NE Wa and N. Idaho

Were you at Best Buy in the valley today around 1:00PM?

 

I was. That was you in the parking lot? I could see you eyeing me but couldn't tell who it was from that distance

 

Yep. Too far away to see you clearly. But impossible to miss a Blazing Blue Pearl Tacoma!

 

Anyone found a good spot to head out with so many places being closed? I am going crazy cooped up at home.

 

The National Forest roads are open. I went last weekend for a bit.

 

Where exactly did you go? Washington or Idaho?

 

Idaho. CDA. There was still snow as you go deeper into the forest

 

Down along the river basically downtown Spokane...

Yeah not exactly what you meant but it's all I got right now...

 

Might head up to the Colville national forest and get out on some forest service roads/shoot some guns Sat or Sun. Should be a good weekend!

 

Got out two weekends ago. Won’t disclose location, but it was a combo of BLM/FS roads to get here. If you know where this is, please don’t say. Gotta keep the PNW wild!

 

Was also pretty proud of myself. I was the only non sidexside vehicle down there with tires smaller than 40” and an IFS.

EDIT: we had to go through 3’ of snow to get here.

 

I was thinking of driving out there I've never been

 

I used to live up there about a year ago, there's good stuff around the S Fork Mill Creek Rd. Just have a heads up for snow, I pushed my old Tundra too far last year and got it stuck pretty good. I hope to try to link new FS roads together and try a new route

 

When's the best time to go there so I don't have to worry about a bunch of snow?

 

If you go West of town to Sherman peak, like June or July. If you head North East by bear creek lodge, I would say most of the snow should be melted up by the end of the month. Going up to the Radar Dome is a good time as well

 

I've got a pretty good idea where this is. I love it there. We're usually by there the first weekend in August. It's much greener this time of year.

 

Is there a shop around Spokane anyone recommends for doing a cab mount chop? I’ll be installing 285s in the next month

 

If you find one let me know. I bought the plates but haven't really looked around.

 

4Wheel Parts in Post falls does them for 300 or 350, I don’t remember what he quoted. Price was about on par with what MULE was charging. I have no idea of the quality but he said they have done them and know what they’re doing.

 

How long ago was that?
