Annual OR/WA TSF Camping and Wheeling Shindig

The green wire (ABS Kill) is used frequently, but the YWM (4LO TRAC) has yet to really prove itself to me.

 

Looking forward to hear opinions and explanations on it. I don’t think I’ve really had an issue with ABS iirc

 

@Chickenmunga is that last spot still open? If so ill take it

 

Hell yeah, you got it! Just fill in some blanks for me. I could guess, but there's a thing about assumptions and all...

 

Alright, it's getting down to the magic weekend, y'all. Below is the current roster. If you are changing your mind, I'm giving you until end of day this Friday 6/1 to back out, otherwise you are considered committed to this wild band of shenanigannery!

Definitely green difficulty.

 

I’m so bummed I’m missing another year. Freaking little sister graduating this time

 

green, you say?

 

I’ll be caravaning down with @Skootter14 ok Friday, leave Sunday, camp, and all black to double black trails.

 

If I was able to make it through all of the black diamond trails I expect to see you at least hit a couple of the good double blacks. (Ok, I did have winch up Rocky Up Hill in the mud)

 

Thanks, updated. I think your trail difficulty is pretty spot on, though some of them you might not be as impressed with - I've done Can Opener, for instance.
It's too bad you don't live down in this area because Cascade Cruisers would love to have you as a member.

 

I'm going to see if I can get out there this weekend with the motorcycle to scout the trails we don't visit as much. If there's a local who wants to join me, send a PM. I won't be doing trail riding so much as just surveying.


Rogers Rd (rated as blue to double black, this used to be a really stupid trail. Last time I checked, it was an access road almost taken over by tree branches)
Firefox (only looking because I'd already be out near Rogers Rd trail. Rated a black, you could drive this in a dually with a trailer.)
Saddle Up (used to be really cool, they completely redid it a while back)
Dog Leg (I didn't know this really existed)
Waldo's Way (marked as a quad trail, someone tried telling me it's a Class II trail )

If I have the time, I'll go find Jones Creek trail, I don't think I've ever really found it. It's kind of out of the way for this event, but if it's a solid trail we might get it in the mix somehow as a Friday trail or something.

We rarely do Bates 24)/Lyda (100)/Ample and Alluring (26), and I'm not sure how much I'll scout that since I'm a dirtbike noob and those are kinda steep.

 

So this truck parked by me today on Ft. Lewis but had Oregon tags...anyone know them?

 

I’ve talked to the guy who runs it quite a bit but we haven’t done any trails yet.

 

Might have to try that triple black if that’s the case

 

Oh @Chickenmunga whats the trailer parking situation like? I’ll be hauling my pig down on a trailer..

 

Camping rules state parking does not cost any extra for trailer or anything sitting on top of the trailer, so you are only paying as if you drove one vehicle.
If we can get our traditional campsite, the parking area is deep and sort of right-triangle shaped since it's on the corner of the camp loop. @snowgod06 came last year with a F250 and a flatbed with his Taco on it, and could park without unhitching. I think we could get one more like that parked alongside? We are looking at 13 vehicles and 2 trailers, some of which are RTTs, so it's going to be interesting. I think we can cram 10 in with no RTTs, so we probably need an extra camp spot for overflow.

 

Aaron S in the Samurai backed out (blown R&P)

 

@pnwtaco take his spot
