What to do?

[Cherikon]

Hey Northwestern Brethren-

I will be back up in WA (Oak Harbor area) on the 20th through the 24th to see the fam for Turkey Day. I have wheeled at Walker Valley before- most of the easy stuff (it was really fun though), but have never been any where else while I lived up there-

I have also wheeled up at Mt. Baker- those logging roads are fun to negotiate in full snow cover plus the river that winds around Baker.

So I guess what I am trying to ask is: is there any trails within 2 hours of Whidbey Island that are decent to wheel-

Some specs of my XJ might help(granted it's nothing extreme):
1995 Sport
2 inch BB(Front coil spacers and rear full length AAL)
245/75R16 MT/R's- Open/Open in D30/8.25
JCR Stage II RockerGuards

Just curious- I will be missing the Socal chapter's Rockin XJ Jambo this year, but I want to get some wheeling in while I am on vacation.

Thanks for advice/info,

L8r,
Coullt

P.S.- Adam (adamusmc2002), are you going to be around?

Sounds good- what kind of terrain is Rieter and what city is it located near?

Mud, rocks, water. Near the town of Monroe, east about 15 or so miles. I havent been to Walker Valley yet, but if Ryan(blkxjkrawler) chimes in, he may want to put somethign together for Walker.

Are you actually in town on the 20th Or is that a transit day? I am totally buried W/ family on the 23rd and have to work the 21st,22nd, and 24th. I am off on monday the 20th, and could do a Walker run. Right know Walker is a good old fashioned NW Mess (Slippery roots, mud, tight trees). We could keep it faily light especially if you have to drive back to San Dee-ago, which is german for a Whales V@&!n@.

The 20th would be an in town day- I am leaving the night of the 17th and driving straight through (22 hours) to WA and plan on being on Whidbey by Sat(18th) night. That might work for me- did they ever catch that killer in Walker Valley? When I left, there were signs posted everywhere about a killer loose in the woods- the signs looked real, so I never went back.

I'm glad you caught on to the locale.....most people ask me where a whale's v-whatever is-

Yeah They caught him, but there was a lack of evidence and I was released about a year ago:gag:

I have never heard of that, or seen signs warning of that, On the weekends there is generally a pretty strong DNR and sherrif contingency present. Plus they have added hidden survellance camera's at the parking area. I Wheel there often and have never worried about people lurking in the woods. keep me posted on your status, and pm if you want to go on the 20th. Like I said we could just run some of the lighter stuff,that should only take about a half a day
