NW WA BS Thread (Whatcom, Skagit, Island counties)

You should hit up the brewery in twisp while you are there. Twisp River Pub. Good food and good beer! Never camped there though. Should be fun.

 

When you get into Winthrop the you'll follow the highway turning right as you come into town. That will take you to Twisp.. if you turn left there the road winds up behind and above Winthrop out of town taking you by lake perragin etc. There are some excellent views you can get of the valley as you wind up the forest service roads. Great place for some very mild off-roading and pictures.

A great way to head home is to go south out of Twisp on the highway and make your way through Alta Lake, Pateros and then Chelan and Wenatchee. Then come home through Leavenworth for lunch or dinner. "South" is a great traditional Mexican restaurant in Leavenworth. Highly recommended.

We make this round trip once a year at least... really pretty in fall when the leaves start changing colors.

Have fun!

 

thanks guys! I will have to check it out!!

 

have fun this wknd?? i saw you today at nugents corner at the round about... just mobbin in my work truck

 

Yeah I had a blast this weekend!! Forgot to put my memory card back in my camera though...so no pics camped up on one of the back roads away from the main crowds (my groups too noisy for close quarters haha) Enjoyed the rodeo and walkin around winthrop. so yeah all in all it was a good time! haha must have been coming from or going to the gym...thats about all I did today haha. I'm living out in deming for the next month or two until I get a place in town, so I'm out on 9 and the mount baker highway alot! your the first person to spot me! ha

 

oh! and at the rodeo I saw a white taco with the red devil horns emblem/ aftermarket bumpers....dunno who it was tho!

 

Vacation BUMP - So many custom taco's out here in Glendale, AZ. I Roll back to the NW Sunday. Stoked to get back and get my lift on finally.

 

Nice dude. Wish we were back in the desert! We are camped outside Olympic National Park on the Hoh river for the night.

 

Hey dude what kind of tent is that?

 

It's a Mombasa Adventure series II to be specific. Model 9010.

 

You can also try Columbia Overland or Cascadia tents, both are based out of Bend, Oregon. I went to a presentation for Cascadia, and I really liked their products.

Cascadia also rents their products, so you can try it out if you like.

 

@$1200 I might just stick with the family tent trailer...

 

Not sure where Whatcom or Skagit or Island Countries are at but I'll be in Seattle next weekend for my cousins wedding. Staying at a hotel at Renton?? Some sh!t like that. Is Seattle anywhere near you guys?

 

seattle is a little farther south..not by much though...they are the 3 most upper counties in NW WA seattle is about 90 miles south of me.

 

Heading to Leavenworth/Wenatchee National Forest Monday-Thursday! Anyone want to get their trucks dirty?

 

Sounds fun man. We just got back in town from Olympic Peninsula for 4 days. Didn't get too dirty, explored a few forest service rds and camped in the hills. Wish I had more time off. I'm just about tapped out on vacation for the yr now.

 

I need to get one of those bad ass tents you have.

 

The tent is real nice man. They are pricey up front and kinda hard to justify but it has been worth every penny for us this summer. We've spent 25 nights in ours this yr and a lot of them have been in spots that woulda sucked to set up on the ground.

 

Nice Brotha! Looks like a good time right thurr, gotta love the NW. Spidertrax Spacers showed up while I was gone and are legit thanks to OffRdn916. Lets do a Mod Day soon.

 

I most likely won't have any mods to do .. unless I pick up a DRL kit. Down for a get together anytime tho.
