I am not entirely sure WHY someone would run the trail with street pressure in the tires and running boards, but hey, that's our Corey! hehehehehhe

By the time of the Naches part of the event, we will have had the "Trail 101" class already and folks will have had the chance to practice a bit. There are very few rigs on here that would have any trouble with the Naches... I am more concerned with getting the drivers trained so they can enjoy it.

 

He he, that was before I knew better.
I bet if the tires had been aired down to 15 psi, I would not have been jolsted around so much.

You know that staircase you climb?
I think that is what knocked a lot of sludge loose and finally did my fuel injectors in.
I heard lots of banging going on underneath the rig on that little climb.

Right after the trip I went down to 7 mpg, and next week Doxon's pulled them and had them ultra sound cleansed.

Yes, tire pressure can make all the difference in the world.

The only shot I have of me in the trail.

And the exit.

The red Jeep is the guy who helped spot me quite a few times.
That Jeep was only a few weeks old I believe when he took it through.

 

Did you do the whole trail? Both of those shots are very near Government Meadows. If you were going East, then you only did about 1/4 of the trail and that was the easy part

Going West to East, the trail starts out easy and gets progressively more difficult, so the most technical parts are on the East side. Going West, you hit the more serious obstacles first, then it gets easier and by the time you get to Government Meadows it's all over but the shouting

 

I did not catch it where this steep part is in this pic.

A FZ80 lost his running boards up there, and had to take them off due to damage.
They messed around up there for awhile, then met back up with me, then we caught the Naches at another entrance that starts out also pretty steep, but not like in the above picture.
We did head East.
I'd say it took us an hour to get through, maybe more.

This guy here has two nice galleries of the Naches from his pull down menu.

Lot of the pics look familiar ot me, but some don't.
The way his bumper is pointing here, I'd say he's heading West because that same sign I have on my trip report we were going the other way.

Check out his Naches Basin pics.
I don't reconize those, that must be another area?

 

That sign is right at Government Meadows. Judging from the pictures I have seen from you, you covered about 1/4 to 1/3 of the trail, the easiest stuff. You will have to come along on one of the planned trips all the way through this Summer so you will know where the rest of the trail goes

 

I just found this thread... I am SOO there!

8/1->3? cool.


WATRD ("Rob"?) are you looking to do a Newbie class before the run?

 

I'll go

 

depending on the condition of my truck im defenetly there.

 

Yes, we are planning on holding one of my "Trail 101 - Introduction to Off Road" classes Saturday morning before everyone heads out for a day of runs.

 

I haven't read this whole thread, but has a date been set yet?

 

August 1-3, you should come up Ken!

 

I very likely will! I'm hoping I can sneak my friend's ARB'd Xterra into the group as well--he's a fun guy to wheel with.

 

Ok everyone, we now have an RSVP page setup for this event as well as the new official name.

2003 Pacific Northwest Yota Jam

Please see this new thread for registration information.

Everyone is welcome! You don't have to be a Toyota owner to participate.

 

I'm registered!!! Is there going to be a running total or list that we can see? Just to get an idea of how many other people will be there?

 

Yep, click the Event Details link in the other thread.

 

Excellent! Thanks Rob!

 

When I visit the details page, it says no one has registered, yet I know many have. Why is this? BTW Ill be taking my 87, which I just blew the damn pinion seal in over the Mem. Day weekend. Doh!

 

Not sure, you should see a list on the right hand side. I'm seeing 26 entries listed right now. What browser are you using and have you changed any settings in it? This is what it should look like.

 

Just using standard internet exploder..not sure why she wont work. I dont have any screwy settings that I know of..what settings can make it nnot work?

 

Security and privacy settings in IE can screw with web pages sometimes. Are you not getting a summary page at all or is it just missing the list of people?

You can try going to WATTORA's main page, click on upcoming events on the left and then find the yotatech run in the area at the bottom of the page.
