Locals of Washington State!!!

Hey I just got based at Mcchord Air base and I wanted to know of all the wheeling areas around here. The base is in the tacoma area. I have already been to Tahuya and ridden motocross at straddleline in olympia. Any places around here let me know. Thank you.

slab camp

technically the first part is a public road off of lost mountain road in sequim, so it goes up there, and then theres a fork in the road: one for private, and one for public. keep going straight and you go to the top of the mountain and all around you'll see the wheelin places, ponds in middle, hill climbs on the right, rock pits on left, and trails everywhere..another good place is just west of port angeles, and its joyce access road. this one is a road that goes all the way up a mountain above lake sutherland, and it just has a lot of side roads and trails on the way up. up here theres just alot of choices i guess

Welcome, what's your rig set up like? got a couple of buddies I go out with or We'll go out as a family solo. Evans creek is nice, seem to go there most. Suprise like is nice. Naches pass is a cool drive, but will close on Nov 15. Naches ends where there is a ton of trails, but check the condition of Chinook pass prior to running. Tahula is cool for stockers. Only been to Elbe last winter for sledding, haven't run any trails yet. Oh I'm on Ft Lewis. Some muddin holes in the Nisqualie basin, but the Army engineers went back there to limit access people were dump everything back there. And a nice hill climb on the back of N. Fort. Check out the trail section alot of trails from Wa on there.

we used to go out behind Ravensdale on the power lines.... homeland security patrols there these days so that's a no go.... at this point i'm breaking in my motor and waiting for the snow to fall.

there are a few trails [4w301 and 4w302] out past Salmon al Sac that are challanging for stock rigs
