Tillamook State Forest 07-01/02-2006




Had a blast this weekend, took off on Sat morning and camped out overnight with some folks from our club, and some others. Got to meet some more folks from Timbercrawler.com and Lucky 13.

Ran most of what was open, mainly the sections of Firebreak 5, Archers, and Hogsback. Walked around Crushers upper and lower, got to see a guy grenade a birf on his toyota/buggy. Hiking all over loose rocks 4' around uphill at 40 as a 3 pack a day smoker is NOT a good idea on a 95deg day lol.

Dusty as hell up there, but did manage to find one mudhole to blast through.

Never did need to use the new winch, so selling the steel cable and roller fairlead off of it since I have a hawse lead and synthetic rope all set to go on it.

All in all, had a great time again, the XJ performed just beautifully with the new 140amp alternator and the 750cca yellow top optima battery on it. Can't wait to go again, but hopefully it'll sprinkle just enough to knock the dust down, gonna be coughing up TSF for a week, lol.
