I've been doing a lot of the same with searching different mapping apps for possible places to go. I think sticking to some of the river basins is a good idea for better weather, but at the same time I like a little snow

Now that winter is all but here I want to give this thread a bump, so lets hear where you like to head for trips in the PNW during the winter months! Last winter I only made it out once, but I'd like to get out more this year. At the moment I'm looking into possible trips to the John Day...

I have some of these and they're far better than any conventional air mattress I've ever used. Like them enough I now have 3. I use an insulated one for winter camping (solo, wife doesn't like the cold). In the back of the Jeep I'll throw down a moving blanket for insulation with this on top...

I didn't go up this weekend. We got free tickets to the WSU vs. Oregon football game so headed over to Eugene instead. Might try to head up this Sunday but we'll see.

Been a little bit since I posted about running Skyline, but I'm thinking about heading up there this Sunday (11/14) if anyone is interested. Roads are still open through the end of the month and the best I can see there doesn't seem to be much snow yet. Depending on what sections we run I...

Nice rig. I love the '78-'79 Bronco. Another rig on the list of ones I wish I could build at some point in time.

That thing is awesome! One of my friend's dad has a mid 70's Travelall sitting in the weeds at their farm that I've been trying to buy for a few years, won't sell it yet but I think I'm wearing him down. Have any big plans for it yet? Fix it up as a driver or sleeping platform in the back and...

Go to the "Overland Bound Routes: Downloadable!" section of this forum and filter by the region you want to explore to see what's there. You can also go to the Overland Bound By Region page and find the area you're looking for info on and ask the people in that area. Another good place to...

I have a similar set up, the SlumberJack road house and have been very happy. Durable, good size and packs up about the size of a bigger ground tent.

Been busy with work lately but I'm wanting to make it over to run Skyline some time in Oct. or early Nov. before the snow starts to fall. I'll probably do it as a day trip and on a Sunday. Let me know if you're interested and I'll post something here before I go. I don't have a for sure date...

Thanks for the heads up. I usually try to run this once a year and have been wonder if it was open. Any news if it's open from the Mill Creek access south to Tollgate?

I've now made it out on 3 trips with the locker and new suspension and the Grand performs pretty damn good. None of the trails have been hardcore rock crawling or anything real extreme but I've made it up, over and through everything I've attempted to this point. I've failed to take pictures...

I haven't updated here in a while, but really hasn't been much getting done. A couple months back I was changing the oil in the rear end and noticed there was some little chunks missing out of the spider gears and the oil was a little more sparkly than I like to see. So I started tearing the...

@CascadeTraveler, did you make it up to run Naches pass over the weekend? If so what were the conditions? Harvest has started for us so I was stuck working all weekend, looks like trips will be few and far between for me the rest of the year.

He runs a JKU, that might have been what people were talking about not making it. I've only ran it once, it's not a hard trail just a couple of tight spots. It was pretty muddy when I ran it so being dry and having lockers (I didn't at the time) you will have an easier time getting over the...

It's in central WA. 20-30 miles west of the town Naches off of hwy 410.

@Ceg would know better since he runs a JK but I think he had mentioned that the spot I'm thinking of on the east end is too tight for a JK. And correction to my previous post I meant the east end not west.

I haven't been on it yet this year. I believe @Ceg is running it today or tomorrow so maybe he'll see this when he gets back and can give you an update. What kind of rig are you running it in? When I ran it last year the section on the west end was a bit tight, slid into a tree (it was...

26-27 I met up with @Ceg and his group for a run from Nile to Gallagher Head lake. Had a great time, Gallagher head is pretty awesome if you've never been there. Here's a couple pics I took, I'm sure @Ceg will have some better ones up before too long. Clay, I forgot to ask, did you get any...
