I just moved here (Pasco) from SE Idaho. I've been looking for some fun trails and one of my co-workers recommended coming to this forum.

The DD is a Tacoma.

And the toy is an '89 YJ.

Any recommendations for some fun places to play around?

Get a flag and head to juniper sand dunes.

Go out the Pasco-Kahlotus Highway and turn left at the giant yellow mail box. Drive forever and you will find the dunes. Google map Pasco kahlotus road and peterson rd and you will find it

Notice the order they are in. The Toyota is what gets him to work in order to afford the parts to keep the yjunk going. :lip:

Thanks. I looked through some of the pictures in the juniper dunes section; looks pretty fun.

I'm not going to lie, the Jeep is junk. But it's the funnest piece of junk I've ever driven.

The most fun you'll ever have wheeling is in something you have absolutely zero care about in the world. I had a 94 rodeo that I beat unmercifully, I loved that thing. I need to get another one. :D

Does anyone know where I can buy one of those flags? I'm planning on going out there Saturday.

I bought a cheap bike flag for mine at Wally World. But, last time I checked for a last minute flag for a friend, they didn't have any. :(

Ended up finding a ATV flag at Ranch and Home.


Oh, and welcome! 8)

I've gotten my flags at JMC motorsports at the base of the cable bridge in Pasco. They are open Saturday and are on my way to the dunes. Basic flag with mounting stuff is like $9 or a bare flag for a quick mount was $5

I moved here in 2001. I still have all my family and friends in Rigby, Ucon, Idaho Falls and surrounding areas. I,am sure we know some of the same people.

Possibly. My wife grew up in Ucon.

Flags can also be bought at either Ranch & Home.... I found that out my last trip out to Juniper when I forgot my flag... Welcome!

I went out to Juniper dunes today. It was a lot of fun. Thanks for the recommendation guys.

I had a friend come with me and told me that he already had a flag that I could use. Next time I'll go get my own. A flag that is the same color as the sky probably didn't help too much. Oh well.

We probably should have aired down, but didn't this time. As long as I kept my momentum up and didn't try going up anything too crazy I was OK.

Sorry, no action shots.
