I do not yet... Hopefully soon. I'm trying to figure out best time without running in to problems from the wild fires. I'll have to hammer out days soon, though. It will be the end of summer. September more than likely.
Went to Snoqualmie National Forest through Wilkerson last week.
http://youtu.be/xLNlmpDaT2o my 3rd attempt at video stuff.
If anyone ever has a Tuesday or Wednesday off we'd love for you to join us. Our crappy schedules at work are limited right now and I'm unable to take weekends off. Hopefully we can get another major trip to Tahuya or something planned this next month. This 60degree weather has been awesome, and I wonder if the Wenatchee trail Shufly and I went on is more passable these days.

[MENTION=100172]Jim82[/MENTION] thanks for the info. We are super excited to go on that trip. I was just wondering so I can tell my boss way in advance so no one else will take time in sept. in my dept. at work. Hopefully we will have the 350 4speed swap done in my bros truck it would be awesome to see that thing in action. The pics look great looked like I fun trip.

Thanks bud.
The lack of snow is rather disappointing. My snowboarding seasons pass is going to waste.
Good info on Mt. Loop. We were thinking on going up that way here soon in search of snow. Now we'll just go over to Wenatchee Nat Forest- Fortune Creek Trail.

I think all those trails are closed Jim. Might want to call the Cle Elum Ranger station first.

[MENTION=100172]Jim82[/MENTION] no I wish I would have made it. Life will be in the way the rest of the month it seems. With the exception of a couple days during the weekends.
I'm very tempted to go. Not sure if it'll work out. But several times I've almost made a post to see if any ones going to try to get in.

Good idea.Though I said Fortune Creek, I know it's closed, as it was closed when we went in December. I think they Closed them all,Fortune Creek, Mine To Market, Van Epps... back on 1 DEC. What I meant was Salmon La Sac, there are cabins and stuff back there... But, maybe people get in and out in the winter by snowmobile only. I'll give them a call before we drive 3 hours.
I'm going to take this week off work, and register to attend. I'll go if I know another person attending. If not I'll cancel before the cancelation deadline and get my registration fee refunded. Maybe take an extra two days at the end and swing by Moab on the way home.
Anyone in the Seattle area attending the FJSummit or attended in the past?

28 March, yup. Moab is only like 1-2 hours off the highway coming home; seems silly to me to not stop off.
Sounds like a good time. There is also the Northwest Overland Rally in June in Plain, WA. I will be attending that, too. I think this is the actually sponsors event page NW Overland Rally.

Great video!!! Love the soundtrack and drone footage. Maybe it exists out there, but I think it would be awesome if a aerial drone camera could follow a vehicle automatically from a preset distance. I'm sure if it's not available now, it will be eventually.

Thank you. Them drones are pretty bad ass, that's my buddies drone. He want's to get footage of us while driving about. But, he'll need to be a passenger while someone drives his Jeep. Next time we go out we'll get some footage like that. Will look bad ass, like a high speed chase from a helicopter view.
Very cool. I'm surly going to bring my dog. Unsure if i'm going to camp or just rent/split rent a hotel room. It will be one of those many times I wish I had a Roof Top Tent. We'll stay in close contact after the registration period opens. Will be even better if fuel prices stay < $3.00...

JK Experience/ Walker Valley
There has been many talks about wanting to make it up to Walker Valley, and I think most of us know by now that and with the exception of the Forest Service Roads, the trails are all locked up. You have to go over big ass boulders to get into the main "off-roading" trails. I will not be subjecting my rig to such rigors, as I have a few payments left. However, for those that are interested, below is a great video you can watch that shows just how challenging this place is.
Also, at ~14min mark, they are at the Moses Lake Sand Dunes, a place that is on the list to go to this spring/summer/fall. Can't wait for that one.
