DNR announces Reiter area trail closures

In an annoucement made on June 16th the Washington State DNR has announced trail closures in the Reiter area including the closure of the Lake Isabel and Index Wall Overlook trails.  The DNR with the help of many ORV and off-road groups are working to make Reiter a sanctioned ORV area much like Walker Valley.   A map of the closed areas can be obtained from the DNR HERE

Naches Trail information update:

Due to recent changes to the Naches Trail on the eastern end we have updated the trail page and the map for the eastern side of the Naches trail.  If you downloaded a version of the eastern Naches Map before 4/27/09 then please stop by the Naches trail page and download the newest version.

Geocaching

Look for and click on the Geocaching symbol on the trails list for caches that are associated with that trail.  Some are our own and some have been placed by others.

We have just placed 2 new caches in Liberty on the Pit Overlook and Lion Gulch trails.

Clover Springs trail lower section map now available

Map and GPS data is now available for the lower section of the Clover Springs trail.  This is one of 3 trails located in the Nile Creek area southwest of Wistlin' Jacks.  The lower section is rated at Most difficult and not for the novice driver. Find the full details here

Announcements:

Join ORV Trail Watch and help save our trails.

A growing number of off-roaders are tired of the damage being done by a small number of ignorant wheelers that are destroying our public lands and our credibility. BE WARNED, if you are one who thinks mud bogging our trails, cutting trees down to get your rig down a tight trail or vandalizing public facilities is fun then a member of ORV Trail Watch may just be watching and taking your picture to turn over to the authorities.

If you are a responsible off-roader and are tired of seeing this kind of damage then join ORV Trail Watch and commit to helping solve the problem by turning in violators.

Abuse it and loose it!

We have been very vocal here at NWJeepn about being responsible when off-roading because there are many that want to put an end to the past time we love.  Now ATVrs in the Liberty Washington area are learning 1st hand what this means.  Click here to read the full story recently posted in the Tacoma News Tribune.

New OBA write-up coming soon!

We are currently doing an OBA setup on a '99 Wrangler TJ and finding it to be a bit different than the 97-98 TJs.  Also due to changes in technology and parts available for air systems we will be making over our much celebrated OBA writeup to include the newest information we have.  Check in here as we should have the new write up on line within the next month.
