"Jeep Adventures"

[lowranger]

My backyard sucks so far, can I play at your house?

Sure! Plenty of room in our back yard (Mendocino National Forest).

 

[lowranger]

Went out exploring yesterday in the National Forest with a friend that has a CJ-5. Saw alot ow wildlife.... Lots of deer (1 Buck), Turkeys, quail and one Bear.

 

[lowranger]

Even got high enough to get into a little of the white stuff.

 

[lowranger]

Was checking out one old road that was looking pretty good that was working its way down to a creek where we might be able to do a little fishing..... was having to cut a few trees out of the road on the way....

 

[lowranger]

Then it all came to a sudden end with the road washed out.

 

[lowranger]

So we took another way back to enjoy the views.

It would be ideal to build an overland TJ/LJ to drive on the street yet not have to worry about crossing trail obstacles like that tree.

wow, just wow! The southwest is on my bucket list before I kick the bucket. I'm having my second child in June so it will be some time, but I will get there

Did you go around the game refuge? Looks like a beautiful day up there!

The tree was no problem..... Just used the chainsaw and continued on.

This is a great thread... esp on a Monday morning sitting at my desk at work on the 12th floor of a bldg downtown..

We did go through the Game Refuge.

Hey @Chris! @lowranger brings up an excellent point! Can we get a "Jeep Trips" sub on this forum?

And put it high up on the list so more people see it without having to scroll down!

I did some trails and back roads MondayView attachment 39175 View attachment 39176 View attachment 39177 View attachment 39178 View attachment 39179 View attachment 39180 View attachment 39181 View attachment 39182 View attachment 39183 in the Tahulya State Forest in Belfair WA. Nothing serious as I was by myself and while my wrists are no longer broken they are less than 50%. Just a nice drive in the woods.

Man I ALMOST went to Tahuya this weekend, but it was Mother's Day and I wound up taking my wife and daughter out to the Big 4 ice caves (per the wife's request). I'm dying to go though! I heard some of it is closed off for logging, is that true?

Not where the trails are. There are logged off areas that the trails pass through, but active logging is not taking place where we drive.
