    Secondary air filter removal, K&N drop in, Removed front mud flaps, Toyota all weather matts, skid plate, bug guard. Bilstein 5100's all around fronts set at 2.5", OME add a leaf, Goodyear Wrangler Authority 265/70/17, stubby 6.5" antenna, smoked tail lights, blacked out badges.
    Some friends and I are trying to plan a fall camping trip based mostly around doing light wheeling with some intermediate parts. Think forest service roads with the occasional technical bit. A trail that would take 2 days to complete would be ideal with the occasional place to pull over and camp for the night. We live in Washington. Any suggestions are appreciated.

    This site has a few trails on it-- they look a bit short in terms of what you're looking for, maybe do one camp at the end of it and then do another the next day...?
    Hope it helps

    where in WA are you? I'm interest in hitting up any spot in Northern Cascades. I'm also interested in checking out Moses Lake Sand dunes OHV park.

    I'm looking for something like you mentioned, along with camping over night or for the weekend.
    I'm in Bellingham and I'm ready to head out one of these days

    WABDR is your answer. Let me know if you guys plan a trip somewhere like this. I'm in Bham.

    I was going to make this suggestion as well. Start up in Chelan and spend the first night around Lion's Rock just north of Ellensburg. Spend your second night in the wooded area just before you hit HWY 410, or in one of the sites there in the Naches area, a couple miles west of where the trail intersects HWY 410.

    If you just wanted to head home after the second night you could push from Ellensburg to the wooded area just before Bethell Ridge. That would extend your driving that second day by a few hours, but you'd just have an hour or so before intersecting HWY 12 the next morning.

    You could run trails in Liberty, Manastash, Naches, and Bethel Ridge depending on how crazy you wanted to get, and how far off the path you wanted to travel. Or you could just stay on the path and enjoy the scenery and a few, stretching the truth a bit here, "technical" spots that pop up along the way.
