Wenas

On June 19th 2004, we took a road trip to check out the Wenas since we were looking for more places to use the ORVs.
Cascade Park would be a great area to camp with ORVs. BBQ Flats is a good place to camp with horses. The only thing is there are no campfire allowed during the summer.
Here are a few photos of the Wenas:

On June 13th 2004, we took a road trip to check out Beverly Dunes since we were looking for more places to use the ORVs.
Beverly Dunes is only 2 miles long. There are two entrances and we took photos from both. We can’t wait to come and play in the sand with our ORVs.

All Wheelers Off Road Club
2004 Memorial Day ORV Run

History
My family has been into 4 wheeling and riding dirt bikes for years. I moved away and so we kind of stopped going. In 2004 I bought a XJ and started exploring the Ahtanum. My family in Western Washington got into riding quads and saw what fun we were having in Eastern Washington. They wanted to come over and go on ORV runs in Eastern Washington to ride where it was dry. Our first run back together was the 2004 Memorial Day Weekend. This worked out well so we wanted to get other to join us so we had other people to go with. We came up with the idea of starting a group that was free to join. We called this new group “All Wheelers Off Road Club” since we wanted all types and makes of ORV to join us.
Update: This is where the All Wheelers Off Road Club first started and then shortly after I make the “Eastern Washington Off Road” Forum for all outdoor enthusiast which later became “Eastern Washington Adventures”.
The 2004 Memorial Day ORV Run
We met at the Ahtanum Sno-park the end of May 2004 for Memorial Day weekend. We only had the stock 89 XJ and the others had quads. My brother didn’t think it would work with us in the XJ and them on quads but it did.
I used the neighbor’s car trailer to bring my XJ. He ended up coming to get it while we were there since he needed it for a job. My XJ broke a tranny line and could not drive it home. Lucky I had a friend with a tow truck.
This was great time thanks to all who came.
Here are some photos of our first All Wheelers Off Road Club event:

On the weekend of May 15 – 16 2004 we camped at the Wiley City Rodeo grounds to help out our club (Tampico Saddle Club) put on the annual Wiley City Rodeo. I ran the water truck with Hank’s help. Hank also helped out in the area.
Mandy got to ride a sheep. She did a good job.

For Mother’s Day Lisa wanted to take a drive in the Ahtanum Muti-use Area. So May 9 2004 we packed up the Jeep Cherokee with the family, dogs, and lunch.
We hit a lot of roads and trails in the lower elevations that were snow free. We did not want to get stuck being the only rig up there. We did not see but a few rigs here and there. They were mainly in the parking areas. This was the trip that got me thinking of making an on-line club. Safety in numbers.
Here are some photos of Mother’s Day at the Ahtanum:
