North West November 3rd 2018 Meetup List and Plan

Everybody make it out safe? Some light snow on 410.

 

It was foggy! We're now in Enumclaw getting dinner.

There's more to that story! The wagon trail was problematic but great.

Here are my pics and a vid:

BTW, did you reinflate?

 

Haha I forgot to. I only dropped it to 25 though so I was fine.

 

Awesome trip. I was on a bit of a time constraint so I had to “bail out early” lol.

But it was great to learn the capabilities of my vehicle. I’d say that now I know, I probably won’t be pushing it just for fun. But my favorite thing about that was the awesome views and scenery, I’ll definitely be going back for some of those.

I’ll share my pictures and videos, but be warned my camerawork sucks.

Awesome.

 

Good to hear! Sorry about that!

Great pics and vids. Well, except that pic of me.

You nailed it the first time out.

 

Just an excellent day out. The weather even mostly cooperated.

Here's a weak screen dump of where we were. I'll get something better when I get on a bigger screen.



The first bit off 90 and the southern end of the dark blue track were epic.

 

Had a great time with all of you guys. Thanks again to everyone for playing your part.

 

Great pics!


BTW, for whatever reason, Waze kept sending me up 169. It worked, but. . .

 

Yeah, Toyota GPS wanted me to go 169... I just hate that stretch of hwy through Black Diamond and Maple Valley, so I went the long way to 167.

 

Ha! Agreed. I was too tired to fight it.

 

Yup. This group is planning on hitting the 17th run.

 

This actually helps me understand what we were doing WAY more.

 

@RChristopherSven Thank you kindly for being our Sherpa out there, it was extremely helpful. I imagine that if you weren’t showing us where to go, our trip might not have been as interesting.

Also to everyone else, thanks for being accepting of a “younger person” in your group. People in the same age group tend to exclude lil’ ass chillun’ like me despite all of us being on the same trip or doing the same activity. So anyways, thanks for being cool everyone

I make the same disclaimer as @CBenfell, I'm no cinematographer.

 

some photos from he last 1/4 mile of our wagon trail lol

 

Good stuff!

You might have gotten my better side there! Hahaha!

BTW, that second pic is excellent! Thanks for the big assist getting over that one!

 

Oh no! How will peeps not know that I wasn't crawling in some planters at the mall?



Anybody got a shovel that I can use to toss some mud at it?



Oh boy! Wheel rash.

 

That clean truck does not accurately tell the whole story.

Also, I'll take wheel damage over body damage any day.
