Expedition runs

[chero-car]

I like that there is a good amount of interest in this. Since we all know Ryan is probably the most known "adventurous", him and I will try to coordinate different routes and target areas. Hopefully this is something that wont be just a bunch of "web wheelers" and people will actually show up to.

Not quite, it's more about reliability. Would you drive your Jeep to Moab on a days notice?

I would.

Okay... Maybe I had more then a days notice before the Moab trips. But this does sounds like a good time, definitely interested.

I'd be down in the Woman's jeep. As far as the trip you guys were talking about... I would wait till spring There is a massive amount of snow around 3000 ft.

 

[chero-car]

Im in that area alot spring/summer/fall I think it would be more fun in the snow. Its no where close to 3000 ft. Most high spots in that area max out around 2600 ft.

 

[BPB]

Granted that it is in a different area but two weeks ago at 2650 I was pushing snow over the hood of my MJ. But it all depends on snow conditions.

Ya, for instance, TSF can have 3 feet of snow while this part of the coast range has none.

Where I was stuck last weekend, about 40 miles from Valsetz at 2200 feet had 2 feet of snow. Mt Hebo today has 3 feet of snow at 3100 feet. The Coast Range gets less snow than the foothills of the Cascades

Judging from the route, it includes pretty substantial wheeling on trails that might not be passable for anything wider than a motorcycle...

It's doable in a stock 4x4, assuming there's no snow. I ran it along with 2 mostly stock rigs. BPB posted a link to the trip report just before your post. Check it out.

Great thread! I'm digging all of these, the closer to Portland the better for us

The whole idea behind this is to get away from the valley. There are a few of us that want to explore alot of eastern oregon.
