BLUERIBBON COALITION ACTION ALERT!
OWYHEE TRAVEL MANAGEMENT PLAN EA RELEASED - COMMENTS NEEDED
BLM’s Owyhee Field Office has released their draft travel plan for the Murphy Subregion. If you looked only at the mileage table in the Environmental Assessment, you might think motorized recreation is getting a raw deal. The mileage table shows nearly a 1/3 reduction in available miles. But that doesn’t tell the whole story. (more…)

On Saturday, October 4, 2008, the folks from the All Wheelers Off Road Club got together in the Little Naches area just outside Clifdell, Washington for a 4×4 run over Naches Pass.

Today, Hutchman announced on the forum a trip he is hosting at the Virtue Flat OHV Area, just outside Baker City in Eastern Oregon on October 26, 2008. This is a trip for all vehicle capabilities, from the stock 4wd to those with a well build 4×4 who wants to test their skills.
You can read more about the trip and even see some photos of the area by visiting Virtue Flat OHV Area Oct. 26th.
Well it looks like I missed another great trip. I need to get my engine finished. Jerry posted up a great trip on the trip to Gallaher Head Lake near Cle Elum, Washington. They had an excellent turnout with great people.
You can read the trip report at Gallaher Head Lake Tour.
Over on the forum at OBCDR Trip Report, Decidion posted up a web page with a trip report of a recent 4-day trip through the Oregon Backcountry.
Decidion describes the trip as follows:
“The Oregon Backcountry Discovery Route is a series of gravel and offroad/4×4 trails that leads from the California border all the way up to the Washington border along the eastern edge of the Cascade mountains. It is primarily US Forest Service roads, some of which are maintain, but a lot of them have not seen any cleanup since the last person who ran the route.”

Join us for a day of easy four-wheeling north of Cle Elum, Washington. We plan on exploring the Fortune Creek Mining Area near Salmon la Sac and that includes three “easy” 4×4 trails and possibly a fourth rated as “more difficult”.
First will be the Fortune Creek Trail, 4W301 (rated easy). This trail offers beautiful scenery and along the route we may spot remnants of rusting mining machinery. The highlight of the Fortune Creek Trail is Gallaher Head Lake where there is a small primitive campground that would be a great place to camp if you so desire.
Read more at Gallagher Head Lake 4×4 Run (09-13-08).
