TSF / Browns Camp Winter Run

[wrecked]

I wish I could make it. However, none of my jeeps will be available for use by then.

As a warning, you may want to be prepared for snow. Last year I was at TSF during the same weekend and we got heavy snow. We were going to camp that night at the top of crushers and run it in the morning depending on how snowy it really was. There was some snow already, but not enough to keep us off most of the rocks. We settled down for the night inside the trucks around 8:30(too dark and wet..dangerous to run anything at that time) I couldn't sleep, so I poked my head out the door an hour later and my bushwackers had about an inch and a half of the white stuff on them. We threw a couple snowballs at the other truck to wake them up and get a decision as to stay or retreat to safety. We decided to head out as we wanted to avoid any bad situations. We started to pack up and reorganise and it got super heavy. By heavy I mean, 2nd & low gear, wipers full speed, couldn't see 5 feet in front of us. It took us about 3.5 hours to get from crushers out to the highway.

Cool, id like to check out that place.

 

[BPB]

don't forget you need an oregon atv permit they are realy anal up there and they are only like $10 at gi joes.

 

[Doyle]

They also sell them at the last gas station on hwy 6 before you get up there, also $10. I know whenever I go up there with people someone forgets to get one before we meet and up and we remember it usually when we are filling up there.

ok, so Ill plan on heading down to Tillamook/Sand Lake sometime Friday. then up to browns camp Saturday.

will the orv permit cover both sand lake and tsf?
also, I think you need an orange flag for the dunes.

hope to have my new spare, and jack by then too.
speaking of jacks, is there anyplace near portland with a better deal on a hi lift or mile marker winch?
thanks for the advice.
see you all there...

i will be in for sand lake as well. camping overnight at sand lake?

-permits good for all of Oregon
-there is a day use fee at sand lake, i think it's $5.00
-flags are required on the sand, must be 9' min.
-not sure about other places, but i paid about $60 for my hi-lift at 4wheel parts.

 

[jeepkid2000]

i dont know for sure about camping yet.

 

[BPB]

harbor freight has off-brand high lift jacks dirt cheap. if you are comming from trhe north it is on your way.

 

[CanMan]

If Im going to be going to Sand Lake friday, camping there, or at browns camp that night. Not driving back to the Seattle area and coming back the next day.

I'm probably going to be getting my gears done on the d30 within the next week, so I should be able to make it on the 25th. As long as nothing else pops up with my heep. Still not sure if I want to lock up the front while I'm at it.

Anyone had any problem with thier d30 after putting a hard locker in it? I was thinking a lock right. I don't want to put a whole lot of of money into the 30 cause i'm not planning on keeping it very long.
