NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Shit, honestly I even don't know who lives where! I was in Spokane from Friday till Monday because my Unkos funeral was Saturday and we had family from Hawaii to Vegas fly in. Spent some quality time with them all before they flew back this morning.

 

@Benson X said he wanted to go out in the woods, little did we know what he meant was he wanted to come out in the woods.

 

So where are the pics??

 

See above, I had some other pics but this is the only one suitable to describe this trip.

 

Lol I saw. Your trip sounds more adventurous in @Benson X 's description than that picture..

 

Here are some teasers... More to come

 

Damn I didn't see anyone in while I was in eburg, or the whole stretch of 90wb from Vantage to Preston. I did see @AWilson013 leaving the Safeway at about 10:10am Saturday morning.

 

I was there but didn't see any of you guys! I was in the taco too.. parked on the left side of the parking lot

 

Now that sounds like a good time. Never explored that area. Would you mind posting your route? All forest service roads? Any difficult terrain?

 

Here's the roundabout route that we took - we did take some detours and different routes:

Mostly FS roads until Bethel Ridge. Mud Springs, Kaner Flats, Manastash and Quartz Mtn. all had their own difficult sections (hill climbs, tight curves in the trees, rocky sections etc.) but nothing too extreme.

 

As long as you dont mind body panels getting tender kisses from trees heh heh, no dents this time, but I was damn close. My snorkel head did get pretty smashed and I lost 3 mud flaps.

 

I bent a wheel, smashed another brake light, broke a hinge and trim piece on my canopy, and self-clearanced my fender flares a little more.

A few more teaser pics:

 

Great photos. You need to start a calendar

 

Trippy paint job or rogue shadows?

And the bottom photo looks like post snorkel damage...

 

Thanks Ryan. Most of those were cell phone pics with some retouching, but I know David (@mutilatedjak) also has some great pics/vids he will be posting when they're ready - it might be a little bit, but well worth the wait.

Just shadows...they do look pretty trippy though.

 

OOOOOO Look what I made!!! (with help from my stepdad - welder)

 

Thank you! Looks like an awesome route; for years I've been trying to find some kind of long-distance trail to cover/camp. How long did it take you guys?

Looks beautiful! Sorry to hear about the added character to the rigs. You think a 1st gen would be a bit easier to squeeze in?

 

We gave ourselves 4 days / 3 nights - but the same route could be done in 3 days. A 1st Gen is definitely more nimble so you shouldn't have a problem weaving through the trees. My damage was due to carelessness and not paying attention.

So, as I was leaving school, a guy said " nice brodozer dude!"
That's good, right?
