January 2018 Seattle-Area Meet

Not without a sled.

 

I’m in the olympics every weekend and it’s pretty bare unless it’s currently snowing. There’s a lot of cool spots to camp though. Would be awesome if anyone wanted to come this way another weekend!

 

I've only backpacked on the OP. I've tried to do some offroading there (outside of Tahuya) but kept hitting ONP border and Indian reservations. But I'm no OP expert.

I'm sticking to OR for now. Looks promising as long as you stay in the valley. And co-workers who have family in OR or other TW folks who have also been there concur with my thinking from there own experience. Youtube does too.

I make no promises on the stock-worthyness however overlanding isn't about rock crawling or seeking out the gnarliest terrain to four wheel over. It's about driving, exploring and finding wicked places to camp every night.

 

Looks like my jeep buddy is in.

 

As much as I would love to go but with driving back to Colorado for my move home I better not risk any breakage. I'll be leaving early next week.

 

It's not gonna be that kind of wheeling trip. Wanna drive my truck?

 

Translates to - How dare you skip out on a trip right before you head home?

 

The timing may not work out either depending on getting everything ready to go. I could possibly ride shotty

 

Come out dude. It's about the people, not the trucks. I mean, I invited that jeep guy.

 

Haha I understand that man you know this..
I'll see what I can do

 

I'm down for the Peninsula. Where do you normally go?

 

Usually start in Brinnon or Quilcene and just start go explore forestry roads until we find somewhere to camp. Gone up to Port Angeles and surrounding towns and explored but most of the roads I’ve found near there are closed for the winter. Can’t believe I’ve never seen your truck in Poulsbo before.

 

I live closer to Silverdale so maybe that's why haha it sounds like we both go to the same areas. I've started going further south by Lake Cushman; there are alot more roads down that way.

 

I’ll have to start making my way down there. Every time I’m out I find myself going further and further south on 101.

 

Next time you head out let me know!

 

I will

 

@TexMeg89 , can you add a plus 1 next to my name? Jeep dude is in for sure.

 

Also, do we need to make it 8:30 for @wafflroo ?

 

Would appreciate it! Won’t be able to make 7:30.

 

What's the plan here? Are we just meeting, wandering and then finding a spot to camp for the night? I may join Rocco for a multi-day overland trip.
