Eastern Washington Adventures
Short & Dirty 4×4 Trail
By Clay & Charlie Graham / CegPics.com
Around 10 AM Saturday August 11th, 2012 Eastern Washington Adventures members met up at the Ahtanum Winter Recreation Trailhead for the Short & Dirty 4×4 Trail Run.
We headed up the Ahtanum Middle Fork Road and stopped for the view on Darland Mountain.
Next we headed down and turned onto the Blue Lake Trail, past Blue Lake and up 4W615 to Blue Slide Lookout for a break.
We ran FS1020 and turned down the Short & Dirty 4×4 Trail (4W637).
The Short & Dirty 4×4 Trail was very fun and scary at the same time. The off camber was extreme. When you thought you were at the most off camber you could be at, there was a bump or rock on the high side or hole on the lower side. The rear tire of my CJ5 came off the ground a few time. It happen to other rigs too. The last section of the Short & Dirty 4×4 Trail was very steep down hill and very off camber. That section seemed to run forever. This has to be the first trail that I have said that I was glad to be at the end of.
This was a very fun day thanks to those who came.
Here are some pictures of the day:
