NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Yessir.

 

Any suggestions for off-roading on the peninsula (for a stock truck?)

 

I haven't really found any trails or anything just a bunch of FS roads towards the southern part of the peninsula.

 

Driving on the beach can be fun. I know you can at Ocean Shores

 

do you happen to know off hand if camping is allowed?

 

The Peninsula is a pretty big area...Tahuya is an actual off-road park and the main loop can be done stock.

Ocean Shores you can drive on the beach but dont think they let you camp there. But the state parks are pretty nice (well last time i was there)

The Olympics have alot of FS that can get you to all sorts of stuff.

 

Not an offroad trail but if you do happen to go to the peninsula, the Hoh rain forest is definitely a place to check out!

 

I know a guy named Johnny Ho who hikes in that rainforest a lot.

 

On my way down to the state of perpetual fires stopped by the Christmas Valley A-6 crash site in Oregon.

 

Hey if anyone decides to go to Tahuya this weekend or sometime I would like to tag along I have never been there before.

 

Im out of town this weekend and next but would be up for anytime after that really. Havent gone yet this year

 

My buddy and I are going this weekend

 

So where and what time do you guys usually meet when you go?

 

Not on the public areas, patrolled regularly. If I remember correctly there are campsites that get you close to the beach.

 

Who here has been camping up at twin lakes,mt baker wilderness? Seems like a good meetup spot,lots of camp sites,cool drive up,amazing views!

 

I have. Is there a prettier place to camp in Washington? Short two mile hike from those lakes to a firewatch building on top of Winchester mountain . Insane views up there. The road has been blocked most of the summer and was opened up rather secretly so its been easier to score a campsite than usual

 

Ya I just was up a few days ago!had the entire first lake to myself! I forgot my insoles and hiking shoes so I didn’t hike up to the lookout!i did walk out past the second lake on the old road and found a abandoned mine way way back there. That road isn’t on the maps but it was a pretty sweet walk,views the entire way! I think it’s my fav new car camping spot,beats lake mowich!

 

I love that spot. Next time remember your shoes and hike to the top of the lookout, I’m not sure there is a better view in all of Washington

 

Dammmmmmit! I should have gone up there last weekend.

 

Well words is out now
