We were looking to put some miles on the new 3.8L JKU engine we installed in our farm shop so we could do the first oil change before we do the WABDR 1-3. It was very hot so we decided to head to the mountains.

Around 2 PM Monday, June 28th 2021, Doc, Shelby, and I took the JKU up to Mount Rainier National Park and back. We took Chinook Pass up, took Cayuse Pass to US12, and took White Pass back home.

Here are some photos of the Mount Rainier Road Trip:

On Sunday, June 20th 2021, Steve show up with his CJ3B. The group headed out from camp at the Naneum Ridge State Forest to go run the trails in the Colockum Wildlife Area after breakfast from the Graham Family Farm NW Chuckwagon.

We drove up Coleman Road, east onto Swift Creek Road, east on Naneum Ridge Road and stopped for a break close to Colockum Road.

After the break we took Colockum Road north, West on North Fork Road, South on Tarpiscan Road, east on Brewton Road, continuing east on Tekison Creek Road to the locked gate that lets you into West Bar. We had one stop along the way so the dogs could get a drink of cold water. Lucky we did since they did not get to go into the Columbia River as planned. From Colockum Road it took two hours driving on rocks to find the road to West Bar had a locked gate during the open season. Others have gone around the locked gate, but I am not the one to drive in closed areas even when they are supposed to be open.

We headed back a different way to see different things. We headed up Little Brushy Road. That road had some powder dirt on it but it beat those rocks. Not to far to up Little Brushy Road, Steve’s CJ3B stopped running. One of the wires had melted. After a couple of hours working on it, we decided it was time to tow it back to camp. Charlie towed the CJ3B about 24 miles up and down hills back to camp with his ZJ. We saw a lot of deer and a few elk on the way.

We winched the CJ3B onto my trailer to get it back home. Heading home we had to stop in Kittitas and fuel up 4 rigs. It was a late night the time we got home in Selah.

On Thursday, June 19th 2021, we headed up to the Naneum Ridge State Forest to set up for the weekend. Friday two more people showed up.

Saturday we had a good breakfast for the Graham Family Farm NW Chuckwagon. At 10 AM we headed out to do the Naneum State Forest backroads trip. We took Dawson Canyon up, headed west on Boulder Road, over the Naneum Creek, around the High Creek Loop, back over the Naneum Creek, up Naneum Creek to Naneum Basin for a break. Shelby our Black Lab enjoyed playing in the creek.

Next we down Naneum Creek, turned up Swift Creek Road, turn up toward Wenatchee Mountain, and ran Naneum Ridge northwest until the snow drifts stopped us. We may have been able to go father over the snow, but we did not want to press our luck. We turn around and stopped at a view point for a break.

After the break we back tracked to Swift Creek Road, headed east on Swift Creek Road, turned down Coleman Creek Road and stopped from lunch at the creek.

Next we headed on down Coleman Road, turned up East Fork Road and run it to End Of Green Dot. We turned around and headed down, turned on Rue Road, turned on Tyee Road, down Cooke Canyon Road, up Coleman Road, and up Dawson Canyon to camp.

Back at camp we had a great meal from the Graham Family Farm NW Chuckwagon.
