    Welcome from the Tri Cities. Never been to expo but sounds like there is a lot to see and learn there. There is a few of us from the Tri Cities and Yakima area that get together for runs, but most of what we do is more trail and not too Subaru friendly. That being said there is still some...

    Good to know, I hadn't thought about checking them. So far I've been looking at Trail Forged and it looks like Iron Rock now has one out.

    I was up in the area Memorial weekend and ran some of the roads around Bethel ridge. Bear lake was totally accessible, coming from the north on bethel ridge we didn't hit snow until around 5,200' but the trail portion of Bethel Ridge was still closed there at FS 1400. We went down 1400 from...

    @Ceg, what is the planned route for your run the 24-26 of this month? Not sure if I'll be able to make it, but was curious what the details were as I didn't see much on your site.

    Your right, it seems like ever time I'm out camping or on the trails I see more WJ's. People are starting to catch on to how good they are and that you can still pick them up for a reasonable price. I would be up for a WJ meet up/ trail run somewhere, sounds like a good time. At one time I...

    So no real work has been done to the WJ other then minor maintenance since my last post but after the last trip I had a check engine light come on and have a minor coolant leak, hopefully both are easy fixes. I also noticed that a few of the boots on my ball joints are starting to tear a little...

    It was a good time and really not too busy for being a holiday weekend. I've camped in that area 3-4 times and ran bethel ridge probably a half dozen times but still found new roads up there I hadn't been on so it keeps it interesting. There was more places I wanted to explore on Saturday but...

    We made it back out of the woods in one piece and rigs intact so time for a trip report! We left town Friday afternoon and went to a secluded spot off of NF1500 outside Nile, weren't too sure what was left of it after the fire last year but it wasn't hit too bad. There was about a 4' diameter...

    Is the Gallagher head trip still going to happen as planned? I really liked that one and was wanting to do it again if timing works out with my work.

    Saw that trip, but didn't really feel like driving that far.

    Ya, fuel prices are stupid right now. Really hoping the high prices will keep a lot of people at home so things aren't so crowded.

    The Tri-Cities Clubhouse

    What's everyone's plans for the holiday weekend, anyone going out to hit some trails or camp? If all works out I think we're going to head up around Nile, a lot of the good areas are probably still under snow but we want to cruise around a bit and see what all burnt up there. If we're in the...

    The Tri-Cities Clubhouse

    Welcome! I'm in the the Tri Cities as well, there is a few of us on here from the area. At one point we had a bit bigger group and started to get some almost regular meetups going and a few trips put together but then covid happened and haven't gotten too much traction getting things going...

    Personally I like gears and beers, but I'm also a fat kid so ice cream is always an option.

    That was a fun run, would have been nice if we could have made it all the way up to the towers. Not sure yet but we might be camping in the Wenas area this weekend instead of Naneum, if so I'll keep an eye out for you guys. You going to be in the same spot as last year?

    It doesn't sound like we will be planting this weekend and the wife is out of town so I think me and the dog will be able to make this trip if you still have room. When and where is the meet up point? Do you have a planned route for this trip? Beings the lower elevations in that area are...

    Weather for WA BDR in late May

    The hard way is fun sometimes. If I had heard someone else had already been through it I would have done the same. When I went through the first time that year I was alone which probably wasn't the best choice with the condition of the trail, but it was a lot of fun and I didn't have to winch...

    Yes the bypass for that section is super easy, just gravel forest service roads. It does offer some nice views along the way and some better camping options than on the ridge. Bypass is also about 1.5 miles shorter and you can travel faster if you're trying to make up lost time. Both drop you...
