February 2018 Seattle-Area Meet Part 2

They technically have a "room" where they have some products "for show" but it's like a 10x10 and it was pretty disorganized when I was in there.

I actually went in looking for a replacement part for my fridge and they can't even sell to consumers...they had to give it to one of their dealers who was there and I followed him around the corner to his shop to complete the transaction.

 

Is there any coordination with the people at ARB it is a group just showing up unannounced?

 

Coordinated. Kendra from ARB is supposed to be present.

 

I got super excited when I saw ARB was just down in Auburn, which then turned to utter disappointment when they said they couldn't sell direct. I'd probably roll down there next month unless I'm still smothered in work

 

Just a heads up, I'm pretty sure that meet is technically and Overland Bound meet.

 

Technicalities.

 

I'd be up for a single day meet. I don't get president's day off.

 

Anyone care to take a run this weekend? Maybe Saturday or Sunday?

 

Possibly Saturday, I work Sunday
Where were you thinking?

 

I was thinking about Tahya National Forrest, I came here before for a work event and it was pretty stock friendly.

I'd ride along with a camera.

 

What do you think about meeting at the Safeway in Belfair at 10am and head to the trail from there. I have been here once, it was nice, stock friendly and there are bypasses for the difficult obstacles

Well, if no one else is gonna post it, i'll bite...

It's changed quite a bit, I think for the better:
Yellowjacket Hill (is that still the name?) is considerably more challenging if not limited to SAS type of crawlers.
New trails connecting existing trails are or were being built.
The "little" puddles are still there and with this weeks deluge, they are probably brimming (watch the stump) @MaxxTRD
The flat whoops run that you allegedly could catch air or compress down to your skid plates and taco them in, those are gone.

 

Yellowjacket Hill is harder but probably still doable on 33’s if you hug the right side.
The new trails are kinda hard to find and you guys will need to take the bypass which is to the left of the gate keeper. You’ll probably need to bypass the first rock section but you’ll be able to do the rest of the new trail.

 

I want to go but I'm not trying to crunch my rocker again. Once this tax shit comes in I'm getting my sliders.

 

You'd be fine if you stay on the main trail.

 

sooo, not to be a debbie downer, but just looked at weather forecast for saturday. it is showing "rain", not "showers" all day.
not sure if this would make the day miserable and muddy and gross or just something to deal with in the pnw?
who knows, maybe it'll change before the weekend though!

 

That's just normal PNW and we are lucky to get 2 weeks of sun each summer; any more than that is bonus...

 

When people move to Western Washington they receive state issued Arcteryx triple gortex pants and jacket, and some rain boots. Right?

 

Yep.

We moved back from SD, CA in 2012. My wife was driving her California plated CR-V on Denny Way by REI and was stopped to allow a lights on ambulance go by. The ass hat behind her honks, pulls up besides her, yells "go back to F-ing California!!!" and speeds off!
