View Full Version : Ft Lewis Run
All,
Looking to get together with the folks from FLW on the board this next weekend (18 Apr) for a run to tahyua. Should be pretty mild, there are some pretty good section to test your skills that are optional. The clubs in the bremerton area have put alot of work into this trail to make it interesting.
Post up if your down. Looking for a good day of family oriented wheeling.

I would definently go, but I am going to the fair. I would rather wheel for sure though.

All i've got is 2 wheel drive right now, but i'll shotgun with somebody if they've got a seat.
Not sure yet who's running and where we may head to. I'll most likely be full up, we'll see the week is still young.

I'm getting the shaft this week and have CQ on wednesday and saturday. God, I can't wait to get some wheeling done.

We should definently get together for wrenching and wheeling. The guys where I work just drive Jeeps, I don't even think they know where the t-case shifter is.
Well its thurs night,
Anyone plan on running this weekend? I know the spring fair is on the list for most folks to attend. Post up if you plan on running, don't like to hit the trails alone, if no one is down for a run will push it off to another weekend and work on the honey do list.

I won't be ready for a run, Jeep is going in the shop next week....if the weather is decent I will be cleaning it, doing a few minor fixes and dealing with some rust issues.

I won't be ready for a run.
x2 :(
Roger,
Looks like this run will be pushed to the right. Hopefully weather will continue to improve and we can hit it next weekend or the weekend after.
I'll be doing some 1/10th scale wheelin on the rock course in the front yard. Hopefully I don't break and can make it home..........
Kris
I think everyone has probably completed work on their riggs by now.
How about some Wheeling?
Lets get it on this weekend,
Weather: Not sure yet
Trail: I'm open,
we can hit tahuya, evans, elbe,or head down to capital forrest (opens 1may)
Looking at Sat, link-up some place central and head out.
Post up if your interested,
I will have my 7yr old daughter along as co-pilot/navigator/spotter/wheelin buddy. Not sure about the dog yet.

I'll be heading up to Carnation for the entire weekend. Going to help my BIL work on getting his XJ road worthy again, and probably go out on a "test" run. And pick up parts for my TJ :D.
Weather is great......
Anyone down for a run?
Looking at Sat the 2nd......either Capital Forest or Evans or Elbe.
Post up

I think Evans is still pretty covered in snow. I was gonna see what the guys from work had planned. I was kinda hoping for a sunday run so I can try to get a new hub bearing in up front.
Still waiting on parts...Sunday may be better for me too.
Need to close the loop with afew more folks,
Will post link-up time and location this afternoon.
All,
Sunday run to Capital Forest, I haven't wheeled there yet, don't really think the trails are too aggressive.
Plan to link-up in Yelm at the safeway 0900hrs for gas and chow then head out. Please post up if plan to run so I know how many people we will be waiting on.
Thanks
If my parts are waiting for me when I get back to my room I should be able to get that done tonight or early tomorrow and hopefully get my tire replaced as well.
I know where the Safeway is and will post tomorrow night if I will be there for sure.

Same here I need to do some extra wrenching tommorow.
Sounds good,
I'm checking the topo for capital right now.
Looks like unimproved roads/old logging trails most of the way, has about 2K in elevation gain. Should make for some nice views if its not raining. Anyway, I here their having PNW races at the ORV park out there, might be fun to check out if the wheeling sucks.
I have to get started on my rigg, PMCS stuff.
My buddies XJ needs some love today.
Hope to see you all there.

I am definently in.
My parts never showed up...I did have the tires looked at today and it appears there is no side wall damage, just cosmetic...still up in the air about wheeling on them however.
We'll be at the safeway in yelm at 0900ish, see you there

Capitol is awesome I can trail lead if you guys want to go this week. Got a marriage retreat this weekend... Let me know

I gotta say it was pretty sucky.
We went in on the north side at the rock candy and quickly ran into roads closed secondary to slides. I tried to follow some trails up the north slope using my gps to link into the secondary trails further up with no luck.
The trail that heads up the barried gas line was pretty cool but the climb was a little more than the group was up for. Probably would have been ok if all had lockers and there was atleast one more winch.
It was a nice day though and we still had fun

It's sad how much trash is up there. Some guys at work told me that a few miles further down 101 there is another ohv park.
