The Fellowship of PNW Tacomas | PDX Area Wheeling

We had a little bit of a family emergency this morning. Unfortunately I’m going to be out this morning. Sorry

 

Hope everyone/everything is okay! I still dragged a couple of friends out with me, I'll still be going; hopefully someone with some experience is up there haha otherwise I guess I'll be exploring a bit solo!

 

So update for me, since I won't have a "guide" I'm gonna wait a bit to head up so I've got some proper light; I'll be there probably 915ish

 

Yeah everyone is good. Thank you for asking. Sorry I was not able to make it. We will plan something in the next couple of weeks so it’s not last minute for people

 

Late upload @danadavenport

Didn't get many pictures since the drive up was wet and foggy; but we did find a nice spot to squeeze a few rounds and remained *mostly* dry

 

Awesome!!!

 

Looking at the weather this sat 11/20 is supposed to be nice( not raining). Who would be available to go somewhere in pdx/ southwest Wa area?

 

Just took a drive up Lolo pass yesterday. It appears there is a new locked gate at the top that is blocking the powerline road. So no more going straight at the top. Hopefully this is only seasonal...

 

Agree! So much of the forest has been locked off, it is getting harder to go anywhere.

 

Hey! Just stumbled upon this! Would love to join. I have a 2020 sport and my dad has a 2014 tacoma also. We haven't done too much but we have radios and I have some recovery gear. Would love to join sometime!

 

I'm in Oregon. In the valley.

 

Welcome to the group. We haven't done any formal meet-ups in a while, like what's described on page 1.... but everyone is encouraged to make some new friends and create your own meet ups. It's cool having this thread to connect with local people and go hit some trails or whatever you're into.

 

I drove through that gate at least once this summer. Gate was closed but did not have any locks on it, so you could still go through. However by July both ends were padlocked, I have a feeling it won't be opening back up and the long way is the only way through.

Any snow up there?

 

I feel like I was up there later in the summer to visit Jones creek... But maybe my sense of time is off. The gate that is now closed was certainly built in the last 4 months (new paint, gravel etc)

No hint of snow up there. We ended up driving up to top spur trailhead and hiking up for a while. It was 52 degrees at the trailhead and not even a hint of snow in the darkest corners of the woods.

 

Anyone going out tomorrow?

 

Was thinking about it. What did you have in mind? Been fighting a cold but I think it'll be gone by tomorrow.

 

Few of us meeting at 8am Safeway in Washougal wa tomorrow sat 11/20 . Will head up on larch mountain or up to 3 corner rock

 

Awesome! I’ll try and wake up in the morning and see how I feel. Been trying to sleep this cold off.

 

I'm curious, what is your favorite route up to 3 corner? I used to go up there for bouldering a long time back. On a recent trip I found that access from Beacon Rock was considerably less "friendly".
