July 12th 2015 Tahuya Day Trip

Trust me i feel exactly the same way! Im being "taxed" on my already taxed public land just to use something i have a right to use! But id rather pay the stupid 35 bucks or whatever it was than get a $100 ticket.

I dont mind having to pay for camp sites though......well campsites with facilities. I hate having to pay to get a permit just to let me camp somewhere.

 

Hey all, I'm going to be a bit late due to some stuff at work I had this morning. ETA for me is about 10:00

 

Sorry I didn't update the OP thread until now. I had to do wedding stuff all day yesterday. However, I am currently on a ferry on my way there. See you guys between 9:30 and 10 o'clock

 

I'm back. Pizza in the oven, old school kung fu on the TV.

Despite a friendly tree tackle, I think everyone came out OK. David, keep us posted if you need anything.

 

Haha glad no one was in between me and said tree. My truck spotted that tree and just had to have a little kiss.

Oh well, still a fun time and now an opportunity to upgrade to color-matched grill surround.

 

Was great meeting everyone! Nice, fun, and easy day out on the trail.

Glad nobody really broke anything too! Well minus David but least that should be somewhat easy to fix.

My front IFS skid and driver side slider had some scratches. One nice foot long and about 1/16th deep scratch on the IFS. But other than that nothing on my end!

Now to get the 285's on and finish up a bunch of other small items before the big trip at the end of the month!

 

Well that certainly sounds like a lot different outcome than last year. Good to hear!

 

The puddle was completely dry so no risk of anything there! Actually the only water we saw was on the road to Tahyua! Wasnt the most technical but id say we all learned stuff. Like @northwesttaco learning about being a parent lol

 

Those 285's will make a huge difference, I didn't scrape anything

hahaha if thats what being a parent is like its going to be a breeze! Thanks again for letting Wyatt ride with me, definitely entertaining

 

LOL or just more pick better lines. There was one or two lines id redo if i could. To much left when i needed more right

mhm so i should forget that "its more stressful driving with a kid" comment [/QUOTE]

 

Someone else's kid! Id be killed by his mom if something happened to him, if it was my own Id have a fighting chance of living..

 

Hey now! Not my fault its harder to drive with someone elses kid than to navigate a challenging (well for out trail at least!) obstetrical!

 

Haha im just giving you crap good thing you have a good skid plate though! Came in use today

 

Had a blast today. Could you guys share your pics/vids here so I can show my friends/wife?

 

Ill get some pics up here in a bit. Got some of you Bryan going down that first hill

 

Videos tomorrow, I have two short ones. For now, pics. The first one is a @Benson X tribute. It doesn't show much in the pic, but try looking at the jeep in the left of the frame to get an idea of depth!

 

Also, don't forget to clean out your air filters. I'm going to have to scrub out the aFe I was using tomorrow since I forgot to put in an OEM (OEM cloth filters are SOO betta on the dusty trail)

 

Brian has a new best friend. Wyatt had a blast riding with you. I bet your ears still hurt from all his endless talking...

& Video's!

 

Was a great time yesterday! Looking forward to another run...

Here's the few pictures I snapped
