We went to Brown's Camp today and rode hard for 4 hours straight. There's still some snow up there. I'm still pretty new there and learning my way around. We hit every trail we could find. Some are closed for winter. Didn't go on the "powerline" We rode "Blockbuster" "Mark" "Military" "Sidewinder" "Quary" and I think thats it. Still trying to find some other trails there. I know there's more. Going back tommorow.

Im getting old. I woke up and every bone and muscle in my body is hurting. Aint gonna stop me though. Going back today.

Ok heres a good lil trail, thats a bit out there tho....When ya come to the lil 3way fork, thats near the rock quarry, head down the road that passes the quarry (quarry will be on yer left) I believe the road is university Falls.....follow that for a few miles, to the left is a trail (cant remember the name off the top of my head) take that trail, then it will come to a road, then the trail continues, take that....then you will get onto another road take a right after the trail dumps ya on the road (very muddy new logging road) it will split into a Y shortly after the trail, stay to the left....then about 500ft down it, will be another trail, thats Cedar tree....its a wide truck trail, and VERY fun!! has some lil jumps going up it, and it gets rocky towards the end, but its an awesome trail!! and pretty long!

awesome I heard alot of good storys from a friend that's from their. Sounds fun

Cool. I'll check it out. After I rest a day or two. Been riding like 5 days straight.

Jordon Creek

Hopefully the weather will be good, I wanna hit up sand lake, with all the rain we have had the bowls should be nice and steep....with my new suspension, I wanna jump down em and see how far I can drop!! And it not being a weekend we'll be able to FLY through the trails (and not risk our lives)

It's not lookin too good. http://www.weather.com/outlook/travel/vaca...ayLink_vacation

Looks like I wont be going out this week. Riding in the cold, wet, melting snow finally got the best of me. I'm sick as a dog. But at least I had fun doing it.

Went ridin today. Lotta trees down right now at Browns. Kinda sucked. Lotta turning around. Still had a good time though.

Heading out for another day in the mud. :)

Started out at Browns Camp today. Too much snow so we headed back down the mountain to Jordon Creek.

I found several new trails yesterday down by University Falls. I also ran across the "Back to back" trail I always heard people talk about.

Headed out to Browns today. Kinda figured there would be snow up there. And there was. But the trails were very ridable. And someone cleared all the downed trees from the storm in December that were blocking trails. I rode til dark. I think I will go back in the morning.

I know exactly where your talking about. I found that trail the other day. I cant remember the name either. Also found the Cedar tree trail, and some parts of The Powerline trail I had never seen before.

Yesterday at Browns

Quarry Trail http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaQyeYzCRXU

They found a body out at Browns Camp on Sunday. I was out there early Sunday too. Must have happened after we left. http://www.katu.com/news/local/6438672.html And no, I didnt do it.

Discovered some new trails while camping at Lyda Camp this weekend. "Hogs Back" "Ample and Alluring" and "Archers Firebreak" Archers rocks. Best trail in the TSF.

A couple more trails opened back up at Browns. Clydes Trail, and a One way off Clydes Trail. Also a new section of Univerity Firepower off The Powerline. They have been working on several other trails too doing maintnance. A lotta jumps. Too bad I cant find any other ORG members to ride out there. Be kinda cool to ride with someone I dont have to keep stopping and waiting for them.

where is browns camp?

Its off Hwy 6. Mile marker 33. Halfway between Portland and Tillamook. Wanna ride some good trails, come on down. I'm there all the time.

It sounds fun, but if I am going that far I am going to the dunes.

Where do you ride trails up where you live?

Walker Valley, Reider pit

Thanks. I found Walker Vally OHV http://www.concours.org/ric/wvorv.htm I'm coming to Seattle Friday for a Kenny Chesney concert. Tempted to bring the quads.

Popker Runs at Browns Camp this weekend. I will be there Sunday. :)

Poker run was a huge disapointment. One flier said Jordon Creek, internet said Browns Camp. Neither gave a specific time. I was 15 min late. Didnt get to ride. Bull$hit. Not to mention, they were not the most friendly group I've encountered, and were less than helpful about giving out any info.

More new trails at Browns Camp. "Island Trail" is brand new. Pretty cool. Gonna be a challenge in the winter though. "Firebreak 5" is open again with new parts added, allthough its really more of a 4x4 trail. Still waiting on the "Sidewinder" to open back up again.

The riding is good at Browns Camp again. The dust is finally gone. Its back to mud and water. Just how I love it. They came through and cleared out all the downed trees blocking trails from the storm we had a couple weeks ago. "Gummy Worm" trail is finally re-opened. So is "Island Trail" "Black Water" and "Side Winder". I need to go back and ride Lyda Camp again so I can hit "Hogs Back" "Hood Raiser" "Log Jam" and "Archers Firebreak" if the snow isnt too deep up there yet. Id also like to hit Jordon Creek again too.

Went out to Browns Camp last Saturday. The snow is finally almost gone and the riding is getting good again.

Browns Camp is closed for fire season.

How do you get to Browns camp from HWY 22 - Salem area?

along with pretty much the whole Tillamook forest...

The easiest way would be to just take I-5 to 217 to 26 then merge onto Hwy 6 towards Tillamook just before you come to Banks. Follow Hwy 6 to mile marker 33 on top of the summit and it will be on the left. Probably about an hour and a half from Salem. Or you can take the back roads to Forest Grove and head out of town on Gales Creek Hwy til you get to Hwy 6. http://www.oohva.org/ohv%20area%20pages/browncamp.html If you ever wanna ride out there send me a PM and I will go with you and show you around.

hey mikey, do you use GPS or your "man skills" up there @ browns camp? I have been wanting to go but have been holding back until i get a little GPS unit...

Never tried a GPS, but if you ever wanna go I know the place pretty well.

yeah, i will let you know. I have to get her put back together but sometime this winter when i feel like getting all muddy I will PM you.

I havent ridden in almost 2 months. Hittin Browns Camp this weekend.

I need a ride. Browns Camp this afternoon. Should be good and muddy.

April fools day at Browns Camp

Happy Thanksgiving!!!! I think I will load up my quad and go get muddy before I have dinner. Gotta work up a good appetite.

Good ride today at Browns Camp. Managed to stay dry for two hours, then called it a day.

I think we may be going up this week, maybe. I wanted to go tomorrow, but I guess we're going up to Nicolai Mt instead.

Im racing at Woodland MX today and looks like dry weather all week, so I get to work this week. I might try and go to Browns next Saturday though Dec 5th. Should be decent weather.

That sounds good. I'll talk with my friends. Maybe during the week go mess around up at Gunner's Lake.

For some reason I didn't realize you're just over the mt and river. There are no bridge s between Longview and Portland, are there?
