PACIFIC NORTHWEST: The 2014 JK-Experience - Walker Valley [Part 1 of 4]
For 2014, the Off Road Evolution JK-Experience presented by Nitto Tire, would take 22 built up Jeep JK Wranglers, 46 people from around the world and put both man and machine to the test as they worked their way down the beautiful Pacific Northwest. In this first of a four part series, you will get to see our adventures begin at one of the best wheeling spots north of Seattle, the Walker Valley ORV Park. Located just east of the town of Mount Vernon, Walker Valley is a premier off-road destination filled with tight trees, slick mud, nasty roots and big rocks. You will also get to follow us along as we make our way over the breathtaking Cascades, have some fun playing in the sand dunes out at Moses Lakes and all before we end our second day on the JK-Experience at the Suncadia Resort near the town of Cle Elum.
Cindy and I always try our best to share what it's like to attend an event like the JK-Experience from our perspective. To us, it's the great people we get to spend time with, our friends, that really makes it an "experience" of a lifetime and we hope that we were able to capture as much in this film. We hope that you'll enjoy our presentation.
PACIFIC NORTHWEST : The 2014 JK-Experience Funny Rock & Moon Rocks [Part 2 of 4]
Day 3 of the JK-Experience took us up into the Wenatchee National Forest and onto the Naches Basin OHV Trail System. Our destination of the day was two off-road playgrounds up on top of Manastash Ridge and the first of which is an area known as Funny Rocks. Similar to what you'd find out in Moab, the slick rock surface offers a lot of traction and there are some big ledges you can take on. The other playground is known as the Moon Rocks and I can only assume it gets it's name from the craggy terrain that makes it feel as if you really are wheeling on the Moon. It would be here that we would really put our Jeep JK Wranglers to the test and a couple of us would have to leave with a few new battle scars.
We hope that you'll enjoy our presentation and that you'll come back for more.
PACIFIC NORTHWEST : The 2014 JK-Experience - Elbe Hills [Part 3 of 4]
Our 4th day of the JK-Experience would start off with a trek to the west, over the Cascade Range, through the Mt. Rainier National Forest and down to a part of Washington that is famous for its deep ruts and menacing mud trenches – the Elbe Hills ORV Area. Named after a creek that runs through a part of it, the Busy Wild would be our trail for the day and it is without question the toughest of the 8 that make up the area. After finishing up the trail, we headed west to Silver Lake which is just west of the town of Eatonville and setup camp for the night.
We hope that you'll enjoy our presentation and that you'll come back for more.
PACIFIC NORTHWEST : The 2014 JK-Experience - Tillamook [Part 4 of 4]
Our final days of the JK-Experience would start off with a road trip to the south, down into the State of Oregon and to the town of Clackamas where we would get a first hand look at how WARN winches are made and right here in the U.S.A. After our tour, we made our way west, out to the Tillamook State Forest and up into an area known as Browns Camp. In addition to running trails such as Firebreak 5, Airplane Hill, 7up and The Waterfall, we would also get to do a night time rally run before heading out to our final destination along the Oregon Coast, Cape Kiwanda. Additional shots of us playing on the dunes of Sand Lake can also be seen as well.
We hope that you'll enjoy our final presentation of Pacific Northwest: The 2014 Off Road Evolution JK-Experience presented by Nitto Tire.
Because All Good Things Must Come to an End
Thank you for tuning into watch our final presentation of Pacific Northwest, the 2014 Off Road Evolution JK-Experience presented by Nitto Tire. As many of you know, this is the 4th JK-Experience in a row that Cindy and I have had the privilege to attend and without question, it was one of the best. Over the years, it had been our goal to try and capture what it was like for us to be a part of an epic trip like this. We wanted to make our films feel as if you were part of the fun we were having, with our friends and hope that we were able to accomplished as much. Having said all that, I am here to announce that this fourth installment of the JK-Experience will also be our last.
To our good friends Mel and Lisa, we thank you so much for allowing us to be a part of all the amazing JK-Experiences that we've been on with you. They've truly been experiences of a lifetime and ones that we will always remember. To everyone else, you can rest assured that future JK-Experiences will only be better than ever before as Nitto Tire takes over the show and brings in their own professional film crew to take our place. As far as Cindy and I go, you can be sure that we’ll keep on doing what we do and hope that you’ll continue to join us on all our adventures to come.
As always, keep the shiny side up, all four on the floor and with any luck, we’ll see you on the trail.
Your Friends,
Eddie & Cindy
