Me and @garrett.goodwin4320 will be heading up to the blues tomorrow to cruise around for a while if anyone wants to come along. Above is our planned route starting in Tollgate and coming out at Walla Walla.
Plan is to meet at the Spirit gas station (the one with firehouse subs in it) in Burbank at 8:30 am then head for Tollgate. Stop for lunch and a camp fire somewhere along the way and then continue out to Walla Walla. Most of the route is FS roads but there is some sections a little more trail like and it will probably be muddy up there, might come across some snow too.
It's a little last minute, but open to anyone interested in a little Halloween hangover cruise.

Can I meet you guys at Tollgate? I'd be coming from Pendleton. I'm guessing you'd be there round 10:00

Well I hope you all had a great trip. You should be back by now I would think.
I am bummed I couldn't join you all. Had to get the 4runner coated,
This is a before,
And this is after,
It turned out pretty good. I ran out of material, so will need to order a couple bottles to add some thickness to the hood and roof.

Looks good, that's the same color I have been planning to do the WJ eventually but maybe with some black on the lower part of the body.

Thanks to everyone that came out yesterday, we had a good time. Again I failed to take any pictures to post, I need to get better at that. Anyone have any ideas for another run before the snow flies and it gets cold? Also I'm still looking for any takers on washing the mud off my rig...

Want to meet at the Kennewick RDO and use their pressure washer and water haha. Thinking I might do that today instead of hitting up the one on the way home.
There was a group that did some trails outside of Leavenworth a couple of weekends ago. I will look to see if I can find that one again. I was hoping to go on it but the radiator didn't show up in time. Could go this Sunday if people are free? I'm probably going to California the next weekend but if I end up not going then I would be down for a trip then as well. The wife is now hooked so I'm finally getting the funding I've been needing to get some toys to make life a little easier.

One of these days I will make it out to a damn trail run with you all.
Sadly my Montero committed suicide the other day..... so the search for a suitable replacement is underway.

I saw that Sugarloaf trip and was wanting to go as well.
I'm gonna be in Roslyn area this weekend so it'll be a couple weeks before I can get out again.
I'm glad your wife had fun, it's a big thing to get them to enjoy it when you go out. It really helps for turning a hobby of yours into a family activity. Before long she'll be wanting her own rig...

I already have her lined up to drive the 4Runner while I run the FJ. She just wants to drive when its not so technical so she can figure out how to pick lines. Figured the next outing I'll just have her drive and ill enjoy the scenery.

I finally washed mine this morning, but I had the excuse that I was out camping the last three days. :)
Fun little trip to the Boise area:

I think the rain last night finally washed mine off, no excuse here I was just too lazy to get it out to the farm to use the pressure washer.
