[TORX]

Well I guess I'll be first...

I voted for Tahuya for the 7th and 8th. Tahuya is closer for me and from the pics of the last noob run it looked like a fun place. I have nothing planned for either weekend, the 7th and 8th is just closer :D. Even if a noob run for the portland people is planned I still plan on attending this run and meeting you guys.

The 7th is my aniversary, the 15th is my Bday. My wife would probably be more open to the 15th.

Maybe it could be a Bday present from her to let you come at least one of the weekends. :dunno:

Will we see you there at least though?

Just to let you know, the south loop of Tahuya is CLOSED due to a fire. The investigation is currently underway.

Will keep you guys posted on what's going on.

And with that, I vote for Reiter Trails.

[MY92XJ]

Hey the 15th is My B-Day Too !! guess we know what our parents were doing to stay warm in the winter :shocked:

You guys decide the date and I will try and be there. Although it would be cool to spend my Birthday wheeling.:sunshine:

If it doesn't get better, or opened by the end of the month, a revote will be in order for a different place.

How is Reiter anyways? Noob frendly, some hard stuff too? Camping or ?. More info will help.

Does anyone remember what loop we ran last time out there?

[Blkxjkrawler]

Reiter has a pretty good mix, I think its probably a little tougher overall than Tahuya would be. I dont believe there is any on site camping. If memory serves me correctly, there is a campground (State, I think) just down the road in Gold Bar. If Tahuya is out I think this would be a good second choice. I have been there a couple of times with rigs from stock to locked and everyone had a good time

I can escort you guys through reiter. My buddy Mike can do the same and take a group in his XJ too. There are campsites around the area on RT2. Or you can primitive camp at either of the two parking areas.

Reiter trails has everything from mild to wild. We could do two groups, a "stock" and a "hardcore" group. Once you see Mike's XJ, you will understand by what we mean when we say hardcore.

Reiter is a BLAST though. With as dry as it is, you can really test your abilities and your rig safely.

If you guys want to do a pre-run to check out the trails, let me or FiFo on this board know. If any of you want you can PM me for my number and I can take you out and show you around. I am always out there and would love to escort your guys through the woods. (I won't be available from sept 22 to oct 9, I'm going to run the Rubicon) But Mike (FiFo) will be available.

Just look for this crazy fool (Mike). http://www.timbertamers.org/runs2006/rimrock/DSC02057.jpg

i dont care, long as its between the 12th and count 20 days after that lol. i just wanna go jeepin. plus the new project needs to go on a noob run once i fix the no start issue. mebbe we could incorporate a wrench fest? i have all parts, just needs installing now.

I've gotten tired of driving to Jack's Pass and Reiter

[Sniggs]

...must...resist...urge...to...


AAAAAAAUGH!!!

:eek:

[bass2323]

With Tahuya being more noob friendly I voted for it, but if the south loop is closed I change my vote to Reiter. There is stuff there for rigs like Avanteone's and xjoe's as well as stock rigs and everything between. I'm sure 2xtreme wants to tackle the stairstep and ecksjay you want to go down the poop chute in the dark again... I'm sure KarlVP and I can get a few people from nw-wheelers as well as ourselves to help show people around.

[ECKSJAY]

ecksjay you want to go down the poop chute in the dark again...

Weeeeeeeeeeee!!!

If I run Isabel I'm sure as hell not doing it in 6 hours again. NO WAY.

[KarlVP]

You could run Trail of Doom and The bonus line in that kind of time. Plus still have time to run the Poop Chute in the dark.

[CanMan]

As my rig was disabled(fuel pump issue), I went out to Tahuya Saturda with a few friends, and thier Yota and Mazda.. Checked out the trails. The south loop was closed(already told about it), which is a bummer. The real only fun trail, at least to me. There was a crew out there working where the fire was at, and I should of asked them how long the investigation stuff was going to last and when it would reopen. But alas, I thought about it on the way home.:doh: (All burnt up near the rock gardens at the end of that trail)

The mud hole was all dried up. Duh, lack of rain. There is some decient stuff, which still should be good for stock rigs. At the end of the month, Ill see if the south loop opens back up.

[mud1059]

OK I was only at Tahuya once in a ATV and we parked at a place where there was a big waterhole to the front and people camping to the left. Is this where we'd be camping? Also, all I really remember was gravel roads and some minor quad trails. I saw the last noob run pics and I saw the gravel roads and a pile of rocks. Is that about it? If 311A at Evans is about a 5 of 10 what's the toughest trail at Tahuya?

Looks like more and likley the weekend of the 14th/15th, Either at Tahuya(if the south loop opens back up by then) Or a revote my the end of the month, not about the date, but location(once again, if the south loop at Tahuya is not open).

[ladywolf]

well, count me out. once again, started counting down the days and they extended me to stay in iraq (again). yay. looks like it'll have to be another time for me. have fun guys.


-Kris

[GreenbeltXJ]

never mind i'll be working...

[Rufio]

what about reiter pit, or walker valey orv park? or something around that area? i cant make it to most of your guy's events cuz of the distance away :dunno:

[Blkxjkrawler]

Reiter has been discussed as an alternative if the south loop of tahuya doesnt reopen in time. Walker doesnt really have all that much anymore, lots of logging closures, and whats there isnt really noob friendly

[reckless]

which weekend in october is the big sale at 4wheel parts? I hope its not the same weekend of the run..

