Pacific Northwest help please

I found this trip report:

AHTANUM: Nice area, a few long trail loops, mountains, moderately wide trails
BATEY-BOULD:
CAPITOL FOREST: Greasy when wet, ongoing logging, great views and trails
CHIKAMIN:
DEVILS BACKBONE:
DEVILS GULCH:
ENTIAT RIVER: Hikers, bikers, and horses on trails. Not too cool but pretty
EVANS CREEK: Bridge out, open in Sept. 98, Mt. Rainier in your face, see glaciers
GRANT COUNTY: Dunes, lake in hot weather, see all in a day, watch out for others
JONES CREEK: First ORV park in WA. Wet jungle, deep mudholes, and a blast
LITTLE PEND OREILLE: H
MAD RIVER:
MILLER PEAK: Drove over it, never found trailhead, torched brakes on truck
NACHES BASIN: Have not seen lately, excellent weekend trip in moderate temp.
SAWTOOTH:
TABLE MOUNTAIN: 500ft hillclimbs, views, dusty & hot, jeeps, must see again
TAHUYA FOREST: New trails, all year-round riding, level & wide trails, very nice
TANEUM: Trails being cleared, most trails open, steep traversing narrow trails, wow
WALKER VALLEY: Wet if clouds in Puget Sound, root steps, killer fun & tough

And was wondering if someone could tell me where these are located?
The website that I got them from is pretty much toast, sot he links dont work.

Thanks a lot.

Here's a start.

If you want to find trails, the best thing to do is join a club. PNWX goes to at least 3 of those trails in Washington.

Thanks.

I sent an email to PNWX.Net a month or so ago and never heard a response. I will try again.

The PNWX is in a transition period right now. One of the guys running it went out and got a <<cough>> Disco <<cough >>. That's probably why you have not heard anything.

I thought that maybe Mosi was turning over the site to Chad? :confused:

What, I don't want no dam Aussie Apple fan running my web site :hehe: ? Next think you know he's going to be renamed it to iPNWX and putting up pictures of kangaroos.

I think that's the plan but it sounds like they're still working on the transition.

Ooohhhh. iXterra.com :D

"iPNWX" ....hmmmm.... I hadnt thought of that..... Thanks Scott!!
I just spent the day teaching Seminars for Apple so Im all fired up!

I havent heard nuttin' from Mosi so I dunno aboot the site eh.


I'm thinkin' Graphite and Titanium coloured (yes with a "U") Kangaroos.......

I think my girl would appreciate me doing something else XTerra related in my spare time other than ordering crap from XTerra Parts so it might be cool....

:sun:

Shit, Scott, you just make me spit coke all over my screen through my nose ... damn you ....

PlatnumToof,
There are quite a few people in the Seattle area who like to go out and 'wheel. Give PNWX some patience and I think you'll dig the results!
It sure beats the hell out of digging yourself out of hole or wondering how your going to keep your Truck's butt out of a frozen pond.... Occassionally you get to view some real Canadians in their natural environment too!


Jens - If you quit snortin' Coke you might be able to afford those new tires:D

Did someone say Kangaroos!

I like this one. He is in a good PNWX logo pose.

That looks more like a she.

Yeah - I failed to notice she didnt have any nuts until I posted it.

Why you Aussies are looking at kangaroo nuts in the first place is beyond me :p

Aussies learn at an early age to check on those things. If you run into a female Kangaroo or corner one she will likely just take off as fast as she can. If you do that to a fully grown male he will disembowel you and fling your unmentionables a mile away before you can blink. Thats why there are "Bullbars" and "RooBars." "Roobars" are for when you hit a male kangaroo. They are cranky buggers so it helps to notice the nuts as early as possible

Just when I thought there was nothing else to learn. :D

Oh come on, now I know you're pulling my leg, kangaroos are soft, playful critters just like little kittens! I know, I've seen it on TV. :D

Itellyuwhut... they taste decent although they are mostly used for dog-food.

Did you know that Koalas are so mellow 'coz they are wasted on a particular type of Eucalypt all the time?? What a life!! If there is such as thing as reincarnation I want to come back as a Koala.:smoker2:

Tell you what, YOU come back as a koala, I'll come back as Hugh Heffner.

Damn smooth.....:silly2:

I like how you framed your Avatar Jens!!!!

Actually I had to do that framing, in that shot you can see Xlax behind me in his ugly yellow beast ... :)

Yeah and you did call my agent and ask permission...so you better crop it beeeach.

Anyone been to the ORV park in Olympia? I went on a few trails there (not too deep into the woods though) and it seemed excellent for some good ol' muddin.

Nope where is it?? - Are you in PNWX??

Its about 15 miles west of Oly on Hwy 101. I thought it was just for Motocross?

the place in olympia does have a big motocross track, but behind that is some dddddeeeeppppp mud pits. there are also a few roads up in the hills but nothing all that exciting. if your into muddin, its the place to be. it can get a little crazy on the trails though, cause you get the idiots on the trail bikes doing 50mph down the road.

There is an ORV near me called Evans Creek. It is on the north end of Mt Rainier Park jusr south of Carbonado.

Is there a fair bit of mud on that run?? Have you taken your X out there??

Evans creek is a trail system recomended for short wheelbased 4x4's. From what I understand, if you take anything much larger than a wrangler or a early bronco, you should expect body damage. Evans creek is located just west of Mt. Rainier national park.
