I've been wheeln for almost 10 years. Since I started, almost all wheeln areas that were not official ORV areas have since been closed. Most have been named above. Reiter has been the fun park for a long time.(This goes for a lot of people)I believe it was the last of it's kind. Good thing I left my mark, on a lot of trees. :redneck: On the other hand, I will now get to wheel some places I never have.

i give up, im selling my wheeler and going fast again. meanwhile building a new wheeler on the side so someday i can play again.:corn: anyone want to buy a toyota? toyota here, got yur-toyota...*said in salemans voice* :redneck::awesomework:

Black Diamond/Ravensdale areas
A small sand pit down on Coal Creek - was one of the first places my dad took me to learn to ride a dirt bike. Was an odd area, a big sand bowl. Anyone know the area? It was gated at the time but it was constantly used even with the gate.

empty commercial building lot near IKEA in Kent. Jereme (sly-yota) will remember this one. Got stuck in the mud pit at lunch, made it back just in time to catch the end of 6th period. Got hand-cuffed another time for violating the no tresspassing, but there werent any signs up so they released me and my buddy Andrew. Now its fenced in.

I remember behind Ikea K-9 came in after us one night. There where other spots down in the valley. also across from Lewis, and Clark theater. Also behind K-mart in West Seattle. Ravensdale was always fun... Aso Rife lake, some pit near Renton/Maple Valley, and some cool airport seized land.

I remember box-car canyon in Eatonville, the beaver ponds in Puyallup, and a little place behind the old Puyallup Fred Meyer...all places where the parties were at 10 years ago, but now gone due to development. :booo:

Anyone ever ride dirtbikes down by Munson's in Redmond?? Right where QFC and Bella botega are now.

PUO-BANNED · Nov 11, 2009

The Powerline trail in little naches. and Cultus Hole in the Ahtanum. I always looked at the west side as having some serious hardcore wheeling (reiter) but it has been used and abused because of the population density. we on the east side need to take note of whats going on on the other side of the mountains and try to prevent it from happening here. I am a short drive from wheeling and I bet I could get away with driving the truggy as long as it is under the cover of darkness :fawkdancesmiley:

I didn't know Powerline got closed. It was always getting temporarily shut down when I was younger but always opened back up after they got some rock to cover the powerline. I had my senior pictures taken on that trail. You wouldn't catch me on it today, too much mud!

Box-Car's gone? I spent half the summer up there this year.

I only quit going up there this year because of the rumors swelling about rigs getting towed for being parked on the street around the entrances and the ever increasing number of dickheads that weren't from anywhere close to here that liked to try to start fights and trash the place (which is why they've tried to close it in the past).

The two main entrances are gated. You can still walk in.

get a front driveshaft and you dont have to park at the street.
