NW WA Meet / BS Thread

U mean Sequim? Not much east of there...
Actually I think I might head to the east side of the cascades instead for some sun and warmth. Same deal, looking for recommendations for dispersed/primitive camping ideally near water

 

Vantage, but....rattlesnakes

 

armored worms with sting. no fun. ellensburg was a crazy time. I haven't any details as I followed. 8 out of 10 on the difficulty scale.

 

It was if it was quick enough...

 

Looky what I picked up today...



Size comparison with my 10" old lodge inside it.

 

Yes, Sequim. Not so much east as south. It was raining last weekend so everything was wet and didn't look like fun for camping.

 

Can you be more specific?

 

Sure!
There are rattlesnakes. On trails, by the river, they can slither into ur campsite, etc.
it being desert and all, you just have to be aware. Especially with kids pets and going pee at night

 

Lol meant the location

 

There are scorpions too.

 

Ha! Sorry!
If u turn off like going to the gorge amphitheater but keep going to the very end if the road u can rough camp by the river. It’s very nice. Super hot in summer
Google satellite view gorge amphitheater and follow the road to the end and you’ll see where I mean.

Hey! Don’t laugh at me.
I’m old!

 

Where? I’ve searched high and low for the damn things but have never found them

 

So question for you....with the standard OEM E-locker in the rear diff, you have an indicator that will remain lit if locked and blink if it isn't and you can typically feel when the rear unlocks anyway. When activating the Harrop in the front, is there any visual confirmation of being locked or can you just tell by how it handles that everything has meshed and is locked up or unlocked?

 

with a selectable locker in the front, once its locked in you will know. turning becomes really difficult. doesnt matter if elocker or airlocker you will know

 

Okay cool. One more question for you or @hoarder23.....with the rear E-locker sometimes I have to turn the wheel a bit one way or the other to get locked up (usually don't have to do this to unlock but once in a while I do)......can either of you comment on how finicky(if at all) the Harrop is to lock up the front versus say an air locker?

 

Just walk around barefoot in the desert and you’ll find one. Works better if u r naked and unarmed.
Ask me how I know.

 

Come to Arizona.....we'll get you hooked up with all the local venomous wildlife...

 

BTDT, a few weeks is enough for me. I can barely survive above 80°.

 

Use your ears and not your eyes grasshoppa. You'll most likely hear one before you see it, and by that point, you're probably standing right on top of it.

I wonder what a 10mm would do to a snake at 5yrds. If you could hit the damn thing.

I was soooo glad I spent the winter in Missouri and not the summer. BIVUAC in the snow is more bearable than the humid heat and critters. Fox holes and snakes and ticks etc.. just don't work for me.
