All Wheelers Off Road Club -
Spring Fever Run at the Wenas Wildlife Area
March 20th, 2010


On Saturday March 20th, 2010 we meet up at the Sheep Company Road entrance of the Wenas Wildlife Area AKA L.T. Murray around 10 AM.
Image

Airing down.
Image

Image

We took Durr Road, then Bull Pasture Road and up Bell Tel. Road
Image

We had a big herd of elk run in front of us. I have some video of them.

Just up from them we saw a coyote run across the road going the opposite way.

At the top we turned onto he Umtanum Ridge Road and stopped at the Oasis for a break.
Image

Image

Moving up the Umtanum Ridge Road it got real muddy for a short distance until we hit the snow.

Looking back as we turning off down Black Canyon.
Image

Image

Image

Image

Black Canyon had some slick spots in the trees.

Here's looking at Mt. Rainier.
Image

Image

This area was slick and had a good drop in the road from the water melting the ice.
Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

At the Y we turned to run back on top of Umtanum Ridge.
Image

Image

Back up on top of Umtanum Ridge.
Image

Image

Image

Dropping down we saw some deer and then a big herd of elk.
Image

We stopped for another break before leaving the trees.
Image

Image

Image

At North Wenas Road we stopped to see what everyone wanted to do.
Most were for driving down the road and going back up on top from near Wenas Lake.
Don decided to run the Ellensburg Pass to see a water fall.

Talking to Jerry.
Image

Heading back up toward Umtanum Ridge.
Image

Image

Image

Scuba called us to hold up because he had a problem with his XJ.
We pulled over to wait.
Image

Image

My boys bugging Guido.
Image

Looking back at Scuba.
Image

Scuba called us on the CB and said his rig was down. His steering box came off the frame and he could not fix it there.

We headed back down.
Image

We stopped to give Scuba's crew a ride. Guido had room so they rode with him.
Image

At the pavement we aired up to go for Scuba's tow rig.
Image

Back in Selah at my place where Scuba's tow rig was, I jumped in my Suburban to go get gas and
Jerry lead Scuba with his tow rig back to where the XJ was broke down.

By the time I got up there after getting fuel in the Suburban, Scuba was on he way down.
Image

Image

Image

Image

The trailer was sliding toward the ditch along this part of the road.
Image

Image

Down at the pavement Scuba re-tighten down the XJ and we headed out.
Image

Jerry headed straight for town since he was low on fuel.
Scuba's Tow Rig somehow lost all of the dash light and gauges. He was stuck in 4 Low.
Scuba drove to my place in Selah and had his wife come pick him up.
Sunday Scuba came to pick up the trailer with another truck. I pasted him on the road.
I am not sure where his Tow rig went since I was not at home when he came by. Good luck Scuba!

This was a fun run for most of us.
