Wheeling trip to Washita Off-Road in Farmington.

[YJ_Aaron]

There is a group of us planning a trip to Washita for the weekend of Oct 22-24.  They have on site camping with electric or primative with showers and real bathrooms (so their site says). 

This isn't a club run, and as usual whoever shows up is more than welcome.  It will be as it always is break up into groups of whatever difficulty and head out.  The game plan is to leave around noon on Friday to drive up (approx 4hr towing) and setup camp.  Wheel Saturday, camp, drive home Sunday (not sure on wheeling Sun). 

The terrain at the park is mixed.  There is a great deal of exposed red granite that makes fora  lot of fun trails.  There are tons and tons of stocker level trails all the way up to extreme trails.  I've been on these trails before, so has Dave.

If you have any questions post up or call me.

will do, the other jeepers here have never been to Washita so it's a road trip now.

[YJ_Aaron]

We'll be camping both nights so bring some rum when you drop by!

I am planning on going. Are there any jeeps going that I will be able to run with?

I'm not sure on what's coming out of the Fort.  Also Midwest will have a big group there so I have no doubt there will be some.  The trails I want to run you can probably run you'll just have to try a bit harder than most.  The terrain there is great, the trails I like the most are just spotter alleys.  Lots of rocks filling washes and creeks. 

I'm sure we'll be on medium trails most of the time, since there aren't very many hards and the 2 I've seen will be end of the day ONLY. 

The climb up to the knob is a little long and you will have no issue with unless it's changed and I plan to try and do that for the view around lunch.

Sounds good. Bring on the rocks!

Hi all! I'm the secretary for Midwest, and am the one organizing our trip down there. Looks like we have about 19 jeeps signed up so far on our site. I am working with Don at Washita to get him to hook us up with a $5 chili dinner Saturday night. I need a head count of anyone interested in chili by Sunday, 10/17. I will be calling Don on Monday with a count. If you would like to be included in the count, please sign up on the MWJT forum:
