The wife and I are Tillamook Oregon now. I am not used to having a permit to go off road. In south eastern states I have never had one. However I have learned to check. And even though we got permits for Washington and Montana. You also need one in Oregon to do as much as turn onto a dirt road.
So, yesterday I tried to get one but I have zero service here at the RV park. This is only the second place I have had zero service. The BOH app. Lists a ranger station. So I told the wife let's just head towards the trail and stop at the ranger station. Well they don't sell permits at the ranger station, and again no service.
I decided to hit the trail anyway because it was 30 miles back to town where I can get service. I told the wife on the way back we will go into Tillamook and get a permit, hopefully if we get service there.
So we find cedar tree trail and after a short distance we come to a main road. And what do we find? A sheriff sitting right there standing outside of his truck waiting on us to come out. In all the places I have off roaded I have yet to run into a ranger of a sheriff.
Of course the first thing he asks for is the permit. I politely explained that I had no service at the RV park. Showed him the brochure the ranger station gave me and told him I had tried like six times to log on and get a permit. He said well I am still giving you a ticket. I said yes sir, I understand.
Then he walks back and looks at my plate, (Florida )asks for my license. Steps back about two steps and is looking at the jeep. He says I see you got a few BOH badges on the fender, I said yes sir working on getting a few.
He says you know this is a BOH trail are you logged in. I said yes but no service, so it will go through when it can. Then he says, looks like your lifted about two inches with 33s. I said yes sir, exactly. He said my jeep has the same set up and I have made both the BOH trails up here. Then proceeded to give me directions to the next trail.
Then he says, I tell you what, when you get to the top you will have service. Log in up there and get the permit. I said yes sir.
Hands me my license and says have a nice day and be safe.
Jeep brother, whooo hooo. Lol.
