PDX / Vanc Annual Thanksgiving Run @ TSF

[2xtreme]

Re: PDX / Vanc Annual Thanksgiving Run

As far as I know, nobody has made it when there's even the slightest bit of moisture on it.

I spotted both Pat (when he was still here) and Matt up "Mini Rubi" with no issues at all. I have not seen anyone attempt it in the snow

Attempting to do TSF during the rainy/snowy season in 2wd is beyond stupid!!

Rod, I would love to make a trip down there soon, unfortunatly Thanksgiving weekend isn't going to work for me.

But was the ground wet when you spotted them?

Like I said before, when the conditions are dry, Mini Rubicon is doable. Both Rod and 95heep have made it up it countless times before. However, I have yet to see someone successfully make it up unassisted when its wet out.

Example 1: Jeepboy381 May 08. Denied.

Example 2: Jeepboy381 October 07. Denied.

Example 3: Jeepboy381 November 06. Denied.

Between the wet clay and rocks, traction is nonexistent. Hopefully someone will prove me wrong this trip. I would love to see someone make it up under wet conditions. Heck, hopefully I'll get the chance to prove myself wrong. :shhh:

Sorry to pick on you Josh.

Well, I seem to remember it being wet, I thought it had rained the night before. However, I can't seem to find a thread or photos of the time that I am thinking of so I might be completely wrong.

I wonder if I am confusing more than 1 trip down there with another? NWFest 06 was dry and dusty, maybe I am confusing it with this trip?

Just got my oregon ORV tag. If you didn't know already, you need one. $10.50 for a two year tag at G.I. Joes ticket master. I'm in for sure.

Re: PDX / Vanc Annual Thanksgiving Run

ok here comes my stupid question for the day.......... How do i get a washington ORV tag, and where do I need it?

Re: PDX / Vanc Annual Thanksgiving Run

There are no Washington ORV tags that I have ever seen. Some places (Evans Creek) require a NW forest service pass.

Re: PDX / Vanc Annual Thanksgiving Run

I don't understand why you would think that Joes would have a Oregon pass since were hours away from there...
