Default Bellingham Check In

Hey guys, my wife and I just moved to the Bellingham area. Actually moved into Lynden. All of our family, friends, and wheelin buddies live in Yakima. So who is up here in this area? Maybe it would be nice to meet up some time.

Nice! My names Matt, I live right near downtown Mount Vernon. Not sure if you've ever been to Walker Valley, but it's a great orv park about 40min from bellingham.

Nice to meet ya Matt. Never been to Walker Valley. Seen some vids. Looks like it would be fun for a day of wheelin. Im used to Rimrock or Little Naches. Spend a 3 day weekend there on the trails as much as possible and you never have to hit the same ground twice. I'm sure I'll check out Walker once my rig gets done, but I'm also realy excited about heading up into BC and checking out some of that crazy Canadian wheelin.

What else is there around besides Walker?

Canada, huh. Have you ever heard of a place called sunrise lake/ hales creek bc? I believe it's located near the north time of of Vancouver island, about a 5hr drive from our area. Let me know when you plan a trip. I've never gotten a DUI an I have a passport, so I'm ready to go across the boarder. This pic is from hales creek.

Dont remember where at though.

You know, I see quite a few built XJs in driveways around Lynden. No one on here?

I am also here in Oak Harbor on the north end of Whidbey Island. Welcome to the west side. I've spent a weekend camping out and wheeling Rimrock with The Jeep Unit from Yakima. That place is fun. I want to get over and spend a weekend in Naches and Little Naches. I wanna play on the funny rocks, moon roacks and all of thiose places as soon as my new Jeep is built. You will have to get in on a Walker Valley run soon and an Evans Creek run. Evans Creek opens up around 1 April. Have you ever wheeled Elbe Hills? I figured you since it's farely close to Yakima. That place is a blast, too. The infamous Bust Wild will rock your world!!

Yea. I ran The Busy a few years ago in February. It was fun for sure but not exactly my style of wheelin. I definitely prefer the tight trails and steep climbs of Rimrock. I will be making a few trips back there each year once this Jeep is done.
