PNWX (well, a few of us) do Table Mountain

Removing the pretty paint from my new Canadian sliders, eh?



Approaching the stream.

Rrdstarr stuck in the mud WITH his Super Swampers and removing himself with his winch. The rest of us made it through this section without mud tires...haha!

Camp!

Cool. I was wondering how the trip went. Wish I could have been there, but I'm still playing "Mr. Hollywood" with the video I'm working on.

I'll be glad when I'm done and I can get out wheeling again. Did the trail maps help any?

[rrdstarr]

The maps helped somewhat, but bascially it was us just stopping and exploring what we could find! Some trails were marked by FS some weren't?

Great pics...
Makes me very jealous as I have not been wheeling at all in the past few months

[Schludwiller]

Hopefully you logged some waypoints. There are supposed to be 100 miles of trails up there. We could map the whole area out this summer.

Hey, I am already to go back! I marked the start and end of both of the trails we did! This place rivals Naches for fun!!!

[ChuckH]

Yes; we must go back! I want to continue that one trail and I want to find out how to get to that one long hill that went up the side of the mountain on the left. I suspect we can get there from the trail we were on last, but not sure. Regardless, I'm passing the big rocks again and going beyond! What was beyond looked pretty cool!

These are definately trails we want to do when dry or atleast not more wet than they were this time. The mud has a lot of clay and is very slick. Most of the trails are pretty flat and not too difficult, but there's enough steep and off camber stuff that too much mud would be a problem. Like Rick mentioned, it's a lot like the Naches trail, complete with pinstriping trees!

Best part about this trip was that we didn't run into any other offroaders on the trails, which I thought was odd. Maybe the Jeepers had something else going on or they just feel these trails are too easy for them (which would be true). I thought they were perfect trails for the Xterra and groups of people though. I think it's a lot more fun when we can keep moving and don't have to stop every 5 minutes and wait half an hour while 15 people go over an obstacle. Even worse is constantly having to extract people. It's fine a few times, but when we get into things beyond what the Xterras can handle it really gets old fast.

Anyway, I can't wait to go back and see what's on the other side of the hill!
