Annual OR/WA TSF Camping and Wheeling Shindig

I am still planning on going with my girlfriend aboard. I would like to check out the coast there too so not sure if we will camp with you guys and then go to the coast in the morning or maybe try for a site closer to the water. Any recommendations?

I got my shovel at Harbor Freight (thanks for the tip Mike!), and bought a 5lb ABC extinguisher + mount at Home Depot yesterday. Mounted it in back to the bed liner. The liner is a little wobbly with the weight but should be ok. Not sure what to do about that. I thought about a hi lift, but I have nowhere to place it underneath when it may be needed. But that reminds me...need to go out and check the jack I do have and see if it'll even work.

Edit: Stock bottle jack with a couple chunks of wood lifts the back end just fine, so the front should be good too.

Also aired up all tires including the spare, which was low. Now to just pack her up.

 

Pretty sure Mike has on board air, any others? Kept meaning to buy a small ac

 

I've got the

$70 VIAIR 85P - 00085 Tire Inflator Portable Air Compressor for Car, Truck & SUV 12V On/Offroad Tire Pump Air Compressor Portable Heavy Duty 60 PSI, Cigarette Plug, Twist Chuck

Viair 85P and it works just fine. Takes ~5 minutes per tire to go from 12PSI to 35PSI. Not the most speedy thing in the world, but it works.

I also picked up an

$54 ARB ARB505 Deflator Kit 10-60 PSI Tire Pressure Gauge Rapid Air Down Offroad Kit With Recovery Gear Pouch (PSI)

ARB EZ Deflator. Seems a bit better than using a key or stick to hold down the valve stem.

 

I have a small portable one, but not sure how good it will be. I might just air enough to get me to a gas station on Sunday.

Shovel. Tent. Chair. Water. First Aid Kit. Getting hi-lift. Grabbing fire ext. Cooler and will make some sammies. Need to get tools together.

(Just making a list so I don't forget things)

 

I just have a q logic mv85

Hola bitches lol. I'm able to step away and will be up Tomorrow morning. Unfortunately I'll have to leave morning- ish Saturday. But I'll see you fucks tomorrow

I'm packing light do to the situation, so I cant help with Fridays awesome dinner or Saturday breakfast like I normally do.

 

I'm shooting to be up there by 10-11am. So if I don't see any familiar trucks, I'll look for the big pay site or the big dispersed one. Once found I'll find service to inform you gents, unless mike beats me there tomorrow morning

 

I will be there 12 hours after you...

 

Well I'm going to change that up. Sister is off work tomorrow, so I'll have her meet me in Portland and take the kid. Then the wife can come down on her own later

 

I just realized I haven't built new bars for my cvt to fit under my bestop..... guess it's air mattress in the bed for me tomorrow haha

 

I'm tenting it on the ground... need to find my bag though

 

gonna be putting my cvt up tonight, suckers.

 

early or afternoon now?

 

Mines in my shop :/ does it still count as a RTT if I just set it out on the ground and open it? Haha

 

Afternoon. Looking at 3/4 possibly. Need to find a good spot to meet my sister and pass Levi off to her.

 

OK, since there's some new people on Friday, I'm going to do my best at some coordination:

• My plan is to show up at the Fred Meyer on Imbrie Drive around 10am or so, it might be 11am if I'm running behind. Watch this thread and I'll post an ETA before I leave. Send me a PM tonight and I can add you to Waze if you have that, and I'll blast y'all an invite to track my drive or something like that. I'm not that good at Waze yet so I might bumble it.
• I'll post up once I get in Freddy's and you have about 30 min to meet up with me if you want to caravan
• Once I get to TSF I'll find where we are camping, stake claim if we don't have it already, and take a GPS heading. Once I get to TSF, I have no cell reception
• I'll post the coordinates on a paper plate down at the Roger's staging area and possibly give a time that we will be expected to hang around camp. If you get there at a weird time, we might be out wheeling it up. Sorry.
• I'll mark off a tree or something at the camp site with some orange flagging tape. The tape will say TW on it in sharpie.

And since the first post is really hard to find, here is the map again

It's been a tough week and I'm running low on brain juice, so I'm trying to sort the last of it and check out for the night.

You have to use the ladder still!