Call and ask them? :dunno:

[Avanteone]

which weekend in october is the big sale at 4wheel parts? I hope its not the same weekend of the run..

Who cares?

You can buy 4 tires now at normal prices... or wait for the "SALE" where they jack up the prices to buy 3 and get the fourth for "FREE" :)

[IXNAYXJ]

Sooooooo what have you guys figured out on this???? Date?? Place?? :rattle:

[PornstaR]

Ok since no one is watching this, lets make it in the middle of the 2 and say evans. There is a variety of trails there.

Just cause one place picked is out Key Penn. and other is edge of Idaho and still no idea what one ya goin to.....

Other than the fact that Evans is no place for noobs especially those with straight street rigs. And even worse now that it's been rainin. 2 weeks ago would have been fine. However I do feel a place should be decided rather expediantly(sp)

[PornstaR]

I do see your point, but we arent tryin to keep them too straight are we??? LOL!! Well hopefully someone pics a time and a place soon so I can plan if I wanna go.

[IXNAYXJ]

and other is edge of Idaho and still no idea what one ya goin to.....:dunno:

[streetpirate]

must i remind you that us pansey a$$ mofos with straight street rigs dont like door dings, let alone rock/stump damage

I think I'm in love. I think you need to talk to my wife. I can't get that 1+1=2 talk through to her.

[FiFo]

As someone who would like to go wheeling with a couple of fellow XJs, let me through my 2c in.

If this is truly a noob run, and there are people with stock rigs who don't want to get body damage then Tahuya is the only place I know of that I would really recommend. A few months ago I wheeled with a guy in a totally stock MJ there and he didn't have much trouble at all.

That being said, judging from the poll above, is the weekend of the 14/15th at Tahuya the plan? If so I would like to make plans for attending, though I wouldn't exactly consider myself a Noob anymore.

[IXNAYXJ]

With the date fast approaching, are we getting closer to nailing something down?

-----Matt-----

[PornstaR]

What the HELL did you just say?

Was saying the areas picked were not even around the same area one in Western Washington and the other on the far side of Eastern Washington. Just tryin to get a figure for where ya'll planning on going since I would like to attend if I know what place we are going instead of this last min. stuff............... seems so undicided. :wow: hasta :scared:

[IXNAYXJ]

Was saying the areas picked were not even around the same area one in Western Washington and the other on the far side of Eastern Washington.Still not sure what you're talking about. :dunno: Tahuya is near Bremerton, about a 1.5 hour drive from Seattle, and Liberty is just East of Snoqualmie pass...about a 1.5 hour drive from Seattle. Not exactly on the far side of Eastern Washington.

Though I do agree we need to start firming this up.

-----Matt-----

[FiFo]

Like IXNAYXJ said Liberty is off Blewett pass, just east of the mountains. Liberty is more challenging then Tahuya, not sure how much there is there for a totally stock, or close to stock rig to do. I'm not even remotely stock though so what ever you guys want is cool with me. I just want to run with some XJs instead of all these cute little CJ/YJ/TJs I usually find myself surrounded by.

Is there some kind of official type person who can say, this is where and when? If there is going to be a lot of stock-ish type rigs I would say Tahuya though. Anyone can wheel Tahuya.

[CanMan]

Ok. Looks like the majority of the vote is Tahuya for the weekend of the 14th/15th. It will be held there, if anyone knows if the south loop is opened back up.

If it has not, I would like to see it at Reiter. If anyone is farmiliar with those trails, let me know.

If I don't get an answer by Friday, Ill be doing a run out there to check that evening/night.

[bass2323]

I know some of the trails at Reiter, KarlVP knows more than me, I believe he's running the con right now but I'm sure he'll chime in when he gets back. If anyone wants to check out Reiter a great time to do it will be on the 7th during the clean up. Clean up in the morning, lunch then guided trails in the afternoon.

Ya, karlVP is running the Rubicon with a bunch of friends of ours. I don't believe he's coming back until the 5th. I've run most if not all of the trails down there. We usually run the back door trail and then stack up when we have the Noob runs. The Cable trail and the Wall trail might also be doable, great view at the end of the Wall trail, make for a nice finish to a day.

[zthang43]

I'd be interested in Tahuya on the 7th; my wife and I will be down there for our anniversary anyway.

I've never been there though, usually I go to Walker Valley or North Fork before it was shut down.

[PornstaR]

Ahhh well someone will prolly wait till 6:30pm Friday the 6th to post the 7th and 8th are the dates to go.................. i hate last min deals :confused1 :confused1 :confused1 :confused1 :confused1

The poll has been closed for a few days now. The dates will be 14th and 15th at Tahuya, or Reither. I am going to check out Tahuya on Friday night, for a simple 2wd night run, to see if the place is worthwhile.

[bass2323]

It looks like they opened up the closed loop, I just read a thread on another board about it.

[Bohican]

Iffin I can make it, what's the minimum requirements? Stocker with front/rear recovery points & a tow strap (and, uhh, radials)? Or, uhh, can I get by without front recovery points?

[bass2323]

I didnt have recovery points on the last one, but if your stock you should have them.

[XJCasper]

Only reason I can see worth having two points is if Mud Lake is at Hightide. Doubtful.

[GreenbeltXJ]

i went to tahuya on saturday,all the trails are open, there is a little mud but not like before.
