    On damn, never seen that on the map!
    I guess I'm forgetting how far up there Becklar road is. I guess I'll go and hope to find something good.

    Idk if it's the same one, but the washout I saw out there last year was NASTY. In this area the road was paved, and there were HUGE sinkholes under where the concrete had given way. Like 10+ feet deep. There was nothing blocking the road, but you'd be an idiot to try and cross it.

    There was a little campground right before it though.

    Found it on Google Maps and there is (was) heavy equipment fixing it, it looks like. Look up "San Juan Campground Index, WA" and it's just west of there.

    We went up Beckler Rd to Jacks Pass, then followed NF-65 to there.

    Yeah I see it. I like how try it looks there, but I doubt it looks that way right now. I'll be interested in seeing..

    The road that shoots north from where that repair equipment is..that looks fun on Google Maps. Don't know if I can get to it though.

    I've been saving for this procedure for many, many years.

    Unfortunately, the nether regions don't seem to be impacted thus far.

    Who's got Wheelers 3 leaf? Did it require extended shocks, extended brake line or anything like that?

    Too many funerals for me this year, I need to get out. I'm thinking about next weekend the 15th-16th. Either camp at Gallagher or cruise part of WABDR. Maybe jump on it by Ardenvoir since I'm thinking of hunting around there again. Some open area's in the lower elevation and might be able to shoot targets at about 200 yards... anyone interested?

    It's not the right financial decision. I'd lose my ass on them, have to pay retail to replace, and piss off my wife.

    Going to wait it out.
