Sunday would be the 27th.

I might be able to make it, but will not frolic.

There is no cell service at the staging area.

We seemed to be getting a LOT of cell reception on the loop on the 12th. Methinks (at least some) cell coverage has improved.

So I think my dad is gunna tag along in his stock 09 FJ. So +1. Will he be alright at Tahuya without lift/tires? I have never been but I have heard that it is pretty tame for the most part.

I have a stock 11. I have been out there a few times, and there are some trails that I thought were fine. There were some others that I would not try to attempt.

Stockers will do just fine on the loop and most of the spurs. Tahuya is a terrific place to get some sympathy for one's vehicle with less risk of real damage -- or additional practice for folk with more experience. It's a very good opportunity to (re-)learn the dimensions of the truck, work on good line picking, tire placement and other items (e.g., left-foot braking). There are some tight (ish) sots, so stock running boards beware!

A few weeks back, the little hill climb on the west side of the South Loop was a bit more "cut" on one side (passenger side traveling uphill) making straddling the "v" a bit more difficult with the stock FJC stance without airing down.

There are some rock gardens, as well as Yellow Jacket if there's an interest. Please no one drown a truck in Mud Lake.

Is there another chance a run here will happen again? I haven't got the Fj off-road in a while.

But of course! You might want to start gauging interest in a separate thread.
