You definitely should get out and run this. Once you reach the elevation, there are many side roads you can take to explore. The JK model is incredibly fun to drive. I miss driving it! The good news is that it will be back on the channel in 2025, as we are starting a rebuild on it.
Pretty cool. I did this run last week and camped down by the river. Drone makes it where you can spot sketchy areas. I came from the opposite direction, so it was sketchy at best!
@@BluebirdOverland They were. I camped at the big site you passed at bout 18:50. One of those wide pullouts right at the top would have been perfect, but they aren't hammock friendly.
@@davepalmer1739 that's funny I thought about staying at that spot after I had passed it. Yeah, not much up there is hammock-friendly until you get down in lower elevations. Even this it was pretty sparse.
That's how it is in the Olympic NF and surrounding logging territory. The maps are inaccurate. The maps are wrong. Some things are gated and not shown on maps. Some things are shown as gated and they are not. Not surprising that your road ran into a river with a cliff. Some of these roads haven't been maintained since prior to The Nixon administration. One thing we ask carry here is a chain saw. With 100 trillion trillion trees, it's not uncommon for one to fall across the road. Especially in the winter, fall or spring when the winds kick up. You never go on these Forest service roads without a chainsaw. You can run up the road and then a tree falls across it and you can't get out. But of course there 's very little in the way of solution in case a big boulder falls across the road. Just hope your tow strap and your truck can pull it out of the way.
Yeah I bought an electric chainsaw to begin on my next adventures. The whole peninsula is absolutely stunning beautiful there were so many areas that I wanted to explore. Some of the roads were tight and we’re beginning to look overgrown which goes in line with what you’ve said.
Man our jeeps our identical lol. I want to go run this loop sometime soon

@@BluebirdOverland Absolutely will

If I do it again I’d totally do it the other direction but it’s always fun to not see your passanger side and risk it sometimes.
Ya, just floor it you can make that jump, that is a small creek lol. another great video bor!
lol, better yet, I could of used some back to the future DeLorean powers at that time. Thanks so much.
Loved it! Great nature scenes as well
Thank you. Appreciate the feedback. I like to add a good mix to the videos.
Makes me miss Washington state. I lived there for few years in 1997
Maybe Washington is calling you for a family vacation in the near future.
That's a fun drive. I did it last year in the other direction. Camped right near the top.
That’s awesome. It was a great trail. I’d like to do it again sometime in the other direction. Were the rock slides present when you did it last year?

Love this!
Thanks so much, very thrilled you enjoyed it.
Is that the Jeep I worked on in Wichita Kansas😁
Sure is. Was so good meeting you and so grateful for your help.

Meet up with any .?
Logging Trucks?
Nope I didn’t find any logging trucks through out Washington, but did have one night hearing active work being done in Oregon.
