Pismo - first ride out. Knew about the blind drop offs, saw it, but not in time. 15 foot drop in elevation later, I open my eyes to me not being able to move my head, and a splitting headache. couldn't move me head cause the rear handle was resting on it. suprisingly I only got the headache and a scratch on my hand.

Your local trail Truess.

TITLE: Bradley Hills ORV Area

NOTES: West of Vancouver and northeast of Cathlamet in Wahkiakum County, the Bradley Hills ORV Area has 8 miles of ATV trails.

To reach the trailhead from Longview, head west on SR4 for about 29 miles. Just past Cathlamet, turn right on Elochoman Valley Road and start your odometer here. At 3.8 miles, turn right on Beaver Creek Road. At 8.4 miles, turn left on Road B-1000. At 10.3 miles, reach Bradley Bike Trail and Recreation Area on the right. From the sign, take the next two quick right turns to get into the parking area.

From the parking area, trails exit in every direction, so be careful to get on the correct one. Ride to the five-way intersection at the entrance of the parking area and turn right. Almost immediately, find a trail on the left and take it. The wide, muddy, root-strewn trail winds through a thick forest. At 1.3 miles, cross a road and catch the trail on the opposite side. The trail continues the muddy, sometimes technical roller coaster through the woods. Reach a fork at 3.8 miles and turn right, following the trail signs. At 4.2 miles, ignore a trail back on the left.

After a short push up a very steep hill, continue following the trail signs. The trail soon widens to become a narrow road, B-1000. Stay on the main road. At 6.4 miles, steer around several cement barriers and continue down the road. The road crosses the trail, 6.5 miles, but keep riding south on B-1000. At 7.2 miles, reach the junction of B-1000 and M-2000. Turn left and ride back to the parking area to complete the loop, 7.3 miles.

ya, i just need to fix my clutchlater today. then i'll be back to riding.

I'm from WA originally, Chehalis/Winlock. maybe we can get a ride set up when I come home for a visit between about the 20th of Jan, and the 12th of Feb. Hopefully there's not much snow left in a few of the areas. sport quads don't to too well in fresh powder. lol

or u can just get a snowmobile. lol

How do you keep yourself inline ,feller knuclehead???????

that's y he married drtygirl. haha:laugh:

bot, if you guys do get that one together, let me know, i'll see if the navy can let me go.

ya. I agree with that. lol unless it's a sport ute.

ummmm....I know I wouldn't last too long. lol

Where are your plans? shall we try to get a ride together?

Right now I have no plans, but I know of a friend who is going to Dove Springs, Cali. I may go there if I get my clutch fixed by then.

VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE

4 ME! I'm getting a toy hauler! Please!

I'm not sure y, but you didn't put in my 'official submission' pic as was posted in my second post on the previous thread.

sounds like a plan. I just don't know what the snow conditions in the siskews will be like in Feb, cause I do have chains for my car, but I havent been in snow with this one, and I don't know how it'll act with a trailer on it....that's if I don't get the RV I'm trying to get.

wow, just saw it on the map, and folsom is a long way....but if i'm ever up in Norcal, I'll let you know. I ill hopefully be up there in february driving through to SW WA.

HUH!?...I didn't think they had cameras when you were a kid! Or is that a sketching?

That pic was taken back when you had to hold still for 60 seconds to take the pic.

Good job showing that you guys were lost. haha That must be why u don't ride dirt anymore.

Loaded up and heading to Waynoka dunes. Pulled by 03 Duramax. Yellow banshee on passanger side is mine. Notice both banshees are where they usually are, in front!!!

right up till they break down half way through the ride.

Ok...make it 8:
