Precise1 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Well now, it didn't take long for that bug to bite, now did it?? But then, you really do owe us a lot of pictures... I'm just glad to have been part of the group effort. Sorry, but it's simply too far for me to take seriously; if you ever find yourself in NorCal...

beavis0076 Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I might be game for the weekend after this one. I'm going fishing in EW this weekend. I'll check back in here and see what the word is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tungsten Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Damn! Why does no one on the east coast ever want to go offroading? BTW this WD21 kicks ass offroad, even in stock specs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-7wnhcYvSs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a joke. I had a 94 Explorer and to put it over a Jeep, Pathfinder, and a Toyota on the trails is crazy. And I can't remember the last time I saw an S10 Blazer on the trails in Washington. Wow...

B I think it would be cool to setup a trail of NPORA members from the West Coast to the East Coast and back and then setup a roadtrip where fello NPORA'ers could tag along for a piece as we passed through their state. Maybe some NPORA members would offer a place to stay for the nights along the way too. Could be cool... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some mediocre bs and then On clearance "The Nissan... was the highest of the bunch" in the mud: "Traction was good in all trucks, though the Nissan did hold and edge" On the Explorer: "Novices will appreciate its intelligent push to touch 4wd" - LOL LOL LOL just ask anybody that owned an older Explorer. That "intelligent" push-button 4wd motor almost guaranteed took a s___ on them, and often when they really needed it, i.e. winter, mud, etc. My bro had to have his towed because of that trash. Good on ya Ford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have my winch installed too. I ended up having to use the Warn M8000 (great winch) because the CSI winch would not mount in the ARB Bumper. I am flexible on the time if you that is hard for you. You can let me know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Pickles Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 what time saturday? If its where I think it is It may take me 2 hrs to get there.Is it hard, I'm kinda beginner level= likes dirt moderate articulation and bumps lol From Tacoma, its only about 30-45 min. You go across the Narrows Bridge, then just past Port Orchard you take a left onto Hwy 3, and go to Belfair about 10miles I think west. You can also cut across the Purdy Bridge just past Gig Harbor, but while its a little shorter you're doing like 35mph on a winding road for miles and miles. People tend to meet at Safeway right on the highway as you enter town on Hwy3, then head to the trail about another 10-15min up the road. I made it from my house in Bonney Lake (20 min to Tacoma) to that Safeway in 1 hour flat a couple weekends ago. The trail is not too hard if you don't want it to be. You can take a stock rig through just fine, then its up to you to take more interesting trails if you choose. Have fun this weekend guys, I'm out due to prior plans. Packie, I may still be up for the 7th though, I'll know for sure the closer it gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY1PATH Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 (edited) Ok the safeway by 3 & 300? I can be there arround 1030 or 1100. Here's my phone if you don't get ahold of me by tomorrow 650-200-5282 Much closer than I thought; somehow when I googled I wound up with Goldbar off of i2. here's a map I made of my directions(thanks pickles) Lemie know if I'm wrong. http://maps.google.com/maps?daddr=23961+NE...mp;t=h&z=10 Mind If I invite a friend & his gf?

MY1PATH Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 (edited) ok, So I was right the first time, Pickles why'd you send me the wrong way? It'll take me about 2 hrs. so more like 1130 or noon ok? Edited October 16, 2009 by MY1PATH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJim Posted October 17, 2009 Author Share Posted October 17, 2009 ok, So I was right the first time, Pickles why'd you send me the wrong way?It'll take me about 2 hrs. so more like 1130 or noon ok? Noon is fine. That takes some pressure off me too. I went up to Walker Valley in a hard rain storm tonight in the dark and found a really cool spot to play. I found this clay pit that has an extreme narrow climb up one side with sharp turn on steep hilltop to come down in narrow climb down the other side. Hair raising and really cool. I would love to have been able to video that, but it was too dark. Next time... Anyway, I am looking forward to tomorrow... Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
