Trip Report: Pick Up a Mountain – 9/20/08
Ceg of All Wheelers Off Road Club just posted up a cleanup event held this past Saturday near Manastash Ridge in the Little Naches area off SR410 in Washington state. This area was just one of many clean ups going on throughout the state.
It’s hard to imagine that people, still to this day, with the price of gasoline, drive all the way up in the hills and dump their trash when it would be cheaper to just go to the dump.
Anyway, a salute to all those who participated in the clean up. A job well done..

Ellensburg to SR410 – 12 Nov 2007
A great trip report was posted on the forum by Moxta from Auburn, Washington. Their adventure started in Ellensburg and took them up and over Manastash ridge via the Barber Springs Rd and FS-1701 to the Little Naches area off SR-410. The trip included snow and will probably be one of the last wheeled vehicle trips in that area before the snow settles in for the winter.
Read the entire trip report at Ellensburg to 410.

Washington Cascades Overland Tour 2007 – Final Thoughts
Over the last four days, I completed a 681 mile adventure (not counting the additional 465 miles to get to the starting point and back home again) following an overland route through the Cascade Mountains of Washington state, stretching from the Columbia River near Carson, Washington to Chopaka at the border crossing with British Columbia. From my records, about 63% of the overland route was on forest roads.

Cascade Overland Adventure – August 2006
Our first goal was to travel from I-90 near Cle Elum, Washington to Highway 410 near Cliffdell, Washington via logging roads. Our second goal was to travel from Highway 410 to Highway 12 over logging roads. We would then travel Highway 12 over White Pass to Packwood. From Packwood, we would head South on logging roads towards Mt. Adams and locate a campsite for the night.
