NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Checking the web site it looks like most of the area is closed until june 15 according to there maps.

I checked Fortune creek specificaly and it is closed june 15th
I checked the Mine to Market trail and it said closed April 15th to June 15th yearly

I emailed the ranger to get more info.

 

hey does anyone know what those tents are called that is on the black truck at the top right hand of the web page. the ones that go over the bed of the truck?

 

That one looke like a Cascadia Vehicle Tent

 

Rtt... roof top tent

 

... I WANT ONE SOOO BAD! Every time I find a good deal on one I have already spent all my play money.

 

Anyone want to meet up for lunch this week in the sodo area?

 

does it come with mounting hardware or do you have to have a rack

 

Everyone I know of has done their own custom racks or had one fab'd

 

Maybe get with jeverich. He might fab one up if you are nice

 

I want one too, but we have a Eurovan so it an uphill battle to convince Jill that we need a RTT.

You know I do.

 

Jeverich has built a bed rack for his 6' to carry his ARB RTT.

I could see how thats an issue lol

 

6 inch bed? What's he driving? A Tonka truck?

 

Ya! it looked SWEET!... I meant 6' bed... fixed.

 

Email from ranger about Liberty area




They are open by default, only because not enough snow has fallen as of today to close them yet. However, they are very likely to be either pure ice or muddy and it’s not advisable to use those areas at this time of year. Typically, they would have been snowed in a month ago and then we close them until June 15th. Our District does try to open individual trail segments as the trails become snow free in the early summer and we can log them out. If a reasonable distance of a loop trail opens before June 15th, we will post those segments open both on the ground, and on the internet as “open trails” prior to the official date.
Thanks for inquiring before going out there, and please contact Cle Elum Ranger District directly at 509-852-1100 or look on cleelumtrails.com for updated information prior to June 15th .

Is there a plan B? I've never been to Tahuya. Is that worth it to go this time of year?

 

Bwahaha... Super custom bed bob.

Shoot me a PM if you'd like some info on a rack.

 

I don't mean to keep badgering you but did you get a chance to run some numbers on the Amsteel? I think I will be ready to buy soon.

 

Thanks for reminding me.. PM'd

 

Any other thoughts to a Jan 25 run? That will probably be the last run I will have time for over here before I move across the state.

 

We have a SAR potluck thing on Saturday, so Mike and I wont be there
