Tahuya 2-28-09

Jaydog · Feb 28, 2009

A couple of us hit Tahuya today, it's been more than a decade since I had been out there, heard there was some cool stuff so we headed out. :awesomework:

A friend of mine was out there in a green samurai, did you see him?

Jaydog · Feb 28, 2009

Dave, and I went to Tahuya today, and ran most of the south loop and some of the north loop (I think). There are a ton of trails, but it's really confusing, anyhow it was a good day, fun times, there were some cool obstacles, ran into Joe (Six-nine) in the afternoon.
First trail

Big rocks and a lot of banging

The mud made the rocks slick, so I had to winch a little

Dave hit the rock pile

Everyone has a little Captain Morgan in them

Heading up Yellowjacket

When you're spotting Dave, be ready to run ;D

My turn

Joe came up so fast that we didn't get pics, but got some at the next obstacle

Didn't get any pics of Joe doing a wheel stand at the end, but totally impressive

All in all a good day to wheel, and I think I'll go back and wheel it again in the next ten years

Are his beadlocks green as well? If so, we saw him.

That place had tons of people, I never realized there were that many that hit Tahuya

Ya thats him, those are some great pics. I have not been there in over 10 or 12 years when we used to ride dirt bikes. That place looks like a great wheeling spot.

It has two or three good obstacles, if I lived close I would wheel it often, but IMO not worth the $8 that it cost to cross the bridge.

It was pretty easy, I liked the other one better, but I had to winch a little on it.

Yeh the other one is more of a challenge.Yellow jacket has a few spots you have to use throttle but once you get past them its a drive to the top.

Did you guys attempt Anarchy??

I don't know, we tried to hit everything out there, there was a hill climb that I almost went over backward on, but it was next to the short rock climb. I hope I didn't miss anything. :redneck:

Yeh that was the vertical launch. It used to be harder now its kinda like a ramp. But you missed Anarchy. when your at the bottom of the big rock hill, go left through the dug out section, at the end of the dug outs on the left is Anarchy. skinny trail, snakes it way up to the top. Has a ledge 3/4's of the way up. The ledge is the obstacle.

I didn't even see that, and I went through there twice. I will apologize now, but vertical launch is now stair stepped, my Iroks dug it out pretty good, I would hate to be the next guy to come down it :haha:

Coming down is easy. Going up is fun. This is what it looked like new.

That's when it separated the men from the boys. Just floor it and hold on. :haha:

Looks like the YJ had to pull cable...did he break or something?
Anyone know if someone is gonna build more obstacles on the logging roads that are "Tahuya?" It seems like a waste, having 6.5 miles of dirt road, and .5 mile total of rock gardens and potholes. Needs more.

No, he got sideways, the rocks move around, one lodged under the front diff. and lifted it up and rolled sideways, so he winched to straighten up, he's on 33's
