I'll try to make it, but my jeep just don't look the same after the elbe poker run this year. I bent my pitmin arm and couldn't turn right so the the drivers side looks funny now.............doors wanted.

hey, hey from Oly. not sure if ive met you. nots sure if ive seen your jeep around. but hey if we end up going, wana convoy down ther?
but yeah. not sure. kinda early. umm anyone up for going around tenish...hmhm. hey bobby if we both end up goin think we could meet up in yelm. havent drove that way before. always gone down hwy 12, sure its not too difficult.

for those of you who dont want to get up that early you are welcome to head over whenever you want. the trails are set up nicely so you can get to any trail easily from the main road. i want to get there early because i dont know how packed it will be up there with the snowjam crowd. but for those that want to be there early i will be at the grainge hall around 6:30-6:45ish in a red dodge towing green cherocon

Good news guys. I was at the Wheelers of Washington meeting last night and we talked about the Snow Jam on the 22nd. Apparently that is just a Forest Service road run. It ends around 11:00 and at that time several people from the run ususally start hitting the trails at Elbe. That means that we do shouldn't have to worry about getting there really early to beat the crowds. I will still be there as early as I can, but I am not much of a morning person.

I will be there at the grange hall to help Branden unload his Jeep. I second what he said. The rest of you guys can show whenever you want. We will be there all day...and like Bill and Bobby say no normal person should be awake at the buttcrack of dawn on a Saturday anyway...lol. I will be monitoring CB channel 33 and I already posted my cell phone number. We will head out to the first trail about 7:00ish with whoever is there. Anybody who shows up later, just send me a text saying Buck where the hell you guys at!! or give me a shout on the CB and we will get you to where we are...or if you know Branden better give him a shout. I wont be too far from him just in case the big green monster needs the strap...LMAO!!

And the poker run ends at elbe. It doesn`t start there.

sweet, sooo anyone wana meet up like 9am. im not trying to steal part of the show. just thinking we could have a couple groups one up at the crack of dawn and maybe one for people like me that are lazy and cant wake up in the morning. just saying. ether way i just wanago wheelin.

anyone got room for an extra body/possible spotter?

I am gonna try to get there at 7 to, gonna depend on other people coming with me and how easily my kid gets up. gets dark to early now so a real early start is a must.

Count me in for a 9am start. 7am is just a bit too early for me.

yeah. i agree. well if we get another group together. there needs to be someone with a winch and that knows the trail. cuz im a lil unequipt if not then just have to settle for the 7am.

Like I said in the start of the tread. I am new to the form and well rather new jeep owner. I have been wheeling off and on my hole life. Anyways I got a 96 XJ with around 5" lift and 33x13.50R15 Toyo open countrys open F/R, Warn xd9000i up front and plenty straps and ****. Anyways I would really like to come out there with you guys. Here ismy number if anyone wants to exchange numbers great if not let me know a time to be there and where are we meeting? Also what channel on the CB?

Ryan
253-344-8694

heres my number if anyone needs it. 3609183946, think we are on ch. 33? um well think we are meeting at the train in elbe.

So it sounds like we will be having two groups for sure. I will be part of the early group. We will be meeting at the elbe campground/parking lot at 7am sharp. We will be on channel 33. If anyone needs to get a hold of me you can call or text me at 253-334-5163

Ryan you are coming from Tacoma. I suggest that you PM Bobby (TampaViking). He is a great guy and he has been to Elbe Hills before. He is coming from Ft. Lewis which is basically Tacoma. Find out from him where you can meet up with him and tag along with his group to Elbe. Branden (98XJsport) and I (BuckB91XJ) will be monitoring CB channel 33 and we have both given our cell numbers multiple times in this thread. I'm sure Bobby will contact us as soon as his group arrives at the Elbe Hills parking area/campground. We will get the late group to where we (the early group) are as soon as possible so we can all wheel together. If you or anybody reading through this thread have any questions call or text me at (360)929-5518 or Branden. His cell number is on the post directly prior to this one. Saturday morning I will be leaving from Winlock and traveling east on Hwy. 12 toward Morton and then heading northeast on Hwy. 7 to Elbe. Anybody coming from that direction let me know and we can meet at the AM/PM gas station at the intersection of I-5 and Hwy.12 east. Be warned though I will be leaving from that AM/PM store NLT 5:30am as I will be at the grange in Elbe to meet Brandem at 6:30am....and be on the first trail at 7:00am.
