Sandy Oregon and surrounding area peeps

gotcha

 

I’ll check out the thread though! @Toywoodsguy82

 

You would be supposed how well a stock truck can do.

 

Thats true! Worth a shot

 

I just joined the Mt Hood Athletic Club and was surprised to see quite a few built Tacomas there!

 

I need to join back up again. Cut my membership when they had to close up during the start of Covid. I used to swim at least five days a week. I’ve gained twenty pounds since.

 

Yeah I’ve gained quite a bit as well. Figured it’s time to start getting healthy again. They’ve added some new stuff and had a remodel since I was there last.

 

well, lets get this back on track, there has to be somewhere we can all go explore, grab some lunch or something, heck someone has a piece of property and a fire pit those of us local can all hang out and BS about life and all.

heck if I didn't need to do a serious rehab on my Firepit id say we can fill my property with some trucks.

 

I would like to actually start meeting people. I don’t really have a lot of property but I’m happy with meeting up at Boring Brewing, Just Rum or some other place near by.

 

I’m currently in sandy for a few hours. I can let you know when I leave my friends house

 

I’m home with a sick kid so I’m unfortunately not available this evening.

 

heck Sandy, just "down the road" from me! We should get something going.

 

Anyone happen to make it to Badger Lake yet? I drove over road 44 and past 15mile camp a couple weeks ago and the snow was fully gone so I assumed it would be clear to Badger. I have a buddy up driving around the area and there is big timber down on the approach from the south via road 4860/grasshopper. Anyone make it from Bennett Pass or Bonney Meadows?

Normally I'm happy to bring a chainsaw and clear roads. In this case I'm asking for a friend who is currently up driving around. I'll post the results of our investigations.

 

Haven’t seen any reports yet but badger tends to stay snowy a little longer then Bennett because of oh many shade pockets are on the road

 

Hey everyone! I'm in Sandy and am always down to do a meet-up with the trucks and beer! I work a crazy work schedule, but I think I can find some time if planned in advance.

 

Little snow wheeling up hillhockburn out past Colton. Few feet deep in places

 

Very fun looking! How far up did you make it?

 

oh hell you would ask me that, think Helen lake. small frozen over. grew up out there, one of us was looking at GPS maps at one point because the few of us couldn't remember. also don't mind the edge of my fat finger over the cam

not to far up, becasue we got hungry, and found that giant firehole from some friends who when up night before.

 

Oh nice! That’s a decent ways up.
It’s a different drive since the fires. And those drop offs are a whole lot more evident without trees blocking the views lol.

 

oh 100% ive hiked from the bottom gate all the way up there swam in my 30's then hiked back down a few times, but yeah in a few feet of snow, and lots of the trees thinned or flat out gone its pretty wild looking. we talked about going farther but a few of us were not dressed near as well as we should have been if we had gotten really stuck, i was the only one with a winch, but plenty of straps and shovels if things got weird!
