moderate wheeling, with plenty of back-up in case of technical Charlie Foxtrots or getting stuck.

WHO: XJ'ers without a lot of 4x4 experience, or vehicles without a lot of mods. And anyone else who wants to have a good time and meet some cool folks.

WHEN: Sunday, March 5th, 2006. As it stands now, the plan is to meet somewhere out in Belfair BETWEEN 0700-0800 for breakfast, and to hit the trails after that.

WHERE: Tahuya State Forest ORV park (http://www.dnr.wa.gov/htdocs/lm/recreation/tahuya/index.html) Just outside of Belfair Washington.

WHY: 'Cause it'll be fun.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

So...who all's gonna come? Based on the thread so far, I'm seeing:

Me, IXNAYXJ

pdxjnoob (who needs a place to stay...I need a volunteer!)

emtpiston

norcal420 (has shown interest...hopefully it remains strong)

XJjeepLess

xjoe (as sage guide and council)

ECKSJAY (illustrious President)

Sniggs (illustrious treasurer)

Dvipercop ('reckons' he'll be coming...whatever THAT means!)

jpars (another intrepid Oregonite, or Oregonian or whatever they're called)

Jmotorsport...undecided

red91inwa...strangely mute on the subject....?

Nobody from way up North? 2extreme? Xjourney? Anybody?

I think that covers it. Let's keep interest strong and make a great outing!

-----Matt-----

[norcal420]

Hey Matt.... yeah, I'm still down. Especially since I won't be able to make the 3/11 snow run (moving into my new house).

And BTW, if I'm meeting w/ you and Phil for the drive over I saw FAWK breakfast. I need my beauty sleep....

Late,

dR

Edit: Guess I'm actually supposed to hook up w/ Sniggs and Ecksjay prior to the run...not you.

[PDeeXJ]

Well it would make more sense to cruise up the night before, so us three Oregonians would probably convoy up... but can anyone hold 3 for the night? I haven't talked to them, whether we should cruise up at night, or early early that morning.

Oh, and does ECKSJAY have the chapter stickers now? If so, I need to outfit my rig.

[CanMan]

Mark (Sniggs), has them I believe. I got mine from him.

I've got 2400 sq. ft. to myself in Tacoma, about an hour from Tahuya. Maybe we could all head back there for a little BBQ/socializing after the run? Anybody interested?

Phil and I will be working this out. Need to add time for breakfast and a drive by of Howard's house to pee on his tires... Phil wants to see if he can hit Howard's Spare!

[Sniggs]

Bass... there's a staging area there if you wanted just to park and go on a "Ride Along" I will have an open seat and there's a few others too.

-----Matt-----heh... want us to give you a wake up call when we get to Costco? ;)

[twardnw]

dang, wish I could come up for this. Just made plans for that weekend, about 20 minutes ago. I shoulda logged on first. And I'm only getting like 9mpg right now, such is the state of my engine :(

oh well, maybe another time (more locally hopefully)

Don't worry, man...keep in mind this place is a great spot for locals, even greater for newbie locals. :)

[Dvipercop]

I could, in thoery host the three cast-offs....

Just wait till NWFest, then we'll see who the cast-offs are... :D I don't require much for lodging. If the need be, the back of my heep is relatively comfortable...

PDXXJNOOB, I was thinking along the same lines as you. I'd much rather go up the night before, than have to leave at 5am the day of. I'll PM you and JPARS to see where we want to meet up either way to convoy up.

...Maybe we could all head back there for a little BBQ/socializing after the run? Anybody interested?

That sounds like a great idea to me. No better way to work up an appetite than wheeling (hopefully no wrenching) all day.

edit: I realize this has no relevance to the thread at hand, but I just got done with my federal taxes and I'll be getting a hefty amount back. Some of which will go towards my name being a red font soon... :D

[bass2323]

Bass... there's a staging area there if you wanted just to park and go on a "Ride Along" I will have an open seat and there's a few others too.

I think I'm going to spend the day making my jeep taller. Thanks for the invite for the open seat, riding is the next best thing to wheelin, I'm just to busy that weekend anyways. Maybe in the next few weeks/months we can get something going up north, although I still want to try Tahuya and Evans.

I won't be able to make it. Was looking at a calendar today and realized how soon the 5th is. Too late to get the day off.

Maybe next time.

Not to much in Belfair. There is a sheri's right off of hwy 16 in port orchard.

221 Bravo Ter
Port Orchard, WA 98367

I did a city search, didn't really come up with anything else.

[jpars]

a few things

#1, when do i need to know for sure by and commit? i am almost 18 in high school, things come up fast.

#2, if i do go, which i truly really want to, i would love nothing more then to convoy with other pdxers.

#3, i have a part time job and as of right now ive got some money to blow. another paycheck on the 25th. this brings me to a question- get new mt/agressive tires before the trip, or like into a hitch or tow hooks, or, will this trip probably not need any of those?

and, for the record, its oregonians
:)

The place we're going to isn't much of a 'wheeling' spot to break the bank over. We appreciate the enthusiasm, but it can be a very quick place to run through, with most folks being done before lunch. I just want you Oregonians to understand that before coming all the way up...

