After the 101 class by the Toyota Trails Team Mark from Metal Tech lead us on a trail run. He was driving Grandpa FJ seen below.
The area was beautiful and the trails were nice and wide(except for a few tight spots). I think I can count on one hand how many times I heard a branch scrape down the side of my rig.
After the first leg of the run we pulled back out on to a main dirt road. There awaiting our arrival was the Tillamook Sheriff. Guess who he decides to pick on.......yep the one FJ with California plates and our Toyota Trails Team Guides.
They did not have their Oregon State Off Road Vehicle Permit. I expected a nice friendly warning........nope he ends up getting a cite for not having his permit. So all 15 rigs sit out there and wait for the Sheriff to scratch out his ticket. The Toyota Trail Team drives all the way out to there to give class and teach people how to 4x4 in a safe and responsible manner and this is the thanks they get! Luckily the rest of us had our permits.
Back to the trail....So my better half tagged along with me.....sick and tired she was a real trooper. This is during one of the roughest parts of the trail!
Overall it was a great experience and we were able to meet some cool people. That and the FJ Tool bag made it worth the 8 hours of driving to stay just for the day. The guy in the Stock FJ in front of me just bought it! You can see the temp plate in the back.

That was an awesome day, my first time out at Browns. Big thanks to the trail team and Mark for setting everything up. Nice shots Cassidy, I especially enjoy the nice clean shot of my temp plate .
Thanks for posting the pictures! I too had to back out last minute as I got called in to work. Really bummed/pissed as I had been planning on this since the day Mark made it available!
Great pictures ... I spent the day at work. I thought for sure it would be a rainy muddy mess for ya all. Good trails!!!

As everyone has said, it was an awsome time. The FJ Trail Team put on a great clinic on Friday morning. After that, Mark from MetalTech and Robby from the Trail Team led all the FJs on a trail run. We ran Powerline and Cedar Tree and part of Firebreak Five. By then, it was late afternoon and most everyone had to get going. But Bjorn, Bill and I hadn't had enough, so we continued on up the upper section of FB5. That was a blast! A really tough hill climb just before the cut off to Crushers. The FJs made it look easy. We got out of there at dark.
On Saturday, the Cascade Cruisers put on a great event. The challenges were fun and we rode most of the trails in the area. Robby impressed everyone with his skills on Rock Garden and Little Rubicon. The raffle and dinner was a perfect end to a perfect day. Even the weather cooperated. Bernd was the big winner at the raffle. Congrats Bernd!!!
