Default washington state places to ride?

I think what you are refering to might also be called P5000 (you park in a big muddy area and have to ride thru some big blocks by the gate to get onto the logging road) i heard about the jordan road place once but i have never been there and acording to www.nmaoffroad.org Walker Vally has reopened here is their article "Walker Valley Reopening!

12/23/2002 - On Saturday, December 28, the Walker Valley ORV area officially reopens! Instead of the original winter closure imposition from November 1 to April 1, you will be able to recreate with your family on about half of the existing trail system!

You must do it right though! Obey the instructions and signs regarding which trails are open to which types of use (bike, quad, 4WD, see the attached flyer). You must inform all of your friends, anyone you know who is headed up there, indeed, anyone you see at Walker Valley, that it is imperative that they comply! Various user groups are also providing volunteers over the first few weekends of this reopening, to help with education, enforcement, and monitoring of trail conditions.

This reopening happened because of you! Your letters, emails and phone calls to Commissioner Doug Sutherland made him realize that he needed to get involved, to improve regional management attitudes, to find a way for all parties and requirements to be satisfied.

This reopening also happened because of Skagit M/C, the Northwest Motorcycle Association, the Northwest Quadriders Association, and the Timber Tamers 4WD Club. Activists in each organization have worked hundreds of hours just on this reopening; attending meetings, collecting letters and petitions, performing back-breaking work to close specific trails and make needed improvements to the trails to be re-opened, and posting signs (which the user organizations also donated). These same people will be working just as hard on the education, enforcement, and monitoring. Take a moment to thank the volunteers you will see in the parking lot and on the trail for what they have done for you!

Tread lightly! Ensure your bike is quiet! Ride only on the trails that are open to you! Ride like you would have to go back and repair any trail damage you cause yourself! The DNR's goal is year-round operation at Walker Valley, and this reopening is indeed a test. Everyone believes that intelligent, active resource management, with the right attitude out of the land managers and the users, combined with plenty of volunteer support, can make this work for all! Help prove that true!

This is an incredible accomplishment, perhaps one nobody expected would really be possible. It shows that a strong grassroots response, dedicated leadership, a willingness to find common ground, and a desire to volunteer time and effort to make things happen, can result in win-win outcomes. We have achieved much with this, but it must only be the start of a new era for motorized recreation on state lands in Washington. We need to press to close the widening gap between demand and opportunity for this fantastic form of family recreation. For example, a next step is to see Walker Valley managed so that there are always 36 miles of trail open, regardless of seasonal or logging operation impacts on specific trails. We can make it happen!

Yea that sounds like the same place i'm talking about. All night i tried to think of some other areas to ride, and i cant seem to come up with any. All the other riding spots are down south, or you can go up to Canada, i heard there is good riding up there. I have never been there though, thats just what i have heard.
