Looking through the forums I read “Novice Tahuya Run Saturday May 3rd”.
Here was an opportunity to wheel right in my own back yard. More exciting was an opportunity to make some freinds who enjoy wheeling. We have a number of expedition type wheeling adventures under out belt, but need a little more technical trail experience. With that in mind, we set off for the Tahuya trail meetup. A number of folks showed up for the run, some in FJ Cruisers and others in Jeeps. These folks traveled from Edmonds, Olympia and everything inbetween to try out the trails.You can see some a number of photos I shot on the trail:
Or take a look at some really good photos by Ripsnort on his Flickr gallery. When not running trails Ripsnort is a professional action photographer. Looking at his shots, I have a lot to learn.This was a novice run led by Laurance and John. There was never any pressure to try a trail you felt uncomfortable on or force a bad line rather than backing up and trying again. We also had the opportunity to watch the more experienced folks work more difficult lines including this short video of Laurance guiding John up and down a tight little incline.
The FJs look awesome. Nice Video, looks like lots of fun. Just got back from Idaho, where we did a bit of off roading ourselves. Amazing where a 4×4 will take you. WBF
