The Fellowship of PNW Tacomas | PDX Area Wheeling

Man, that's rough. I definitely recommend buying from them if you can. I bought my Maxtrax there instead of ordering online.

 

Damn that really sucks that they lost all that, I'll definitely look at them always good to help local business especially ones that take a big hit like this one.

 

I drove by that fire on my way into town yesterday. I didn't realize it was Josh's place till I saw his post on instagram and put the 2+2 together. Hopefully His insurance makes him whole again.

 

sounds like he has good insurance but it won’t cover everything from what I read...

 

Side note...

What passes/licenses do you guys buy to go enjoy the forest/mts/rivers/lakes in the area? it’s January gotta re-up

Currently have my Oregon ATV and Oregon waterway permit for my kayaks

planning on getting
my state parks
Metro
Fishing with salmon tags
Hunting with deer tags
NW forest pass

anything else you guys get?

 

I always get a hunting fishing shellfish combo, discover pass, I have a lifetime washington and federal parks pass from my time in the army. But that's a bout it this is my first year with an off road capable vehicle (left the ex wife and started living like I wanted to) so any suggestions on what else to get lemme know.

 

Maybe a snowpark permit( they are needed till the end of april I believe)

I like to have a tag for cougar also. Never know when you will run across one in the woods

 

Yea that’s an easy one day of... like 7 places where I live sell them

 

Just give them a blank check, So many fees for everything now.

 

Josh is a standup guy and I can’t say anything but good things for LoLo Overland.

 

Look I don’t enjoy the fees either but I wanna enjoy my life and that means getting outdoors

 

I agree with enjoying life and getting out and enjoying the great outdoors. Fortunately I can pay those fees and fishing and hunting license for the family. I also think about other friends and family who can’t afford to pay the other fees to enjoy the outdoors a little more.

 

So very true

 

It’s not cheap, that’s for sure - I just got my sportsman’s pac for the year. At least the money is going to good use though, was listening to a MeatEater podcast that broke down how DFW’s across the country get their funding.

 

Keep it simple.

 

Anyone know of any good service roads to explore in the Mt. Hood area?

 

Tough after dec 1 because a bunch of them turn into snowmobile and cross county ski trails

I would start by looking online to see which ones are open to trucks first...

 

Here is the table. Like @Toywoodsguy82 said, it’s tough this time of year.

Just past the snow bunny parking lot, on the right side of the road (driving eastbound) there’s a road. You’ll definitely need something snow and Offroad capable though and there’s lots of idiots that’ll be stuck. I drove down about 2 miles in my truck with just 265/70/17 at full tire pressure (35psi). Definitely needed to use 4L and did get stuck momentarily twice. Once while turning around and once when driving around a vehicle that was stuck. I buried myself, but was able to back up enough to get another run at it and hit a different rut. I went with a buddy in his Jeep and we had straps, and shovels. I believe the chevron in government camp has air, but I’d check beforehand. Be safe, have fun, don’t go alone, and always turn around if you’re uncomfortable.

 

Where is this? Trillium is the next road on the right past snow bunny.
