All Wheelers Off Road Club
- Halloween Run

October 24th, 2009

On October 24th, 2009 the All Wheelers Off Road Club had the annual Halloween Run and Costume Party.
Here are some pictures of the run.

This year the run was at the Wenas Wildlife Area just north of Selah Washington.

This is the crew in the lead vehicle minus the co-pilot Ron Dunn AKA "4wheelingplus.com".

We met up at the Sheep Company Road entrance of the Wenas Wildlife Area.

We headed up Durr Road.
We saw many hunters a long the road. They looked at me as I was a freak. Could it be my Halloween hair? LOL

At Umtanum Creek we stopped for a break.

After a short break we headed on. At the end of Durr Road we turned up the Ellensburg Pass.
A few miles down the gravel road we turned off onto Hanson Pond Road.

We ran Mud Flats Road and headed down to the North Fork Wenas Road.
Not far down the pavement we turn up Ridge Road.

We stopped for a snake to cross the road.

At Durr Road we turned south and headed back to the Sheep Company road entrance.
Once we got back down, some left for home and the others headed to Selah for the Costume Party.

This easy site seeing run was a lot of fun thanks to all who came. The party was also a good time.

I can't wait to go back when the snow comes.
 
hmmmm... maybe we, my wife kids and i, should go visit the grandparents this winter. take the cherokee of course unless i have one of my dodges running byu then (yeah right....) or maybe a ford if i have it and its running (there again yeah right). no way in hell i am taking the yota. to far to drive something that kills my back.
