NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Well, work says I'm not working today. I'll be there.

 

Stupid boss made me go to stupid work. Stupid. Now I am sad.
Please send pics of today's run so we can live through you vicariously.

 

Started out really quiet then a ton of darrington locals came up. Not a bad thing, apparently it was cut your Christmas tree day in darrington haha

 

Thanks for the pics Bri! Looks kick it was a beautiful day!

 

That was a ton of fun, pretty sure we met all the locals.

 

I finally made it home....had some stops on the way to make. Fun meeting everyone. It was a nice, easy going run. And yes the (what seemed like) 40 people there to find their Christmas trees was a bit of a surprise.



I had a good, scenic start to the trip up. Was an amazing view before you got on the bridge but still not to bad on it.


Then just the scenic point. Wasnt ot much to see other than the view from here. The temperature was quite odd. It would be 32 degrees then go up to 37 then drop back to 32. It was ~32 at the start and ~40 where we parked at the top.

 

Good day for sure, nice getting to meet all of you guys. Not only did we see the whole damn town but we had to adopt their dog for a while but I guess that's just Darrington. And I really didn't know what to think of the random old guy carrying a cooler in the middle of the trail a 1/4 mile from the nearest vehicle.

I am glad to find out my CB works even if my SWR meter says it's garbage, I will have to look into that when I get a chance.

 

I ended up going up green mountain after, found more snow. Pics in a bit.

 

And, dump.



Fido


And after we were done, Green Mountain.

 

How'd the new tires do?

 

Good. They very much dig to the bottom and then grip. You can feel a little bit of sidewall flex when you start into a turn, but not enough to be worrisome. Quiet on the freeway, and the balance is good. They did have to put a lot of weight on them though. I was really surprised I didn't have to air down on Green Mountain.

 

Beautiful pics. Who's Shorthair?

 

No clue. Random dog that wanted to be friends, for the one time low price of sandwich.

 

Ha. That's a Shorthair for you.

 

Wish I could've joined you guys. Out in Spokane for a family Holiday weekend and Pheasant hunting. Temperature this morning....

 

Looks like it was a good time!

 

Reminds me of when i was in Bozeman. Think the coldest i actually went out to the car in was around -30. Which sucked cause it took like 20 minutes for the car to warm up enough to be driveable. All for a 10 minutes drive. I ended up walking or bussing it in the winter there.


@Pyrite Mica were you on I5 today around 830-845 up by Everett? I saw a Double cab Pyrte Mica tacoma with a tacomaworld sticker on my way up this morning. They hopped right over to the HOV lane and then got off after not to far.

 

I bet Fritz didn't like that to much

Nope. I'm an east sider. I am looking forward to heading that way again for another trail run!

 

Any 3rd Gen guys getting a group together yet? Just picked mine up this week and am planning on taking it out soon.
