You cheated by looking for a map :haha: I guess to really make my point I will need to find a pre land swap map to show how the ownership changed in the last land swap up there. Before the swap there was no way to get there without crossing private land. We (pnw4wda) negotiated for two years with the FS and Plum creek to maintain access to the area and forced several changes to happen to guarantee access including complete unblocked ownership from The Manashtash campground to the rocks. We also got legislation passed that allowed a Private company (plum creek) or a Org. (pnw4wda) to apply for nova funds to maintain trails on private lands that were FS or DNR lands prior to a swap. This is why we still have access (all of us) from the Naches and CleElum side to the rocks.
This thread is a perfect example of what's wrong with this community. It was started with good intentions, passing along relevant information, and instead of focusing on the issues that WILL get land shut down for everybody, half the posters are sniveling about Jeeps vs buggies vs wheelers vs PNW vs WOW.
Honestly, who the fawk cares?
It's time to realize all that **** is meaningless to anybody outside this forum?? Trails getting shut down will be unilateral, regardless of what you drive or what your club affiliation is.
Isn't it time to focus on what really matters here?![]()
theres more than 1 group whispering in their ear....I am just concerned that the folks who have the respect & ear of the FS/DNR are not representing ALL wheelers.
We are over here in the All Wheelers Off Road Club. We work with both the DNR and Forest Service for all ORV trails. I guess we kind of skip the middle men so we can get crap done.I am just concerned that the folks who have the respect & ear of the FS/DNR are not representing ALL wheelers.

trails are already being/have been shut down. the powers that be are ensuring that. its a just a matter of WHICH trails are next. like i said, it WILL happen.So a tire size limit and or width restrictions are your idea of "shut down PERIOD"?
There's no "PERIOD" in any of this at this point in time.

where the hell did I say ANYTHING about tire size or width restrcition? wtf are u talking about?
Who care's who did it in what vehicle, what it boils down to is some ****head(s) did damage now it needs to be fixed and the perps need to be punished plain and simple. All you guys bitching at each other isn't going to fix the meadow now is it?
So when are we going up there to solve the damage issue? I'm available on weekends pretty much any time after the 4th.

ok...Go back and read what I wrote and what I quoted.
Well put Larry! This SHOULD be everyone's mantra!An ORV is a ORV whether it has 4 wheels 2 wheels etc. Everybody should work together towards the same goal. Common use open trail systems.
Thanks.And one of the 'Most Active". Keep up the good work!!!

Maybe it is a horsepower thing.
Maybe it is a driving style thing.
Maybe it is a responsibility thing.
Beats me, but I guarantee that w/ my Runner on 39.5's I did 10x less "damage" than 99% of the wheelers up Manastash on Memorial Day.
No horsepower, turtle speed, lots of traction, and staying on the trail is my friend.... :redneck:
WORD! It was funny to watch people gather around hill climbs and the big mud holes when they'd see my truck coming down the trails at Rimrock on memorial weekend... They sure thought I'd put on a show with my 44's but they all got dissapointed badly.![]()
My buddies on 35-39" tires did far more damage because they HAD to spin the tires through most everything while we nearly idled.. Not that flooring it would have done a lot though, 4 cylinders of fury don't do a much spinning. :haha:
