Wow, I was there the day before! Turned around at the more serious creek section. I just barely cleared the downed tree with my RTT after the first crossing.
Hey John just a suggestion with your drone you spend most of the time just looking at the jeep with a small area of the wilderness as you are traveling. The trails you are traveling are in really gorgeous country.
Nice! I used to do this kind of thing in my truck when it was running. I've been up and down FSR 70 a lot and have camped there many times. Thanks for the video
We are planning a group motorcycle ride (Honda CT-90 & 110's) piloted by old guys this coming summer, except we plan to go the opposite direction, (west to east) is it possible to make this trip bypassing the deep rutted areas of the Naches trail on the west side? We would need a place to launch from with camping/rv area and would plan to do an over and back day ride. If you have any gps track data or recommendations I would appreciate it! P.S. great job on the video! & we can always use a vehicle escort if you would consider making the trip with us.
Yep on motorcycles this whole trip would be a breeze. You could even skip the water crossings as a bike could make the washout. At least the year I went. The other option would be to not hit Greenwater and do the entire stampede pass. Just an option. There is plenty of camping up FS-70 and the surrounding area. I saved the track in onx, and might be up for a day trip :) I'm about an hour from FS-70. I'm doing a bunch of work to the jeep at the moment. Hopefully to finish late spring.
Thanks! sorry for the late reply, but you want to take cabin creek road to NF-41 (cabin creek trail) at NF-140 make sure you stay on NF-41 it will look like a smaller road going off into the trees :) From there you just have to navigate through the water to find the trail on the other side. It was a bit of trial and error for me.
@Jrg0413 if you look up Northwest Explorers on RUclips , they have a 1.5 hr video of the complete trail, uncut from beginning to end. Every turn and forest road number. Super helpful for anyone that has never done the trail. It is a little tricky making all the right turns. They even mad a few wrong turns and had to backtrack. They were going west to east , opposite of this video. On their RUclips page, they have two versions. The short video and long video. You’ll want to watch the long version. Hope it helps. Have fun!!!
Love Cabin creek area. Did same trail but reverse in Sept. how do u like the skydio drone with the beacon? I watched ur rimrock & van Epps vids n wondered how u drove & flew drone at same time. I mostly go out solo & the autonomous tracking looks amazing
The Skidio is great. I was a bit skeptical at first but the more I use it the more I'm starting to trust it. The beacon is almost necessary for the trees :) I still want to do more testing in very tight trees, but I'm waiting till I fix the Jeep. Broken ball joint and FAD after Rimrock haha...

Thanks for this video. I just mapped this route with GAIA GPS and can’t wait to explore this area more later this year.
1st time to your channel- love the 2 door Jeep and loved the angles of your drone footage to show it off and killer beard. cheers
Thank you 😃 I just gave up on shaving I think.
Great video, John. Beautiful country. You did a great job with the drone. Keep it up. Felt like I was taking that ride in the jeep right with ya!
Glad you enjoyed it

Yeah some low hanging obstacles for sure. I took it super slow and listened for grinding even without a RTT :)

Thanks Mike, and yep I agree. I need to start getting more context shots for sure :)
Sweet video. I really enjoyed this. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks for watching! Still many more trails for me to explore out that way :)
If my truck was running I'd love to go exploring up there more.
I / we enjoy off roading but I don’t take my truck where it’ll get pinstriped by plants.
It's like nails down a chalkboard right :) I don't know why I can't help myself but to punish the jeep haha.
Thanks for sharing, some good shots of our area
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching
Great video, that little drone is amazing!
Thanks, yes it's turning out to be amazing.
Nice jeep 👍
Thanks!

It would be nice to see this route on a map.
I’ll try to post the .gpx track somewhere.
Nice video I am trying to do this route soon do you mind messaging me the road on the Easton side?

@@johnsjeepandoutdoor saw that video bout fad/ball joint. I’ll keep watching
Have you ever taken people through here I've been thinking about going in my runner
I have not, but not against the idea. No idea how deep that creek gets in the winter/spring though.
Do you think a forester can do this in the summer time?
My guess is you would be fine. I tried my best to make it look more difficult than it really was :)
