Sunrise was unpassable with the rigs we had... the ruts were a few feet deep. We only made it about 600 feet up the trail and it's tore up bad.

Ruts a few feet deep are sometimes passable so long as they don't have another few feet of water covering them up. I hate deep ruts under water.

I will be back from my work trip on Friday June 10th. Anybody planning an Elbe Hills run after that, I'm in.

The 24th or 25th of June sounds good to me. Maybe I can even hunt down a trailor by then so I can trailor my Jeep rather than drive it all that way.

I hope to see you all down at Elbe on Sunday, June 12th for the 3rd Annual Wheelers of Washington Elbe Hills Fun Run. We need all the XJ guys we can get. It is a poker run. The first hand is $10 and each additional hand is $5. I will be running one of the poker hand checkpoints. We have a ton of great prizes together for the poker hands just click here to check them all out. There is also a seperate grand prize raffle where tickets are $1 each or 6 for $5. The two prizes for the raffle are a Warn M8000 winch and a synthetic masterpull winch rope. It is going to be an awesome time so don't miss out.

I think I'd rather do Naches for my first time with your Jeep club. I can go again with the NAXJA guys after I already know my way around over there.
