New trails in tahoya?

[87rangerboy]

I have heard that there are some new trails over in tahoya. Is any of this true??? If it is I mite be headed over there soon. I gota try out my new sidewinder winch.

Yeah, there are 2 new hill climbs and a dug out trail. They're pretty cool, you should check them out.

How tough are they? You think my ranger with a 6inch lift and 33's would be able to do it? i have a limited slip in the rear.

You could do the dug out trail and maybe of the climbs - Yellow Jackt Saddle - if you pick a good line. The rock hill climb is beyond the capabilities of your rig. I've seen a lot of buggies not make it.

You planning on going out there any time soon? I got a winch for xmas and i an ichen to put it to good use.

Not til summer at the very soonest.... If at all.

If you want some local people to wheel with, check this place out... It's Seattle area based, more so Bremerton.

yea thanks i will check it out. do you know if these guys are extreme wheelers?

Most of them have fairly capible rigs, but they run Tahuya...

It will be probably a month before I go out there agian, or any wheeling for that matter. I have to do this stupid damn senior project... I freakin HATE state graduation requirements...

EDIT: There is some good info on the new trails. area in that link Sunks gave. I think you have to sign up for the forum, but it's worth the time! They seem like pretty good people too (all local people, it is not a nationwide forum).

When you enter the trails from the staging area, if you stay to the right (when we went last time we stuck to the left and went over to the wide hill climb for a bit) and follow that trail, it used to come out at a dirt road at the bottom of a small hill (which if followed takes you over to a big water hole, and further to a rock pile). It still comes out to that road, but the hill climb is SUBSTATIALLY different that it used to be, and there is a bypass trail to go around it (legal bypass). That, if I'm not mistaken, is where all the new trails are, they are all just hill climbs, and some pretty nasty ones at that.
I want to try Yellowjacket next time I'm there though (unless it is alot different in person...) becuase it looks liek the easiest of the new hills.

I should be headed out there sometime in February, I want to wait for a couple dry days in a row to dry them rocks up.

 

[87rangerboy]

yea just not too many dry days or all the mud will be gone. i am ichen to try out some new up gades. i think i finialy fixed the electrail problem i had last time i went.

 

[87rangerboy]

let me know when you go. i would really like to go.

 

[dogboy]

Depending on how much work I do on the project, and how long the writeups (the project should only take at most a weekend to do, and I'm doing that starting Friday) and all that takes me, the very end of February might be doable for me!

See, you are probably the type that does things early, I am a very bad procrastinator, and it bites me in the ass EVERY single time...

 

[87rangerboy]

i finishe mine the nite before it was due. but my project was easy so yea.

 

[dogboy]

Are you talking about the senior "profilio" or "project"?
Our Senior portfolio was due back in early December, but our senior Project isn't due untill mid April, but we have a bunch of "due dates" along the way to make sure people like me don't wait until April 14th to have it done by April 15th...
