Any ideas for location? I've heard of some trails off I-90... or maybe a vehicle-friendly beach somewhere.. bring some grub to grill? I know there's a million logging roads in the SW corner of WA state... Weyerhauser owns some serious acreage out there... not sure what we could get away with though :P

I would also be down for cold weather camping, if anyone else is equipped enough.

I was thinking around early march. I'll have new brakes to burn up on the mountains.

Someone said start a new thread, so here it is.

I'd be down too. I'm not set up for CWC but definitely a meet n greet or warm weather camping.

I'm up for a meet too. perhaps if we have it on the west coast, a bunch of us Spokane/Idaho people can meet and caravan over together.

Tentatively count me in. I know there are some trails maintained by local offroad clubs up by Table Mountain (Central WA off I90). The logging roads in SW WA are plentiful but they're well maintained gravel roads.

not yet set up for CWC but totally up for March forest road driving or heading to the beach.

you're not invited bumper boy.... :) totally kidding. It would be a chance for us to meet. Ellensburg is where it shows in the map, is that right? That sounds great as I would like a bit more challenge than a gravel road and Elllensburg is pretty central.

Haha :) It's about a half hour NW of Ellensburg. Maybe we could get a trail map from a club but I don't know anything about the trails, just went down one a little ways in my friend's truck.

Says there is about 100 miles of 4x4 trail. Check it out...opinions?

As for timeline, April is pretty much out for me. Baby due then, but afterwards would be good. Probably better for weather too. I'm not againt going now if it is open.

I'm seeing a lot of stuff that's not open till summer due to soggy conditions. Nachess pass looks cool. but not till august :(

wenatchee or E-burg are great ideas, I say let's stick with those for the eastsiders sake.

now dates... early march? or early may? I'm leaning towards may... hopefully we can luck out with some Eastern WA dry weather

If the invitation is open to 2nd Gens and Im able to take time off work, than I'd definitely like to go down :-)

All Gen's would be fine with me. I don't care if they were nissan or not, i'd just like to meet people from the forum to run with and hang.

I don't speak for everyone though...

I think we have a better chance in May for drier weather. the further from the first of May the better for me.

Mine's gonna be bone stock until at least May, so I'm not sure about the "challenging" part. :)

But I'll keep an eye on this thread, and there's a fair chance I'll come out anyway.

Well, challenging...more than a gravel road. I'm sure there would be easy trails. i don't have more than a PML and MT tires so I don't want too hard core. If we do those types, I'd ride and take pictures and video on those trails.

Yeah I don't want to do anything hard core either, I've got H/Ts. But definitely more than gravel roads.