That said, it's also not an 'official' run with registration and such. Just a group of folks getting together. You're either there or you're not. :)

The first things anyone should ever be worried about should be extraction points. GET YOUR TOW POINTS FIRST! I can't stress this enough. Tow points, your own stretch-type recovery strap, and a fullsize spare should be first on anyone's list.

[Avanteone]

We've met before either at the McDonald's or the Safeway parking lot.

Sounds like it'll be the younger Oregonians representing up there. None of the three of us are over 22! :D

Jpars, from what I'm hearing so far, our (PDXXJNOOB and myself) plan is to go up the night before and stay over at IXNAYXJ's house. That way we wont have to make the trip at 5 in the morning the day of. We'd love to have you come along just so we can meet another Oregon XJ'er and to up the presence of us "cast-offs". ;)

[bass2323]

Looks like I will be going afterall, I plan on taking the ferry instead of driving around since I get free ferry tickets. A couple of my buddys may tag along with there Jeeps to, just not for sure yet on them. My dad should be riding along to for his first wheeling trip.

i am seriously trying to make it work. im gonna have school monday morning in portland- but i am a 2nd semester senior........ i have a little leeway in choosing my priorities :)

also, ecksjay, the money is obviously going into the jeep no matter what :) so i just wanted to see what would be the best use of it and if it would have mattered for the run. if it is that easy of a run, i might get the new tires because im not about to buy a brand new hitch. ill wait and snag the right one from a junker

[CanMan]

What kinda Heeps?

I was also thinkin of bringing along the old man. But naaa.

Think a Mazda should come too? Naaa..

[bass2323]

yj tj and a xj, most likely just the tj if any of them show

[emtpiston]

im gonna try like hell to get the day off. theres a decent sit down restuarant in belfair to grab breakfast at called JR's i think. its right before the shell station or we can all meet in the QFC parking lot. like i said before i live up in poulsbo so for the guys hitting the ferry afterwards we can come back to my palce and have a BBQ. Im bringing my girl and a few friends so we should have some extra seats if someone needs it. Tayhua is big enough we can split up in groups and hit the different trails. should be fun

if anyone is interested we're going tomorrow for a possible overnighter. weather permiting but we're definitly gonna be there all weekend. need to try my new lift.

[PDeeXJ]

How much does the ferry cost?

[norcal420]

Don't think you'd need the ferry from PDX, but I believe it's $10.60 for 1 person/1 car/1 way. You can find out more here:

How much does the ferry cost?you will not need the ferry ride.

[swifty088]

Hey everyone, there is a decent place to eat in Belfair called Jimmy d's right off of hiway 3 going down the hill into belfair, should be able to accomodate a large group of us, would be willing to meet there as early as anyone wants to be there since i only live 10 min away, so if this sounds good to anyone let me know, looking forward to seeing all of you out there.

[swifty088]

Ps Jimmy D's is like 2 blocks from Safeway to meet up with the rest who dont make it for breakfast

[ECKSJAY]

[swifty088]

cool Phil just give me a time, and will be there.

[ECKSJAY]

cool Phil just give me a time, and will be there.

8am sounds good to us. Mark and I are meeting at least Eli at 7am at Costco in FedWay.

[swifty088]

8am sounds good, then can meet the with thosewho dont show up for breakfast at safeway at say 9 and leave at 930 or so, that will get us out there at a good time.

[Sniggs]

Bass2323 and norcal420 (and anyone else in the area), Phil and I plan on meeting Eli at the Federal Way Costco, right off I5 at 7:00 am Sunday, then we go on to Belfair for breakfast. You are welcome to join us. We will post Cell phone numbers Friday or Saturday night.

It's highly recommended that you have a CB Radio for any and all of these trips but it is not an absolute requirement.

Again, this is not a sanctioned NAXJA event. If a few other wheelers wanna go along they can.

[emtpiston]

well i got the day off so count me in. took the newly lifted xj down there yesterday. trails are all nicely cleared and not to much water but we'll see how long that lasts if it rains this week. the mud hole was down quite a bit so it was actually useable to people with out monster trucks. the south loop trail was really hairy, don't knw if id advise anyone with a stock rig that they care about to go down it but the north loop was just fine. all the side trails are looking good.

barring any natural disasters it should be a fun day.

[norcal420]

I'm down for that place.

Hell yeah. Mom & Pops > Mickey Ds.

8am sounds good to us. Mark and I are meeting at least Eli at 7am at Costco in FedWay.

I'll be rolling out around o-dark thirty, with a cute blonde in the passenger seat.

See everyone there.
















































The cute blonde is my daughter, you sick bastard.

8am sounds good to us. Mark and I are meeting at least Eli at 7am at Costco in FedWay.

7AM will do for me. I hope to see more than just me traveling with Phil and Mark to breakfast.
