Default First trail ride for the H2. Pic heavy!

Well, yesterday we went out on our first trail run in the H2. We went to Walker Valley which is an OHV area in Skagit County Washington. We had never been there, and I had no idea what kind of trails there were. There are trails for 4x4s, quads, and bikes. I wasn't sure if there would be any trails the H2 would fit on, as I had read some reports online that it was strictly short-wheel-base-lifted-rig trails. Of course, that was on a Jeep forum.

First of all, we had only the afternoon, so we did not see but a fraction of the area. But, we did find a trail that was fun. It was not extreme, but it was tight, and there were rocks and stumps to negotiate. I did have to engage the locker a couple times due to articulation raising a wheel or two off the ground. But nothing extreme. Still fun though, and I was very impressed with the truck. It is surprisingly agile for such a big truck. Here are a few pictures of the day.

This is the entrance to the trail head. Due to the angle of the rocks I had to back in around the rock at the LR of the truck, then go forward through the obstacle.








Just for fun, here is a clip of a Jeep going out in the same spot. Not sure his spotters were really helping him! Not the best line he could have taken!

Here are a few more from along the trail. My 11 year old made himself my spotter, and actually did a very fine job of it. My 9 year old took the photos. He is learning how to compose the picture. Before long I think he'll be getting some pretty good shots.

As always, pictures don't really show how steep or angled things are. This trail was a fairly steep climb winding through a clear cut.





Looks like a toy, huh?



This is at the top.



Just for fun.

I know! I had cleaned it really well a few days before for going to a wedding. I need to get rid of those chrome wheels, too! And find some black tail light guards to swap for.

That looks really fun, surprised you went wheeling by yourself with no other trucks but hey... your kids seem like they like it so much that if you got stuck and had to spend the night waiting for help they would be like "cooool Dad!, you're like the awesomest"

Fun times!, and get rid of that chrome!

Enjoyed your pictures. I f you go on a trail by yourself, just make sure your cell phone will work! I've found onstar will work in some places cell phones won't, but the buddy system is always best on a trail. Did I ever tell you about the time I bent a Pitman Arm on my H2 by myself on a dirt trail 3 miles off the main road............................luckily I had lots of water and beer in the cooler.

Well, I am still looking for some people to go with. None of my friends wheel, but I have a couple I am trying to get started.

As for being alone, I was real careful. I did not try anything that really had any chance of getting stuck or breaking things.

And yes, I am working on losing the chrome. So far I have swapped out the chrome hood handles and latches for black ones and painted the roof rack rails with black bedliner. I just picked up a set of stock whels which I am going to have sandblasted and then I am going to coat them with black bedliner. I think that should make sort a tough look.

Well Walker Valley is pretty far up north for me, I go out occasionally with a couple Rubicons but we head out towards Greenwater. If your ever interested. I told one of them about you going to Walker Valley and he was a bit surprised as the trails are tight. Sure would be nice to find some more open places. I've played around down south in Capital Forrest, I hear Rockcandy there can be fun.

Well, I may very well have run the only trail there an H2 will fit on. We were only there for the afternoon, and that is the only one we took. I will say, after going around the gate, the trail takes off to the left. At that point it was so narrow and overgrown I would never try it with the H2. Not because it would have trouble, but the brush was so thick and made it so narrow that my paint would be ruined. I picked it up where it crossed the service road and headed into a clearcut. So, it was tight in spots, but didn't have all the brush.

Since you are down that way, have you ever gone to Evans Creek? I have been wanting to check that one out.

Let me know when you go out again, and I'll see if I can join. I'm not sure where around Greenwater you go, but on the map it looks like it is about 2 hours or so for me.
