The pack of DRZ's, XR's, KLR's and KTM's rolling out of the hills with satisfied riders was all I needed to see...

For anyone that has never been off-road around that part of WA I would highly recommend it. The trails, terrain and views are utterly mind-blowing with the Cascade Range looming all around.

This would be a weekend run that I am planning for the weekend of July 16th. It would either be a camping affair or we could book the rooms at "Whistlin' Jacks" off of 410. Saturday would be a ride around the trails and rocks and Sunday would be following part of the "Wagon Trail." This ride would go over mostly intermediate terrain and at points runs along the very ridge lines of the mountains. This would not be a good ride for someone who has never ridden off-road. Knobbies recommended.

If anyone is interested let me know when, where you want to stay (tent etc) and what you'd ride. I can put a plan together.

The middle of the year is slipping away and Im damned if Im going to miss my annual Naches run even if I gotta go solo! It would be great to share it with you blokes!

I'm in.

Lets buy out the lodge.

Enjoy

Allen,

That has to be the most obscure musical reference I've seen in a long time.

What was the name of his one hit?

Chad,

I'll wait for your preride report to decide. Sounds like I can handle it, what with all my new skills.

We ride there all the time, especially "Yota" my hubby. I'm new at dirt riding and I find many, many roads to travel on. It has enough area for extreme to beginning to fully enjoy the beauty. Here are a few pictures to give you a taste of what you can find.

Does that help anyone?

I will inform the hubby of that weekend and I'm sure we'll be camping not far from Whistlin Jack's on the river. He is currently doing the OBDR and should return by July 7th.

Luca, you'd be missing out mate. It really is worth it and if you made the Olympic ride OK you'll be fine and dandy with this one.....

Just have fun!

Nice pics!, I still cant find mine

I know, Im evil.....

BTW: I checked out a 400SM. Next to a new 400S. I'd take the S in a heartbeat again.... The SM is cool but doesnt have the all around fun and usefulness of the S from what I could tell...

toothy · 06-30-2005, 09:18 PM

I'd like in. I'm only good for a Sunday ride, but partying on saturday nite is a big draw. Also, I've got nearly bald Tourances on my GS and nary the funds for new-uns at the moment. I'll keep checking in.

You are evil. The S is the one. It is now a timing issue with the StoshBoss

oh, I'm in for Sunday, gotta work on Saturday for gas money. I might be up for coming down Saturday night, depends on the cost of the room.

Toothy, if you don't make it down on Saturday night, let's ride down together on Sunday AM.

Yes, well, my credit cards and I had a little heart to heart, and Touratech is going to have to take a back seat to, oh, groceries for a long, long time.

GSguy · 07-01-2005, 07:46 PM

Groceries are over rated

I hear that mate! $30 repairs vs $300 repairs sure make the suzuki's a little more palatable these days....

No worries

So the plan is for Saturday, July 16 and Sunday July 17 with the night spent at or near "Whstlin' Jacks" Sounds great and the pics make it even more inviting. Where does everyone meet up on Saturday morning? A suggestion might be Buzzy's Cafe in Greenwater (Hwy 410) they open at 6 a.m. both Saturday and Sunday (360) 663-2421. What do you think?
