Check this out, great pictures and descriptions of a ride out in the Northwest:
Go to the link to see it all. Reiter Trails Offroad Run, April 26th, 2008
Seems the trails change drastically based on the winter storms, and how many boulders get pushed down the trail.

Me wants to go west for better wheelin.........
-
Dang it's beautiful. It sure would be fun to live out there. Just start driving and get lost in the mountains for a weekend. I've never made it past the Mississippi, so the pictures will have to do for a while :P Colorado is where I really wanna go.
-
I miss Colorado, its beautiful and everyone actually supports people being out wheelin, camping, etc. Hopin to make a trip out this summer, I have for the last two...It would be amazing if i could bring the TJ this time!
-
rented a suzuki xl7 back in 04 and went camping in colorado. jumped the thing a few times then flated it. when i returned it, there was a six inch long gash in the spare. awesome.
-
One of my goals is to head out west in the Jeep one day and just wheel all the good spots! I really want to do the rubicon trail!!!!
-
Just looked at the link. All I can say is when do we head out west boys? That looks AWESOME!

I plan on renting a Jeep for the Easter Safari the year I graduate. I don't care how much money I have... I'll get out there somehow.
-
One day. Maybe when I am like 70 and towing the Jeep behind a motor home with my wife! ;D

That gas would be KILLER!!!! It would be cheaper to buy a plane ticket in advance and then rent a Jeep. But if it's about the brother hood and the long trip.... whatever, I'll start saving :D
-
I could make it cheap. Tent, cooler, gas... nuff said.

We could partner with a car carrier guy to carry all the Jeeps, and we all fly or ride in custom vans, or ?? ??? It might be cheaper to fly and rent like you say, but I'd like to be in mine if at all feasible.
-
I've seen guys rent moving vans for a weekend and use them to tow the Jeep to River Rock. And while they're there they roll up the back and hang out and camp in there. Not a bad idea. Still gotta pay for gas though. It's a lot. The guys that have left out of LaGrange spent about $1600 on gas. :o
-
Here is what we do.
I believe Dadstoy is a trucker, we could get him to haul our 4x4s out there for gas and a good price. Then just have someone with a RV (like Chris) to go out there too and we could sleep there.
-
MOAB, UT is 1783 miles from my house, 27 hours straight thru, so it's do-able with a team. At 15 miles per gallon, and $4 a gallon, thats $476 each way for 6 guys, or $160 round trip fuel each, plus the MINI van rental for a week with unlimited miles for $500 a week (don't tell them where we're going) or $85 each, so before food, hotel/camp, and jeep freight, $250 each this way.
I figure $1000 each at the best on the cheap. What a country!
-
I want to go. Infact I was planning a trip to Wyoming to see a friend this summer but I am doing school instead. Either way, I am ready for a trip outwest
-
When the Jeep is actually done getting modded up, I can save money for trips instead of parts and I would love to go out there if at all possible.
-
that sounds like fun to me.... maybe gas will drop ....

And maybe the hippies will let us build more refineries in the States.....

Sheesh! I dont ever think that will happen again. :-[
-
I look for them to change it to 1/2 gallon or liter pricing so the pain is less mentally!
-
I've been out to Colorado for the past 2 years in the Winter season though. Everything is snow covered and that seems like it'd be fun. I want to wheel out there.
-
When gas gets to $6 a gallon they will drop it to 3.50 and we will all be so happy that gas is cheap again while the"Big Oil" celebrate yet another year of record profit.... nln you... Big Oil... nln you
-
when i was in Iraq last year they were selling gas there for about .78 a gallon when I first got there now its like .50cents a gallon... people were selling it on the streets, I would never buy any cause you just don't know what else is mixed in there, plus at the gas stations there was always drive by shootings.. ~>}

...at the gas stations there was always drive by shootings..
Well, you could still take the chance and get cheap gas.. you might not get shot... you never know.
-

Iraq = Macon ???
-
OUCH
-
Well if gas was that cheap in Macon I would make an armor box out of 1/4" steel and fill up all my rides.
-
i've always wanted to get out west too... i love the scenery, and want to get some pics out there. of course my money is focused on my 3B right now...
