Cle Ellum could get snow this week before Saturday so I don't know what we will get into however we will be meeting in North Bend off exit 31 at the Chevron station at 8am... anyone is welcome. We do have recovery gear and winches just in case but hopefully we won't need them... if it has snowed then we'll just see how far we can get. Hope to see ya'll there.

Hey fellas. I am looking for some fellow yotas to play in the mud with. I'll keep my eye on this thread. I was thinking walker valley seeing as it is open year round and has trails of all type. I'm running a 85 4Runner with a 4" suspension lift, and truetrac in the rear. I just bought the rig about 2 weeks ago and I'm excited to see what she can do.

Walker Valley is up North near Arlington I think?? After hearing the snow reports for the pass I don't know that Cle Ellum will work very well. We will head south west to Tahuya I believe... never been there... might as well go and find out what it is like... Any thoughts on a meeting point??

Never been to Walker Valley... My rig is quite capable but is not lifted or locked... how well suited is Walker Valley to such a situation? Either way is pretty much the same whether we go south west or north east direction... honestly makes no difference to me... a day wheeling is always a good day...

I have heard that Walker Valley is pretty tough in spots but that it has something for everyone. No way to know without going... I and at least 1 other rig will be at Walker Valley ready for the trail by 10am on Saturday the 1st of February. All are welcome... If you want to come meet us there or send me a private message and I'll give out my cell # and we can be better organized. The more the merrier... Hope to see you there... It does require a Discover Pass that can be purchased on line and printed out for the day or the year.

Well. sadly work is CRAZY right now and I'm gonna be out of town next weekend which means I have to work this saturday so I won't be able to come out and play . My tires are in pretty sad shape too and I'm not sure how well they'd be able to handle the mud (not that that has stopped me before ). I gotta get on that soon and hopefully, work permitting, I'll be able to make it out next time.

This weekend is tough for me because my father is in town (haven't seen him in 3 years) as well as the Hawks are playing. Any chance we can push it to next weekend? As far as Walker, I have not been however I have researched it and have a trail map in hand. It has everything from logging/fire roads to advanced rocky and rutty trails. I think we would be more than capable of finding some trails all of us could enjoy.

Another time for sure... If something changes we will still be out there...

This looks like one of the many awesome easier trails you guys on stock suspensions could enjoy. Also below is the full map of Walker that I have printed out and laminated. Definitely a must because as I understand its real easy to get lost up there.
