Faithwheelers Naches trip 07-17-04

The Faithwheelers Off Road Club ran the Naches Trail.

Here's the report for you.

The report's not complete yet as I'm waiting for pics and need some details but, the bulk of it's there.

Is this a typo or was it really scheduled for a couple days ago??? I would be interested in going if it hasn't happened yet.

This was yesterday. I post our runs on the Faithwheelers website. I post on others as well, but we had 12 rigs and 2 didn't even make it with repair problems. That's a lot of rigs on a run. :o(

This isn't the same trip as the one WATRD posted about if that was what you were thinking.


Nice running into you out there Gibby, sucks that you guys had trouble. We stayed overnight and ran a bunch more trails on Sunday over on the other side.

There was a few people from WATTORA out there but it wasn't the run.

Gibby, nice pics and write up. I am glad to hear Shane's words ran those peoples rigs off that land. We were a little about seeing that.

Shane, we didn't actually run into any trouble, just a lack of time. Getting 12 trucks across is always slow. We wheeled pretty much non-stop. It wasn't like a typical trip where you get out to take pics for 3/4 hour at every obstacle. The Naches is non-stop for obstacles! They may not be big ones... but lots of fun hill cliimbs, over roots, off-camber and around corners, all at once

Nice write-up there Gibby.

I have ran the Naches once, and that was with the running boards on.

Made it through without one scratch, but the pucker factor was very high the whole time.

You are right...lots of off camber and roots.
The roots make it interesting without a locker.

One day I will run it again.

Heh, that's what happens when I read up on posts late at night after covering almost every trail in the entire Manastash area and the Naches trail the day prior. I saw the "B" word in your writeup and thought the worst.
:pat:
only a couple of breaks

Ah, they didn't make it period. Mud damage to a clutch and I'm not sure what the other problem was, but neither one was able to make the trip at all.
