Lets hit a trail!

well i FINALLY installed my lift this past weekend so lets go hit a trail! prerunner friendly of course

im in corvallis and dont know anywhere to go but if someone knows a nice place, or wants to get started on organizing this lets do it. id love to take my truck out somewhere besides the fred myers parking lot

im assuming everyones weekends are pretty much free since ive got school, and most people work weekdays.

write down where a good place to go is, and what day would work for you and maybe we can get this thing going.

 

well, im only like 4 hrs from corvallis, but I think winter in Oregon is going to mean muddy or snowy trails.... neither are very prerunner friendly... Maybe hit the dunes/beach in florence? Just remember you'll need to air your tires down and only stop when pointing downhill so you can get going again.

 

how far is florence from corvallis. if anyone snowboard i go to meadows almost every weekend

 

All the cool stuff I knew in Corvallis is behind gates now.

A little over 2 hours


Doesn't sand destroy vehicles? it looks fun but man I'm not looking to rust out.


For other options, I could try taking a look around Goat Mountain again... that's in Estacada, about 1.5 hours from Corvallis. Let me know and I'll do a scouting run.

Barlow Road would be a good bet, but it's in Government Camp, almost 3 hours.

 

Meh, its not too bad. Just dont drive in the wet sand on the beach where its saturated with salt water and then give it a rinse when you get home. If you stick to the dunes, then you're golden and I wouldnt even worry about it.

 

yeah government camp is right at mt. hood isnt it? and i know estacada is on the way there. right around portland. id be down for anywhere that i wont be constantly getting stuck. from hawaii, so they only off roading ive ever done is in the sand, so WHEN i get stuck it will be due to driver error haha

 

Well, to give you a better idea

I'll try to see what I can scout out on Sunday then - at least at goat.


Moving south, there's shotgun creek, but I have never been there.

 

alright thats cool. its been sunny like this whole week so im hoping that maybe the trails wont be that muddy.

 

im out in Junction city, go to school at LBCC and OSU. Shotgun creek is fomr more quads and DB. There are some trails for trucks but not many. But you can always find something to ride on their. Also outside Junction city there are some but not really pre runner friendly. If ya want to do a coast run to florence id glady go with ya. Pretty fun for a day to cruise around. Plus the coast aint more the 60 miles TOPS from ya

 

what is florence/coast area like? just dirt roads?

 

HAHA you have never been i take it. WOW lol Biggest ocean side dunes in the world that you can access in a rig. You drive on the beach, up dunes through the ocean if ya wanted haha. Basically you cruise all around but are on sand. If its going to be nice next weekend man, id show ya around, especially if we got a few others to go.

 

Sounds fun. I might be in depending on when and if I have to work. Let me know what you get figured out.

 

haha yeah ive never been lol. so im guessing the sand is hard packed if its pre runner friendly? ive driven in some deep sand before, but that was back home in hawaii with my 4wd 4runner.

 

if its wet is pretty hard, if its dry and kinda windy out there then its quite fluffy. here's a pic of me on my quad to give ya an idea



last pic was just for fun

 

one of my friends does have a quad. maybe he'd let me borrow it except i dont have a ramp to put it in the bed lol

 

they have concrete loading/unloading ramps at the staging areas... or you could just back your truck up to a dune to load it when you're done.

 

or do what i did, just find the closest person and go, "hey want a beer, help me pick this up" lol jsut lift it into your truck, easy as pie lol

 

Hahaha x2

 

i also snowboard, if ya cant tell from my SIG lol. You pretty good?

 

i like to think im pretty good lol. i can do a 360 and hit rails

what kind of board do you got?
