7/21: Continuing on section 6 to Nighthawk, WA - Canadian Border. The road that separates Washington and British Columbia. We spent 10 minutes goofing around and not a single vehicle in sight. And that's the end of section 6. We've completed the WABDR in it's entirety.

7/20: Chelan to the small town of Conconully, WA section 6. Found our camp site in section 6, an old deer camp. Even had an old makeshift toilet.

WABDR Sections 5 and 6 July 2019: 7/19: Starting off Section 5 in Chelan, WA. Not necessary at all but airing down to 20psi makes the ride so much more comfortable. Found our camp spot in Section 5. A couple buddies in their F150's joined us as well. Cooked our late lunch. The Traeger...

I found section 4 to be a bit on the unenthusiastic side in regards to the drive. Majority of the roads were cliff side gravel roads and took us a while before we found a suitable place to set up camp. Had to break out the blue label after driving for 7 hours. Kilt it. Kabobs and longanisa...

First washout on Liverty Beehive Rd/NF-9712 in section 3. There was another down the road which was easy to get through as well. Made it up to a peak for a break. Finished section 3 and into town for a refuel and coffee break. Stopped by the 911 Memorial as we were in Cashmere.

WABDR Sections 3 and 4 July 2018: Two rigs, my 5th gen 4Runner and my buddies' 2nd gen Tacoma. Left Friday evening around 5:30 to Ellensburg where we began section 3. We relied mostly on downloaded .gpx tracks off Gaia GPS. Initially, we read that there were a couple major washouts in section...

Day 3: 7/30/17 Section 2 completion Finally put that Rotopax to use. First time using for an "offroad" adventure and the spout decided to break. I think this thing is better suited for filling up the lawn mower. Last air up before we hit the highway back home. And 2.5...

Day 3: 7/30/17 Section 2 Sunday, last day of our trip and to finish off section 2. We had a great nights sleep with surprising low wind. Cooked up breakfast, cleaned up our area and off to the Ellensburg. Morning coffee. Shoooot...we are Asian after all so we made some fried rice with the...

Day 2: 7/29/17 Section 2 By 7 pm we decided to find a good spot to set up camp. Got to this nice clearing on Bethel Ridge to rest for the night. Time for dinner, we were hungry after hours of trail time. Marketing shot for #YETI and #Scepter MWC Kevin putting in work on the skottle...

Day 2: 7/29/17 Section 2 Section 2 is so much better than section 1 in every way. More scenic, tighter and more technical trails. Not difficult at all but just more entertaining. Even the big tree can make it through the tight turns.

Day 2: 7/29/17 Section 2 Burnt forest Airing up/down/up/down started becoming a routine by now. Rimrock lake and Mt. Rainier in the background. Off a basalt rock cliff.

Day 2: 7/29/17 Section 1 Airing down for a more comfortable ride through section 1. Went down to 20psi. The ARB deflator makes quick work on all 4 tires. Taking a break from driving so somebody else can take the lead. Section 1 is all dirt and gravel roads, no 4WD necessary. Can be...

Day 2: 7/29/17 Section 1 After breakfast we followed the section 1 route and visited Gifford Pinchot National Forest Ice Cave. Cave shots. Caught this little guy outside.

Day 2: 7/29/17 Woke up to a spectacular sight with Mt. Hood in the background. My friends found this nifty spot that can fit all 3 vehicles plus space to set up our table and cooking station. This Fiskers axe made easy work of that log we brought. Using the logs for the evening. WADBR...

Our group finally completed the WABDR last weekend. It just took us nearly 3 years to from start to finish. Completed two sections at a time every July, beginning with sections 1 and 2 in July 2017, sections 3 and 4 in 2018, and finally 5 and 6 in July 2019. Our core group consisted of my 5th...

First washout on Liberty Beehive Rd/NF-9712 in section 3. I drove through it no issue without a spotter. There is another down the road which was easy to get through as well. Buddy in his Taco going over that first washout. Made it up to a peak for a break. Finished...

Thought I'd share my trip from last weekend here. I posted this in the regional NW forum as well. We completed sections 3 & 4 of the WABDR this weekend. Two rigs, my 5th gen 4Runner and my buddies' 2nd gen Tacoma. Left Friday evening around 5:30 from downtown Seattle to Ellensburg where we...
