Ben, like 2mny said, thank you for your work over there. I can only say one thing, GO RIDING THIS WEEKEND! If you don't, you'll kick yourself over there when you have time to think about it. I'd ride with you this weekend myself anywhere you wanted to go if I did not have family obligations from now til' the first of the year. Look me up when you get back, we'll put the Yamaha's through the paces.

Anyone want to go to Moses on the weekend of January 17th? It's really the first time I'll be able to get out and ride from now until then. It will be a day trip, and I'm not sure whether Discobunny will be going or not yet. No dust, no crowds in January!

Hap, I'm glad you had an easy one today. It's hit or miss with this weather.

 

Ben

I ride a stock Blaster without paddles, but I've never been to Beverly (I've been to Moses Lake)
I went to Oregon Thanksgiving and didn't need them, (But I'm told I would in the summer) and headed back for New Years

Let everyone here answer the question of weather or not you need paddles, but I don't think so.

nwcutie has a 4 year old she takes riding (he won't be there this weekend) but I bet she'd love to pick your brain about your boys quad. She's getting ready to find one for him

thanks guys,my only plans are to break in my quad this weekend.my wife got my this quad last week and i hurt my back last week so i had been resting since last thursday,i can not afford to get hurt,i have soldiers to go back to.

 

I went back to find MeIsCheech's post on the directions to Beverly to re-post them for ben... I gave up... too many posts (wait that's my name).

To get to Beverly, go east on I-90 across the Vantage bridge. Once across the bridge, exit to the right onto highway 26 and follow the road down river for maybe a mile or so, then take highway 243 south along the river again. You'll go about three or four miles and pass Wanapum Dam, at seven or eight miles you'll pass under a train trestle, take the next left (onto crabcreek rd. I believe). The ORV area will be on your right (south side) at about two to two and a half miles. There's a kinda beat-up sign at the entrance. If you go past the pavement, you've gone too far.

 

does anybody knows about any hotels close to? i really don't feel like camping,i had been camping for the last 8 months.

 

Updated Roster Wed.

have any updates, corrections to me by noon.

Hi there Ben. Welcome home, even if it's for a short break.

What kind of ride are you looking for this weekend? Just an easy ride with the family to break in the quad and have some fun? I'll bet the young-in would like to ride with dad huh [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] .. Wife and kid going? Are you thinking of going to Beverly (bet you've seen enough sand in the last eight months huh)? If not going to Beverly, I'm sure we can come up with something to get you out. Like YoDadda said, if would be great for you to get out somewhere. Let's find something!!!!!!

Yo daddy,

Since nobody really is there on mondays, we could create some kind of track out of the 4x4 trails at tahuya. There are alot of new trails to the west of elfendahl (or so i hear). There were alot of options on that side. A bit more open also.

If you got the time, I'll meet you at Elphendahl staging area monday morning. Just say the time and I'll be there.

Todd

 

ben welcome to the thread! as for a motel, i think you may have to go to vantage to find one, but i could be wrong.
