NW WA Meet / BS Thread

I've got a winch. Unless it's melted of by a few feet, you guys have to be willing to go single digit. When that little bitch, @Foggy Noggin and I were there a few days ago, I had to go to from 7 to 4 to get out of a hole.

 

so... Start time?

 

There's bypasses for a bit of it. Some stuff is easy to start then gets sideways quick. Just an observation from my previous visit there. Rock gardens and stumps that leave battle wounds.

 

Observation from my last visit? We'll never see a trail. The FS roads will be challenging enough. Also,

if you watch, only go until 7 min mark, after that, they just sit there. but this is prob the easiest trail there i imagine, nothing crazy. BUT there is no snow down.

Im actually hopin the snow has melted so we can actually wheel, although I still have yet to experience a snow run so. . . who knows.

Mike is comin to my house at 10ish to help me mount he camera and realign my rear bumper. I would like to think we'll be done around 1200 if maybe that start time (from my house) works for others?

 

(evans creek looks good too, maybe in a few weekends??)

 

Evans creek opens March 1st, and it'll probably be close to 3 feet at the campground that weekend. Snow gets deep quick once you find it.

 

OK so @Skootter14 @JimSnell can we set a hard meet time? I'm coming from fall city/Issaquah area so I can meet anywhere along the way. Or if you guys have tinkering to do, maybe I can fuck with my winch before the run. Also not sure how the enforcement this time of year, a discovery pass is required.

 

I'll be bringing a few shackles a 10' strap, snatch block and hilift. Probably a shovel as well. I'll need to fuel up as close to the trail head as I can. I'm only getting 11mpg ATM. Also if someone has an air compressor to bring even better. I may just swing into Walmart on my way and buy a viar since it's one more item on my list to obtain.

 

Id suggest noon at the shell station in Eatonville, and then go in from the Eatonville side. I've got an extra can I can throw in if you want Bob.

 

And yeah, I've got air.

 

Room for one more? I now have a controller for my winch.

 

5 should be fine I think.

Tentative meeting at noon in Eatonville.

 

@Skootter14 has air too. He's in Yelm if anyone wants to meet there. @bobsuruncle dunno if you wanted to mess with your winch there or not

 

Here's a good pic of why you go single digit...

 

we can meet at my place around 1200 if you want. OR eatonville around 1230?

I do have onboard air. ill have recovery stuff as well. Have a CB (hopefully)

 

I won't be able to make it. I made the mistake of not looking at the time for when my storage opens up. I won't make it back in time and I don't want to cut the trip short. I have to get my trailer of the street today because I fly to cali tomorrow and the trailer will be towed by tuesday.

 

Pretty much.

@Skootter14

I'm going to have to run through a few sets of sliders and maybe a bedrack in order to get aqquainted with bending again it's been a while.

 

Lame. Adulting sucks.

 

Sliders, eh?
