Lets hit a trail!

hahaha nice nice, I ride a 161 option with drake SS (super sport) bindings. I ride bachelor A LOT. And willamette when my broke friends want to go. HAHA

 

yeah bachelor is a nice mountain to ride. i got a hood pass though. but yeah i HATE willamette. the only way i go there is if one of my friends drive me. they love it cus its 20 bucks on fridays with that shell gas thing but i dont think its that good of a mountain

 

yea its aint the best, but there are a lot of spots i know on the mtn that knowone goes which is nice, but it does suck. haha Ive been to hood a few times and ski bowl as well. I wouldnt mind doing a run to hood soon.

 

update from me - haven't been able to get out to do anything due to a whompin' schedule. I have no idea what this weekend brings but just maybe I can escape.

 

im down to hit those dunes one it gets more spring like weather. i would want you guys having to pull me out every couple minutes haha

 

shit man, IM SOOOO DOWN. make a day trip. As long as it aint during spring break when that place is packed haha. But whenever the weathers nice im willing to tug ya out. But if i get stuck then we got a problem lol

 

im down for any weekend. although i think after my spring break would probably be the best, march 19-29. driving up to whistler....again!! maybe if a bunch of guys want to go the first week of april we could get a little meet or something

 

yea man a lil meet would be sick. even if its only a few guys, still better then nothing.

 

Hey, congrats on getting your new suspension on.. I know you've been after that for awhile now.

Anyway, my vote is for Mt. Hood. Seems pretty well located for most everyone on this thread to get to.. and the snow is all but gone down in Govt. Camp meaning lots of terrific backroad drives... like Badger Lake. Oh man, this is one awesome drive!! Check it out -->

I can assure you I've seen plenty of 2WD pickups do it with no problems. All that is required is some decent traction on your tires and a minimal lift for that extra inch or so of ground clearance (mainly for the last 6 miles which are pretty rocky). It's about a 50 mile trail ride and so scenic and remote and ends at a beautiful alpine glacier fed lake. Well worth it and a lot of fun getting there.

I'm good to go for Saturday (tomorrow) or Sunday this weekend. We can meet up in Govt. Camp in front of the Huckleberry Inn, as about 9am? Lots of parking and easy to find (after all the town only has 1 road, haha).

Who's in on this?

 

OK, so I started a new thread for anyone who wants to join me on this ride. I decided to do it tomorrow, Saturday. Meet Gvt Camp Huckleberry Inn at 9am.

The weather is going to be great. I know you all NEED a drive like this, have been craving it, wanting it, so.. Come on, who's in.

 

Hey, I'm wheeling down in Corvallis this weekend. I have a freind who works for ODF doing forest firefighting and has the keys to all the gates.

 

Hmm, I think I've found a new best friend. I have company coming, otherwise that would have been fun.

They gated the road I used to drive on in high school up in Mill City. It wasn't a very tough road at all, but it's very sad that I waited this long to get a truck of my own and I can never take it on the roads I grew up with.
