Western Washington Off-Roading Trip - Presidents day weekend!
 

Our last outing was so successful we had to have another one...


WHERE: FT LEWIS training areas (they arent used and we are military so no trespassing issues) south of LACEY WA

WHEN: FEB 14-16 (it involves a campout and bon fire) PRESIDENTS DAY WEEKEND

WHY: Why not?!

WHAT: Water obstacles, mud, hill climbs, and lots and lots of trails along with us shooting on the improvised rifle/pistol range (its actually an old gravel pit but its what we have...)
The first day is going to be the muddy day at the training area, followed by bonfire/campout/BBQ with a trip up to Capital Peak forest on day 2.

COST: Zero other than fuel, beer and bullets.

NOTE: most of the people going are driving modified jeeps so I need as many rovers there as possible to uphold our image - xb70valkarye did a FANTASTIC job on our last trip!

SAFETY NOTE: MANY OF US GOING ON THIS TRIP ARE MILITARY, SO WE ARE PRETTY STRINGENT ABOUT KEEPING THE DRIVING AND SHOOTING SEPERATE FROM THE DRINKING.

WHAT TO BRING: your vehicle (preferably a land rover but we have a BUNCH of jeeps going too along with some pick-ups), LOTS of beer for after the driving is over, firewood is "furnished" (we ARE in a forest), camping gear, we have some tow straps, recovery gear, and winches but bring yours too, and whatever food you will need for a 3 day trip.

NOTE TO "COOKS": we are having a BBQ the first night so if you have a decent receipe for on the grill bring it along and we shall see if you measure up to the "fat kid"...

Did the pics from the last trip get posted yet? I am eager to see what I missed out on. Once again I wish I could make it but won't be able to. I am getting laid off from my job February 14 so I will be going home to look for a job. Poor excuse to miss what sounds like it could be a great trip I know.
