What a Weekend - PNWX at Naches

[mudphud]

Sounds like fun, Schlud....guess I'll have to get those MT tires before I try that trail.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention on my previous post, that my front license plate is deformed too. The way it's mounted on the ARB is really stupid...it just kinda hangs there.

what was the trail rating for this past weekend.

[ChuckH]

Just a guess, but I think our most difficult stuff this weekend was between 7 and 8. Thing is, we only had a few spurts of it and spent most of our time on nice roads. I'd say the Wagon Trail is probably a continous 5-7or 8 rating at most all times, so it's slow going (that's why we don't want to do it with 23 trucks). It's also quite narrow in places, aside from steep spots and such. Lots of driving over tree roots and things too. It's not horribly difficult and nothing a stock truck can't do when dry, but if it's wet it can be pretty scary, me thinks! I've done the Naches in a CJ-5 with my Brother when it was wet and we didn't make it home without body damage! Basically, add the snot-like mud we had this weekend, but put it on very steep hils! yikes!

Quite honestly, I don't think I would take my truck on the Naches when wet like that and certainly not without some very good mud tires. It's just too narrow and too steep in places to navigate without body damage, IMO.

I just happen to have 2 front hub caps for sale.

Sounds like I could have sold them if I had
stayed for the Sunday run.

Here is one of Schlud at moon rocks. Just about everyone used their sliders on this line. Sorry about the green line. My camera needs to be sent to olympus for repairs.

Uh, actually that's Funny Rocks, but we'll let it slide this time since you're new in town!

It was great to finally meet you and I hope we see you on lots of future outings!

Joe i have a newfound respect for you and your fearless driving abilities. Hitting the funny rocks with your stock tires was nuts (in hind sights I regret not trying). What a ROCKING weekend, so when is the next outing????

Hehe, that's Andy! Mosi's X is silver, has an aluminum ARB skid, and only has two round lights up front!

Sorry, I just can't help but pick on the new guy tonight!

I like this picture because it captures some of the distance and height at Funny Rocks.

Nothing like seeing a jeep stuck while an Xterra (ToyMan) drives by. (from video)

Video, Schlud? Share, man, share! What's the format? If it's VHS or other non-digital, send me a copy. I can capture and convert to mpeg, even make video-CD's from it.
