1st lesson learned: Don't go off-roading over an hour from home with your Jeep nekked, when Thunderstorms are predicted(although they are very rare here in the NW).
So in typical Walker Valley fashion, ALL the gates were closed today. Could not even get to the rock pit, or Upper Mainline.
We ended up going around the EZ Connector gate (we filled in the area's between some of the large rocks to do so, sorry if that offends someone)

Entrance to the EZ Connector.

Some more of the EZ Connector Trail

My son taking over when we got to Mainline.

Entering "Humps and Bumps" from BR-46 (the West end)

Some more Humps & Bumps

Large rock on the downhill near the east end of Humps & Bumps

The lift came in handy today.

Still hit the Transfer case skid plate(although in this picture, I still had inches of clearance).

I'd say if you wanted more of a challenge you would want to start this run from the East end, but that anyone down to stock, with rock rails, could make it through from West to East.

Here is some scenery from around the area.





This appeared to be the exit from Ridge Run.

This looked like a mud pit and hill climb in the area of Ridge Run. We put a stick in it and it was deep. We did not venture here.

Coming back, just as we entered Everett, the heavens opened up, we dove for the first overpass and waited out the downpour. I just realized I caught a Jeep in my picture. The timing was just so that we never felt a drop of rain!! No drying out the Jeep tonight.

 

Great photos!


I got a good share of rain on Saturday on I-5. Had my top down and suddenly got under a cloud and when I moved right to stop and pull the top up I was already wet enough so just kept moving.

 

You would not have made it up without winching there is a bypass to the right of that entrance down the gravel rd bout 50ft

The trail is a bit better going form the other way its a nice climb, was all mudd last year the rocks are nice!
