On Saturday I went to go check out the Old Barlow Road with a couple friends. As expected the trailhead off NF35 was snowed in pretty bad. It will likely be a few months before this opens up.



NF48 was also a little snowed in at the Hwy. 35 junction so we went back to 26 and hopped on to Barlow at the NF43 junction.




From there, we went North a few miles until some deep snow drifts turned us back. Barlow from NF43 - South was void of any snow and the road was in pretty good condition, we even saw a few campers out that way.




A few miles past Boulder Ditch there were some large trees over the road that we could not cut through and that was the end of the line. The tree in the background is huge and it will likely be there for sometime. We were going detour on a side road but it was getting late.

The more remote and primitive, the better. Would prefer a river campsite but lake would do as well. :)

We'll be taking scouting trips, so if anyone knows of a great place to explore, I would be extremely grateful.

Followed my nose for a while, chasing the most appealing-looking turns and ended up on National Forest Road 4517 roughly here (47.18367515022502,-121.10838890075684), at which point I turned off onto a nice rolling dirt road that ran for miles under the power lines.

I'm a conscientious overlander, and I always look for signs that would indicate I shouldn't be somewhere. The only thing I could find were some directional markers posted here and there, and at one point a sign indicating that this must be a dogsled route in the winter. Came across one ATV and a couple of motorcycles and beyond that didn't see another person all day.

I ended up having to turn around a few miles in once the trail crossed a stream, but I can see from Google maps that there are miles more trail to check out.

Has anyone been out in this area? Are 4x4 vehicles even allowed here? I certainly don't want to be "that guy", but could find no indications of anything for or against. ]]> Where to Explore acme http://www.pnwadventures.com/forum/where-explore/24851-exploring-near-easton-cle-elum.html <![CDATA[[Trip Report] Beverly Dunes Clean-up and Camp-out - May 4th - 6th, 2012]]> http://www.pnwadventures.com/forum/completed-trips/24850-beverly-dunes-clean-up-camp-out-may-4th-6th-2012-a.html Tue, 08 May 2012 17:35:24 GMT *Beverly Dunes Clean-up and Camp-out* Report and photos by Clay Graham...

On Friday May 4th, 2012 a lot of Eastern Washington Adventures members meet up at Beverly Dunes to camp for the weekend. The members did a few runs during the day and a night run. The wind made it a little cold.

On Saturday May 5th, 2012 volunteers met up at the Beverly Dunes parking area around 10 AM for the Beverly Dunes Clean-up hosted by Yakima/Kittitas Forest Watch Association (a division of Eastern Washington Adventures) with cooperation with the Department of Natural Resources. Once everyone sign in they headed out to pick up trash across the ORV area.

The clean up only took a few hours and then everyone got to play. Some that came just for the day went out on the first group run of the day. There were a few more runs before dinner. For dinner Icesis & Barbie cooked us a great Mexican dinner in celebration of Cinco de Mayo.

On Sunday May 6th, 2012 we woke up to a great day. It was warm and the wind was not blowing. We did a few runs before most people headed for home. A few stayed another night since the weather was so nice.

Thank you to everyone that came out to help with the clean up. Thank you Icesis and Barbie for the Cinco de Mayo dinner and Jeepscum for sharing his Sunday breakfast with us.

Dynatrac Pro44 Unlimited front axle housing with 5.13 geats, RCVProformance cv axle shafts, Dynatrac ball joints, and ARB air locker. In the rear I am installing a Dynatrac Trail 60 with the Pro rock upgrades. also 5.13 gears, ARB air locker. I am installing a Rock Krawler 3.5" x factor mid arm suspension systemm and an Jeepswag OBA system. Also Tom Woods Custom Driveshafts front and rear. Changing from the stock CV shafts to U joints. I have to fab up a front bumper yet for a XRC 8000 lbs. winch. I already have fab'ed some steel flat fenders for it and I still need to fab a rear.bumper with a swingout tire carrier. This should make the Jeep very offeoad worthy and should last for a long time. Being that I don't do hard core wheelin' but more exploring.

I was looking for a suburban but this deal by that was pretty good. 1988 chevy K5 with a fuel injected 383 stroker with 30,000 miles on it, rebuilt 700r4 last year, 3/4 ton axles (semi float rear for now), CB, aftermarket stereo that looks like the old school stereos but it has a digital display and a 10 disk cd changer, cowl induction hood, visor, and brush guard, and the huge bonus THE BACK WINDOW STILL WORKS.

The herd of turtles thing comes from all my tools still being packed away in my dads shop except for my tool bag i always carry. Plus money is short right now since im still the only real income. This will be just a camping and expedition style rig, since things are so far apart here in wyoming its nice having almost twice the size fuel tank as the jeep did.

It NEEDS new tires, tune up, couple seals replaced, and a couple little things here and there.

I WANT a full float rear, swing out carrier bumper, winch bumper, roof rack, GPS (better than my handheld), 2-4 inch lift i really only want to go 2" but i want to do a shackle flip in the rear, disc brakes in the rear.





I picked it up just over 100 miles away and drove it back here, got 15MPG on the highway which is what the jeep was getting (not bad for a 383 stroker).

*Wyoming laws are weird you can legally drive with no plates at all for 30 or 45 days (was told 2 different time frames by 2 different cops), people ride quads, dirt bikes, and side by sides on the streets in town to go to work and go get groceries, pick their kids up from school* ]]> Adventure Vehicles warrpath http://www.pnwadventures.com/forum/adventure-vehicles/24844-herd-turtles-k5-build.html <![CDATA[Eastern Washington Off Road Meet & Greet - April 28th 2012]]> http://www.pnwadventures.com/forum/trip-planning/24843-eastern-washington-off-road-meet-greet-april-28th-2012-a.html Wed, 25 Apr 2012 17:15:24 GMT Image: http://easternwashingtonadventures.com/events/2012/2012_Kittitas_offroad_MG.jpg This event is now being help at the Eastern Washington...

The Pacific Ranger District of the Olympic National Forest is proposing to construct and maintain an OHV (Off-Highway Vehicle) trail system in the North Fork Calawah watershed. The Proposed Action is the development of a trail system and staging area for OHV use in the Bonidu project area (see map here). The trail system would utilize both existing system roads and user-created trails. There would be no cross-country travel, and user-created trails in the project area that are not part of this proposal would be closed / rehabilitated. The system would be designed for year-round use.

The public is invited to participate in the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process as Forest Service personnel prepare an environmental analysis. Comments in support or in opposition are welcome. If you have information you believe the Forest may not be aware of, or if you have specific concerns regarding potential effects of this Proposed Action, please send your comments in writing to Tim Davis, Project Leader, at Olympic National Forest, 1835 Black Lake Blvd SW, Olympia, WA 98512, or by email to comments-pacificnorthwest-olympic-pacific@fs.fed.us.

Please respond by May 21, 2012. Significant issues that are identified may be used to develop alternatives to the Proposed Action. Respondents will be notified when the draft Environmental Assessment is available for the thirty-day review and comment period. If you have no input at this time, but would like to remain informed, please let us know.

If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Tim Davis (project leader) at 360-956-2375 or email attedavis@fs.fed.us.
