fastenova Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Hey guys, I'm finishing up the minor things on my sube this week and am wanting to take it out this weekend to find some dirt. I'm in Salem and looking for areas around here (Vancouver area to Corvallis roughly). Anyone know of good spots for a beginner (I've done some offroading in my Ranger but not a lot) or want to SHOW me some areas? I'm hoping to go out Saturday late AM as long as the weather holds up. Thanks! Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastenova Posted April 29, 2006 Author Share Posted April 29, 2006 I grew up in Sandy, love mt hood :cool: I'm going up to Crooked Finger today, but I'd definitely be down in a couple of weeks. My dad has yet to see my rig anyway, so that'd give me a good excuse to drive it out to visit him. Olallie lake is sweet. Haven't spent much time in Hood River, but I'd reckon there are a lot of trails off 35? Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtydrifter Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Yeppers! I've been going to Olallie since '71... did yesterday's rain keep the dust in check? how were the olallie dirt/gravel roads? how much traffic on the weekend? bp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been going to Olallie since '71... did yesterday's rain keep the dust in check? how were the olallie dirt/gravel roads? how much traffic on the weekend? bp I went up to Hoodriver Sunday with my son for short hike . We cruised up Post canyon rd and then I hooked on Binns hill rd up high and wound up just below Mt.Defiance and blew thru some snow drifts wahoo! Dug out and pulled a minivan stuck in the snow buried to the frame! Subie pull no#4! the snow is still around 3500-4,000ft and deep drifts! Olallie is just out of the question for now given it's 5,000ft maybe in a few weeks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
