NW trip to naches anyone?

[R.DesJardin]

Im on Montana we moved the whole shop up just south of Missoula. I'm going to work on making it to this. having to replace my t-case this weekend and do some other maint items hoping i can get it done and ready in time.

Are you coming down US12 to get there. I'm about at the halfway point in Clarkston, WA if you need anything. Will you be coming through Friday? If so feel free to stop by the shop I'm 4 blocks off of Hwy12/Bridge St in town. I'm not sure if I can make this trip but will try to get things in place.

That would be great if you could come. I now it's kind of a haul for you, but it would be cool to meet you.

Right now it looks like it will work out, I'll know more in a couple days. I plan on leaving early Saturday and the General store to meet at is the old one in Naches on Hwy 12 right? Where are we planning on heading too, I need to unload somewhere convenient without much highway drive time. Yes my baby is a trailer queen.

I think there are places as you get closer to the trail that you can unload. Can someone else confirm this?

Looks like I'm out, broke the xmsn at Elbe. Time for the 4.3 and TH350.

Sorry to hear that. Well I always look at breakage as an opportunity to improve my rig. Looks like that is what you plan to do.

I'm interested in showing up for this and I'm fairly familiar with the area. Are you guys planning on starting off forest road 70 out of GreenWater  or on the east side by Wistlin jacks? There are places to leave a truck and trailer on both those roads. 70 has a real good trailer parking area.

Yeah, I already have most of the parts and now it's time.

[helipilot77]

Looks like zippo and I will be coming from the west and mudaddict and R.DesJardin are coming from the east. Looks like you will be the tie breaker toyotaddict. I've never been so I don't know what would be a better entry/exit point. I will leave that to someone who knows the trails there better. I hope it is okay with you guys but I invited a friend of mine who drives a J*#p. I just helped him install his lift kit over the weekend and he wants to try it out. He is very green so he will probably spend some time on the end of my winch line.

 I think my dad wants to come out with his 4runner as well. I always start on 70 out of green water and head east on the trail to 19 . Running 410 to start the trail on 19 is a looooong up hill drive and for those of us who drive are rigs its no fun.. I much prefer to start on 70 and take the trail to 19 Its funner and Seems faster, I would likely take that route even if I was meeting someone on the east side. Who all is driving there rigs?

[zippo]

I sir am driving my rig in. Sounds like you know the route. Im down for meeting and going in wherever.

[helipilot77]

I am also down to meet somewhere to drive in together. I will be driving my 4runner.

[zippo]

So whats the final word? where we meeting and at what time?

[toyodaaddict]

my vote is the greenwater store at  10:30 -11:00.

That would be way to far for me to go, but I get it since everyone is west siders. Not sure what I'll do, don't wait for me there, maybe I'll see you at the rocks.  I'll probably go up the east side and unload at the top.

[toyodaaddict]

So is that the final word, tomorrow 10:30- 11:00 at the greenwater store?

[toyodaaddict]

where is everyone? I'm packed an ready to head out in the morning.

[zippo]

Yep, sorry i'm packed and ready too, tomorrow at 1030-11. I replied from my phone but, ah stupid phone. I'lle be in the white 4runner. Can't miss me. I'm sure its the only one you will see! :-p

[zippo]

West Naches and I THINK Moon rock.















I believe this is moon rock. The stock runner got up it but it didn't like it. I need some lower gears.

[toyodaaddict]

Looks like you did a much better job getting pics that me but I got a couple.



It was great meeting you guys! Looking forward to doing it again
