Damn no one. **** it. I'll wheel with my buddy who has a Yota. Lol

 

There was a thread around here somewhere from Central Oregon. I will see If i can dig it up in the next couple days.

 

If you are into the ORV areas , there is one located just WEST of Redmond on the Sisters Highway... There are others listed in the Central Oregon Recreation map sold in Bi-Mart and at book stores locally....
The one outside Redmond is pretty basic, a bunch of dips to drive thru and a rock garden, not much of a challenge, it's big, but I think more aimed at Quads and Cycles.
I was there early in the summer while my wife attended a conference....So I had days to kill so I went there and drove around a bit but got pretty board with it...
There are lots of BLM land around, so keep your eyes open there.
Might try to hook up with others in that area, I didn't have much luck but I do have a post here somewhere prior to going over there....
I just returned from a trip thru to HINES and Burns and Burns Junction.....Lots of open land there as long as you close the cattle gates and observe the ranch rules if posted.
Good luck ! "BH"

 

Cool. Thanks. Yeah I've driven all of what's east of Redmond down to the river. The only other places I've found is SW of Bend. Place called china hat road. You can drive up on top of the buttes then down the back and out into BLM. Nothing challenging though.

 

ha china hat is my only place i have gone in my 92 yj i live 10 minutes thats why. but i am wanting to go to some more challenging just to see what the jeep can really do but tjs2000 we should get together soon and go jeepin

 

I agree. Sorry about the delayed response.

 

I use Backcoutry Explorer with the BLM overlay on my smartphone when I am crusing around on the roads throughout the Junipers/sage. It lets me know where BLM and Private land is. Also I used Google maps and look for roads to explore.

I have not been over there since archery season last fall.

Welcome!

Portland here, but I do get out to Madras to visit the Erickson Aircraft Museum occasionally. For more info on what you might want/need for overlanding check out the main forum/JK general and you'll find all you need. I have one Badge of Honor plaque earned for doing Cedar Creek in the Tillamook forest. I have a JKUR and when I did Cedar Tree my Jeep was stock. I went with a group found on Facebook "Wranglers Offroad". I didn't need to lock in the diffs or disconnect the sway bar at all. Other stock Jeeps were there that day.
