Eastern Washington Off Road Kittitas County Meet & Greet
Report by Clay Graham

On Saturday April 30th, 2011 we meet up at 4WheelingPlus.com in Kittitas Washington for the Eastern Washington Off Road Kittitas County Meet & Greet. There was a big turnout. Some people came from far away. Everett and Walla Walla are two places I know of.

4WheelingPlus.com is the oldest Off-road store in Kittitas County. This was the kickoff for the new shop. For this event 4WheelingPlus.com had a lot of give-a-ways, food and door prizes.

This was a great family event. Here are some pictures of the day.

Thank you everyone for coming out to the Meet & Greet at Ron’s 4WheelingPlus.com shop! Thank you Ron for hosting the event and for all you did to make it fun. It was a great time. We hope you all can make the next Eastern Washington Off Road Meet & Greet.

Thursday Night Get Together in Ellensburg
Report by Clay Graham

On April 28th, 2011 we carpooled from Selah, through Kittitas to the Iron Horse Brewery in Ellensburg for the Eastern Washington Off Road Thursday Night Get Together.

For dinner we drove a few blocks over to Morelli’s Cafe Italiano.

Morelli’s Cafe Italiano had a table reserved for us.

The best food in Ellensburg!

This was a great time thanks to who came and the great service at the Iron Horse Brewery and at Morelli’s Cafe Italiano.

On Tuesday April 26th, 2011 we met up at McDonald’s in Ellensburg Washington for a Durr Road backroads run at the Wenas Wildlife Area. Durr road was built in the 1880s as a short cut for wagons to travel from Ellensburg to Selah since the Wenas pass was much longer. It took us four hours to complete the run to the end at Sheep Company Road North of Selah. We stopped a few times for views and ran the East end of the Umtanum Ridge and back to over look the Yakima River Canyon.

Here are some pictures of our day:

It was getting late so we drove back to Durr Road and took it down to Sheep Company Road where we aired up.

This was a fun trip thanks to who came.
