The Fellowship of PNW Tacomas | PDX Area Wheeling

wish i could ive TKD championships this weekend so ill be tied up

 

Whats up Taco Folk. Who wants to make wheeling plans?

 

I’ve been hitting Browns Camp once a week after work, usually on the trails from 6-9:30pm during June and July when the days are long. Planning on going tomorrow.

July 4th weekend at Browns Camp is usually very crowded but I could be interested in early morning Saturday July 5th or Sunday July 6th.

 

I've never been, what trails do you run there?

 

Where do you usually go? I’ve done Jones Creek near Camas Washington once but it felt short compared to the length and amount of trails at Browns Camp (Tillamook forest). Also been to Post Canyon near Hood River but the chance of running into impassable snow is still likely.

At Browns Camp, the typical easy/medium trails that most people hit are University Firepower & Cedar Tree. Firebreak 5 is more difficult but also frequently run due to proximity to hwy 6.

If you are willing to venture out further, there are a lot of easy/medium rated trails to drive on. Dog Leg, Hood Raiser, Hogs Back, Archers Firebreak.

Most of my wheeling exp is DEEP snow wheeling, but im ready to hit some rocks and mud.

Im definitely down for a trip to Browns camp. Im free on Sunday or any day after work next week.

 

How built are you guys? Would love to join sometime if I can keep up.

I’ve got 32s, a lift, and a winch bumper, otherwise stock on open diffs.

I’ve messed around at Browns once and had a good time. Same at La Dee Flats. Obviously wasn’t trying anything crazy though

 

Open diffs, 35" tires, sliders and a winch . So pretty much stock other than tire size

 

Got the day off tomorrow, Anyone down to hit some of the trails up at Larch mountain OHV area?

 

Fellas, let's get a group run going!

 

This weekend?

 

Im Game, where we thinking and what day?

 

I know my way around Browns Camp, but otherwise Im open to any other suggestions to go somewhere else.

 

wish i had a truck still, just sold my Tacoma, kids and dogs don't fit so well, so plan on a 4runner or a Gx460 probably here closer to November once the wife and my bonus hit, and I get my raise, since I may finance for a bit

 

Let's do Browns camp this Saturday?

 

I’d join you guys at Browns if you want another rando.

Heads up, though, would have to be in the morning— all OHV trails in Tillamook SF are closed from 1pm-8pm due to fire danger

Sheriff was enforcing it a few weeks ago when I was there riding

 

I'd be down for a morning sesh.

Alternatively we can do Larch mountain OHV if you guys feel so inclined

 

I’d prefer Browns this weekend since it’s closer to me and I have plans in the early evening anyway.

I’d like to check out Larch Mountain area in the future though, it was mostly closed the one time I was up there

 

Is it just the oregon offroad permit that I need for Browns camp?

 

The ATV one?
