Thanks. I'll be up for wheelin with you. If your ever up North in P town let me know and we can do some trails in this area.

Sounds good. I'm not up north too often, but now I could have an excuse.....and I've never wheeled brown's camp.

Ever wheel Shotgun? It's a pretty fun playground.

Not yet. I do know Browns Camp well. Let me know and I'll show you around.

Anyone hear of a North/South road in eastern Oregon that pretty much goes border to border? Oregon Backroad? Can't remember the name. It was established several years ago. All I know is it started (or ended) east of Lakeview. If it is still around, it would be a great expedition trip.

I'm going to be in Sunriver this weekend and plan to check out this area. The snow level dropped this week so we'll see how far we get. Looks like a very interesting spring run anyway. I'll post my findings when I get back.

Anyone in the area, PM me, we'll head up on Friday (the 23rd) afternoon.

So our run only lasted a couple hours but it was a great time. We entered Trail 3 from the south side off of FS road 4525 and we only made it about half up the trail before we turned back. There was about 4" to 5" of snow which definitely proved to be challenging, especially for the stock Xterra that went with, which was ultimately the reason we turned back. Trail 3 is very narrow and brushy which = lots of pinstriping. The wife's a little pissed about this latest round of scratches so in the spring we'll probably run the other loops. It's a fun area to play in if you get out that way.

Once again we left on vacation and forgot the camera, so no pic's. Sorry.

Guess I should have mention that all the trails in Edison are very narrow. This area is fairly new so all the trails are pretty tight. Hopefully next summer it will get thinned out, but I'm just happy to have new trails in the Bend area!

Wish I was here over the holiday would have loved to go out with you guys.
Also there are a few good trails just west of that area behind Mt.Bachelor.

I'm going to be down in your area in March. May I PM you to see if you have time to show me around.

Awe, it's all good. The trail was fun for as far as we went. I don't have a winch yet but one (out of the 3) of the other rigs we were with had one and had it not been for the Xterra we would have pushed a lot further.

The gate was closed on the Cascade Lakes HWY just past the 40 junction (coming over from Eugene) so making it all the way around the backside of Bach wasn't happening without some serious trekking through the forest service roads. Anyway, great area and I look forward to hitting it in the spring. If you and Bernd hit it, let me know. I'd love to join.

Oh. The picture in my avatar is the South East side of Crane Prairie on our FJ's first offroad trip, last Sept (2006).
