Well for one, initially this was my idea that was highjacked by Twitch... and being that we both live in N. Idaho... thats our backyard... so if ya'll wanna come play, you're welcome to join us. For two... I don't know where 7 mile is. or what it is really.... I'm guessing an ORV park... which if that's the case, my car isnt set up for anything other than forest roads... anyhow.

don't worry Tyler... I wont do this car wrong. shes gonna get a regular mud bath and this is the north end of Hayden on hayden creek/forest service rds. wheres 7 mile?

How many would rather do a Sunday run? Because frankly I'm perfectly ok with that myself..... heck I think I'd rather a Sunday/Monday. I don't have school those days.

Yeah there were plenty of little offshoots along the way and I didn't even get past the junction... its a good thing I went up there again because I took the wrong road at first! oops. I thought about going into the grassy area but I figured since I didn't have anyone to get me unstuck and I didn't know how deep those puddles were, that it'd be best not to... lol I can get my hands on a bucket, shovel AND axe no problem. Next time I head up I'll keep an eye out as well.

That's incredible! What a looker! Best of luck! I hope to see more pix in the future! Oh and Welcome to the Board!!!

I'll be more excited once I know for sure that I can go!!!

Yeah I figure after this weekend it will be more torn up. I'm just hoping we don't hit a lot of traffic when we go up there.... I noticed there were some signs that said no camping on the main road but I'm sure that once you get up farther (like from this point onward I would suppose) they don't care as much. Twitch, you would know better than I if rangers check out this area often or not... or if its allowed beyond a certain point perhaps? Because I know you can take this road to bumblebee so it must change somewhere...

Yeah when I lived in Montana there was one like that.. if they wanna pay more staff to do what I could do for free then whatever... as long as their staff doesn't try to tell me something about MY car that's not true. Anyhow... finally got tires mount/balanced and insurance on my car today!!! Kinda hard to see the tires.... Took her out and broke her in. Noticed some things on the first run that need fixing... my passenger door is messed up.... half the time the dome light is on because the sensor that says it's open is being triggered... gonna have to do some reading on that. Also my cruise doesn't work.. 3rd car it hasn't worked on... lol. Had to drive home lookin thru a nasty window cuz I forgot the reservoir for washer fluid is broken. And it kinda feels like my seat is off kilter, like i'm leaning farther back on my right side. I'm sure I'll notice more things as time goes on... I'm just happy to have my car going again. Oh and I don't remember if I mentioned it but the other day the auto locks stopped working all the sudden and I can't get them to work now... gonna have to look into that too... ---------------- Now playing: The Truth- Jason Aldean via FoxyTunes

New car.

I went up that way today - finally got my tires and insurance on my car. Here's current conditions... This is at the junction of the two forest roads. I don't remember there usually being grass in that area to the right... am I correct or does my memory fail me? Of course I'm not sure I've been up there this early in the year either... the river or creek that runs next to this is REALLY high right now.

These aren't good shots of crazy wheelin' or anything... but the mud sure was fun!

Ummm so since you were gone for so long... I'm gonna say "Welcome to the board!" like you're new cuz... well you're new-ish again...

There's a good chance I'll just have to meet ya'll up there later... I have school till 4 and I'm guessing you will want to get started earlier than that... I think I'm familiar enough with the roads we're talking about to be able to find a big ol' group of rednecks drivin' Subaru's and playin' in the dirt. Perhaps we could plan a 5 o' clock rendezvous at the junction up there.

Dibs on 1st passenger ride. and ask anyone... I'm the inexperienced/safe driver. so i wont be doing any dangerous rallying... I just like cruisin up there hopefully there's a little mud.

yeah I figured camping one night would be easier for those coming from places like Orient and Elk, WA and whatnot. and as you know I jump at every opportunity to camp that I possibly can. as for June 11. well we've already had 1 person say they cant that day so how about June 18th? that gives everyone a few weeks to get their cars in order... and what do you mean by light rally 1 wheel?? are you making fun of "Rook"?? :-p

I'll let you know when I get back from my first next weekend...

Alright kids - lets pick a date. And a thought... to make it easier for those who might travel a bit to make it into Idaho Ntl Forests... should we find a spot near the end of the day to kick up a fire and roast some dogs? Then whoever stays can head back the next morning. Just an idea...

Yeah I was thinking mid/late June. That'd be awesome if you could come down!

No worries CChic... since this was mostly my idea :-p and my car probably cant go anywhere yours cant... you'll at least have a partner in crime I'll let those boys get themselves highcentered on the trails i tell them not to go on to begin with.

No bites yet, but there is a thread called Poor Mans Run about meeting up sometime.

Anybody?

Idk if you can really consider ol' Blue new... Glad you got it back though

Yeah I forget the specifics but no power cutting tools or torches for sure. At least not in the one I go to... I'm sure there's others in the area that are less strict though... even still. I don't know how to weld and even if I cared that much about replacing it now.. I don't have the time. I might eventually try to find a corner to bolt on... but its driveable and thats all I really care about. It's my DD that I'm not using as a DD yet... I've been driving my dads crappier than crappy gas mileaged GMC truck. It's got a lot of get up and go, and frankly its REALLY fun to drive.. esp being a girl but I just cant afford the gas.

are there guidelines on bringing stuff we make to sell?

Around 4:15 today I was driving North on Highway 95 in Coeur d'Alene and saw a purdy light blue BRAT... almost missed it so I couldnt tell what year... looked like about early 80's maybe?? It was at the intersection by Silverlake Mall... Just wondering if you're on here! Almost got in a wreck rubbernecking.... oops...
