Default Large group offroad trip

Hey so I hope to have my front end taken care if this weekend an would like to go hit some trails I'm thinking 9, 10, 11 somewhere. I've been wanting to go to Elbe, Evans is fine too, been to tahuya, nothing too exciting there an a bit if a drive for the people that live on the other side of the sound, wouldn't mind driving up to walker or naches but I would have to say a night which is fine with me. Anyone is welcome not strictly Cherokees or jeeps. What does everyone one think, times, places. Possible camp.trip. let me know

what do you mean by crippled? did you roll it, or is it just being a PITA! i think the more the better, and then we can outnumber all the wranglers!

It just needs a fuel pump and front drive shaft. I've just been to busy with work lately. I also havn't used it much in the last few years so I need to drive her on the street for a while to make sure she'll still hold together!

is this an off road park trip? cause if not, too many jeeps at once may be too heavy of impact on the trail system.

don't forget about the tread lightly rule.

Yes, Elbe Hills is a well used ORV park. There are tons of wheeling rigs up there every weekend and local 4 wheel groups spend a lot of time maintaining the trail system. Here in WA pretty much the only places we can legally wheel are off road parks.

Just realized Elbe is 45 minutes or less from my parents place down in Salkum, off 12. That would make a good weekend trip for me another time.
