Backroads from Easton WA to Greenwater

[@leftystrat62]

1st time to your channel- love the 2 door Jeep and loved the angles of your drone footage to show it off and killer beard. cheers

[@johnsjeepandoutdoor]

Thank you 😃 I just gave up on shaving I think.

[@phil_w8]

Thanks for putting this video together. I know it's a lot of work! I enjoyed your video and seeing this route, and especially somebody else flying the Skydio to capture different angles autonomously. Nice Jeep, keep it up!

[@johnsjeepandoutdoor]

Thanks! I see you have a Skydio as well. It's a fun drone I wish I had more time to get out with it :)

[@GrahamFamilyFarmNW]

Very nice video. I have been gone from Easton across Stampede Pass to FS70 twice, but never the route you took. I would love to take that way someday. Looks fun. Thanks for sharing.

[@johnsjeepandoutdoor]

Thanks, its a fun detour to the full Stampede route for sure :)

[@chadsjeeps4134]

Wow, I was there the day before! Turned around at the more serious creek section. I just barely cleared the downed tree with my RTT after the first crossing.

[@johnsjeepandoutdoor]

Yeah some low hanging obstacles for sure. I took it super slow and listened for grinding even without a RTT :)

[@ednawiltse2427]

Great video, John. Beautiful country. You did a great job with the drone. Keep it up. Felt like I was taking that ride in the jeep right with ya!

[@johnsjeepandoutdoor]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@svseaglobe]

Sweet video. I really enjoyed this. Thank you for sharing.

[@johnsjeepandoutdoor]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@EatCarbs]

Nice! I used to do this kind of thing in my truck when it was running. I've been up and down FSR 70 a lot and have camped there many times. Thanks for the video

[@johnsjeepandoutdoor]

Thanks for watching! Still many more trails for me to explore out that way :)

[@EatCarbs]

If my truck was running I'd love to go exploring up there more.

[@gwynn1975]

Thanks for this video. I just mapped this route with GAIA GPS and can’t wait to explore this area more later this year.

[@johnsjeepandoutdoor]

Hope you enjoy it! Its a fun run for sure.

[@CascadeGriz]

Thanks for sharing, some good shots of our area

[@johnsjeepandoutdoor]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching

[@rogue109]

Great video, that little drone is amazing!

[@johnsjeepandoutdoor]

Thanks, yes it's turning out to be amazing.

[@mikebarrager8293]

Hey John just a suggestion with your drone you spend most of the time just looking at the jeep with a small area of the wilderness as you are traveling. The trails you are traveling are in really gorgeous country.

[@johnsjeepandoutdoor]

Thanks Mike, and yep I agree. I need to start getting more context shots for sure :)

[@brianfisher3991]

Nice jeep 👍

[@johnsjeepandoutdoor]

Thanks!

[@jrg0413]

Nice video I am trying to do this route soon do you mind messaging me the road on the Easton side?

[@johnsjeepandoutdoor]

Thanks! sorry for the late reply, but you want to take cabin creek road to NF-41 (cabin creek trail) at NF-140 make sure you stay on NF-41 it will look like a smaller road going off into the trees :) From there you just have to navigate through the water to find the trail on the other side. It was a bit of trial and error for me.

[@clk27us]

@Jrg0413 if you look up Northwest Explorers on KZbin , they have a 1.5 hr video of the complete trail, uncut from beginning to end. Every turn and forest road number. Super helpful for anyone that has never done the trail. It is a little tricky making all the right turns. They even mad a few wrong turns and had to backtrack. They were going west to east , opposite of this video. On their KZbin page, they have two versions. The short video and long video. You’ll want to watch the long version. Hope it helps. Have fun!!!

[@DelanoJ]

Love Cabin creek area. Did same trail but reverse in Sept. how do u like the skydio drone with the beacon? I watched ur rimrock & van Epps vids n wondered how u drove & flew drone at same time. I mostly go out solo & the autonomous tracking looks amazing

[@johnsjeepandoutdoor]

The Skidio is great. I was a bit skeptical at first but the more I use it the more I'm starting to trust it. The beacon is almost necessary for the trees :) I still want to do more testing in very tight trees, but I'm waiting till I fix the Jeep. Broken ball joint and FAD after Rimrock haha...

[@DelanoJ]

@@johnsjeepandoutdoor saw that video bout fad/ball joint. I’ll keep watching

[@gonearoundthebendPNW]

We are planning a group motorcycle ride (Honda CT-90 & 110's) piloted by old guys this coming summer, except we plan to go the opposite direction, (west to east) is it possible to make this trip bypassing the deep rutted areas of the Naches trail on the west side? We would need a place to launch from with camping/rv area and would plan to do an over and back day ride. If you have any gps track data or recommendations I would appreciate it! P.S. great job on the video! & we can always use a vehicle escort if you would consider making the trip with us.

[@johnsjeepandoutdoor]

Yep on motorcycles this whole trip would be a breeze. You could even skip the water crossings as a bike could make the washout. At least the year I went. The other option would be to not hit Greenwater and do the entire stampede pass. Just an option. There is plenty of camping up FS-70 and the surrounding area. I saved the track in onx, and might be up for a day trip :) I'm about an hour from FS-70. I'm doing a bunch of work to the jeep at the moment. Hopefully to finish late spring.

[@AtigunPass]

It would be nice to see this route on a map.

[@johnsjeepandoutdoor]

I’ll try to post the .gpx track somewhere.

[@Doc1855]

I / we enjoy off roading but I don’t take my truck where it’ll get pinstriped by plants.

[@johnsjeepandoutdoor]

It's like nails down a chalkboard right :) I don't know why I can't help myself but to punish the jeep haha.

[@aaroncollins20]

Where is this trail located

[@dominicpartida5808]

Have you ever taken people through here I've been thinking about going in my runner

[@johnsjeepandoutdoor]

I have not, but not against the idea. No idea how deep that creek gets in the winter/spring though.

[@johnathand6211]

Do you think a forester can do this in the summer time?

[@johnsjeepandoutdoor]

My guess is you would be fine. I tried my best to make it look more difficult than it really was :)

[@knotbumper]

I'm curious about the editing. You show passage through the 1988 Windy Point fire and next video you are not even close to the 7038. the Windy Point fire is only 15 minutes from pavement.

[@johnsjeepandoutdoor]

I'm assuming you are referring to the cut around 18:50? If that's it I did take a left hand detour right around that point that took me off the main trail/road around the hill before rejoining the main road at 21:58. Just exploring some alternates :)

[@johnsjeepandoutdoor]

7038-110 BTW. I seen some camp spots down there I wanted to checkout :)
