scoobyclimbs Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Since I've been charged with the task to lead a trail run for WCSS8 ....Here's a sneak peak...From Surveyors ridge and more of the area. I was havin such a good time on this trip to the foothills of Parkdale, Odell. My 2 1/2 year old son was my co-driver.....he loves wheelin...... I met a few locals and this is the place to go ! I could not believe all the spurs/hillclimbs/mudholes /tight tracks...I think I stumbled on "wheelerdise"!!! There was awesome views of the valley below and Mt.Hood/Adams as well even though they were shrouded in clouds...! Note: no one has been this trail in a long time ...I had first tracks!!! Enough talk ...pictures are where it's at...just a tease for now.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiffy Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 awesome! Surveyor's Ridge, eh? doesn't sound familiar, but it looks like a place I was out at on the WA side of the river around Hood River... how do you get there? I may not be able to wait until august...

TheSubaruJunkie Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 How long does it take to get to the top? Will this be a full day of wheeling? Not sure how you have it planned out with the show and all... maybe we need to get up bright and early and head out at like 7ish. I remember last year me and Jibs were out having fun, and we had to put the peddle to the metal to get back in time for the award ceremony. I trust Eric will have everything straightened out. Those trails look prime! Definatly stock-subaru friendly. This is going to be one hell of a trip. -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stock rigs should have at least snow or AT tires as the terrain is pretty rocky...I found mudholes over a foot deep! I was gonna go for it but then turned around since I was alone and with my 2 1/2year old son.... getting stuck would be bad! He knows that word real well!LOL! I'm thinkin of doing trail runs Friday/Sat/ Sun. Perhaps a night run too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(: --Spiffy I used to mtn bike this place about 16years ago! Take hwy 35 South from Hoodriver and turn left on FS rd 17(aka Pinemount dr) East or (Take hwy 35 North and go East on FS rd 17) to road fs rd 640 and climb the powerline rd to your right(North) Get a green trails map or Mt.Hood FS map. I will provide maps to those attending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurboRX Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Looks fun and the views are sweet! Do i NEED special tires? My rx is completely stock and i just got it. Would love to take it out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet82 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 :slobber:Wow, I wanna go! Anyone headed through Utah with a good solid tow rig for my little trailer Queen? The pics look so inviting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobyclimbs Posted June 23, 2006 Author Share Posted June 23, 2006 Do i NEED special tires? My rx is completely stock and i just got it. Would love to take it out! Even with a low range some of the rocks are just huge so sidewall protection is a factor. Note the pics ...fist size or better rocks ! Better have a fullsize spare....I suppose you could run stock tires at your own risk...I'm being honest about the conditions and would'nt want anyone stranded out there....I'm headin out there Sun.

TheSubaruJunkie Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 Climbs... you say a trail run Friday? What time do you plan on being at the show? Me and Jibs will be ariving early Friday and will be ready for some wheelin! -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobyclimbs Posted July 22, 2006 Author Share Posted July 22, 2006 I plan on going up Friday perhaps that night for some lighted excursions ! I might take the day off...I just bought a house so I'm moving..ack! Call me when ya roll in my cell is 503-314-7535 Gregg It will be hot, dry, dusty ...However , Green point resivour is close by if ya wanna cool off...plus theres some kewl wheelin' up there....! If ya get a chance (from Parkdale) get on hwy 35 and head North towards Odell head up the hill and turn left (West) on Gilhouley rd takes you over Middle mtn tons of wheelin there. Get a Hoodriver county map from the store in Mt.Hood( small town) just head North on hwy 35. You might check to see if one of the small stores in Parkdale has them ....they are free! and very detailed(street names/fs rds/landmarks) but no topo.. Since your coming from hwy 97/26/35 A must is to check out Gunsight ridge! take the Bennet pass exit and enter the parking lot and stay left on the Primitive rd. the views will are well worth it and abit of rocky sections. I suggest you get a Mt.Hood nat. Forest service map! Badger lake is another spot to check out. ( you need a NW forest pass day pass $5 most stores or gas stations have them) here's a sneak peak I was just there last weekend...the last two shots are from last year...
