CA, NV, ID, WA and OR Wheeling Road trip
Calendar: Public

Every time I road trip I like to try and hook up with other techies along the way. I've personally met about 30 members from the board in places as far away as Dublin Ireland while I'm traveling. If your located along my route and want to grab lunch or something post up! Here is my itinerary:

I'm pulling out of here the day after Memorial Day and headed East on I-80 to Winnemuca NV. From there I'll go be going North on US 95 to Lewiston Idaho. I'm spending the first night in Fruitland, ID just outside Boise a ways. I'll be around the Lewiston area until the 4th of June. From there I'm headed to Walla Walla, WA for a night. After that I'll be taking I-84 West to Portland. In Portland I'm going to hook up with Tofer and his brother and were going to head up to Browns Camp for the weekend of June 6-8. On Monday the 9th I'll be headed South down I-5 back towards home. I may stop and do some wheeling/exploring somewhere around Shasta on my way back down I-5.

Let me know if your interested in meeting anywhere along the way.

Fil that was the original plan but I wanted to wheel Naches too and everything up there is still buried in Snow. Portland is a lot closer to Walla Walla too.

If you want to go hit up Naches sometime let me know. Im down, however Ive never been there and Im not sure exactly were it is

Theres still quite a bit of snow but it should be melting pretty fast here

And it is also up at Greenwater where I go.
That is the West side of the Naches.

Yes, Joey, that is to bad there is so much snow up there now.
Great trail to take your beast out on.

If you could make it to Reiter though, I am sure many can show you the area.
Lotta good hardcore trails up there.

I was only there once for the FJ Trail Teams event the week before my FJ landed at the dealer.

I keep forgetting about that. Met a Jeeper this winter, both of us helping out a lady out of gas. Nice TJ he had, 35's, dual arbs, winch, the works. Anywho, he was telling me how back in the day you could actually take the Naches trail from the West side and come out the East side and vice versa. Now, the sections are either closed, to difficult or not passable from what I remember him saying.

There's tons of wheeling in the mountains around Dayton. My bro lives in Walla Walla that's why I'm stopping there.

That is the biggest wheeling day I have planned of the trip! I'm leaving from Pierce ID early that morning and headed for the SNOW! Later that night were having a Potluck/Party for my wedding and my mom's bday at the local watering hole. You should try and come up! I'll be in Ltown a couple times too to visit a few buddies if you can't make it.
