907 Monthly tAKoma meets!

Early, cuz it's far haha

 

How deep is that on average? I've never crossed it

 

It really depends sometimes you can easily walk across and sometimes it can swallow lifted super dutys on 44s I've seen it plus it is still illegal to shoot out there

 

I checked the reg's and it is legal once you get a long ways out, I don't remember but I want to say its based on a longitude or latitude measurement.

Is that the first crossing where the river crosses the trail as the trail comes down a fairly steep embankment? I almost drove off that while trying to find a good northern lights spot. That scared the beejeevus out of me.

 

Hi

Don't have the house yet. But yes. Busy living it up!!

So sunday.... Sutton. Meet where and when??

 

Oh yay, Sunday...

 

Snowroxkt, the first crossing is Jim creek and it changes a lot from day to day I often just sit at the creek and watch some people cross so you can find a good spot or put on hip waiters on and walk a path across. After that there is two more creek crossings one is called Friday and I can't remember the other creek name but they both are pretty easy and vary from one to two feet deep. I think I'm done wheeling my truck out there in the summer because I've gone through to many wheel bearings that silt is no joke

The first crossing is in the flats area. You go down the access road and then it opens up. Maybe a mile into the open area is Jim Creek. Then you have a bit of a ways to go before you have to cross another creek.

The Jim creek crossing can be easy... or a bitch. I have swamped my dirtbike in it twice from suddenly sinking into a rut/deep spot. Now, we always walk it first. Or watch a couple of guys cross first and follow them.

Anyone been down Maude Road? Doesnt look like there are any shooting restrictions there??

 

Let's do maude road? I'm down for maud.

Let's head out at 10:00 AM Sunday morning. I say 10 because I know yall run late.

 

lol no. never running late in my life


were to meet up?

 

Ummm Fred Myer at Debar and Muldoon? Who has room in their yotas?

 

I may or may not have a friend of four with me If not, then I do!

 

Awesome. Let's have some fun. Anyone have targets or stands? I am told for maud road you have to bring your own chairs and stuff

 

If I'm not putting flooring in I'll be down to go

 

Come anyway. I can help you do flooring Saturday if you need me

 

I have a tailgate

 

Maud has benches but I think you'll want to bring your own chair, although they might have some out there by now, I don't remember... And you can't have "trash" or exploding targets out there I believe.

 

I can bring some targets, I need to get some ammo, can buy a couple more. I don't have any target stands but they can be made with a couple 2x4's

 

So I hear you can't use a jack...

 

More like accidentally unscrewed the air relief valve and a little oil came out. Ok so get more oil to fill back to original level per instruction manual, then bleed air out of the system, again per instruction manual. Nothing. Bleed air out of the system multiple time still nothing. Say screw it and warranty it at lowes 5 minutes before they closed, finished brake pad replacement.

If it helps koa just stood there the whole time while me and another guy did all the work cause he didnt want to get dirty, and when he did help he installed the brake pads wrong........twice........ in a row

Also just an fyi the rear end on a toyota tundra sits a good 6 inches higher than the front end. And there are no good points the front to place a jack stand.
