NW WA Meet / BS Thread

I also have a door and bed dent from the stump in question

 

That would suck running into another group in the middle of one of those v-notches and having to back out in the mud.

 

One of us, one of us!

 

Yes, going downhill in that section, has it's own challenges:

Closer to stump, just around the corner

Just moved to the Mount Vernon area. Any one recommend some easy trails W/ decent views I can take the kids and wife out to for a day trip?

 

When you are looking for something potentially a little spicier check out walker valley ORV. There is a gatekeeper to get around but def some cool trails out there.

I know there was some fun around the Concrete area. I don't know the trails well but can drop some pins from pics that I took.

 

My buddies are setting up a shop with a two post lift and are putting out feelers to see if anyone in the off-roading circles would be interested. It would be a monthly subscription with a contract in the neighborhood of $200 a month. Spots are going to be limited to 10-15 people to maintain availability. Let me know if anyone would be interested.

 

I just saw another person do something like this, it was $50/hr but they also supplied all of the tools and dispose of oil etc. Interesting concept for sure.

 

Yeah, they’re still trying to hammer out the details, but currently it’s a fully equipped shop with hand tools, power tools, welders, etc.

 

The Lonepeak got installed yesterday.

 

As it should

 

The drive up to twin lakes off of 542 is more of a sketch forest road than a trail, but has some spectacular views on a clear day.

 

Won’t let me copy and paste. Not a trail but some rough rd. decent views and gets you up in to some meadows.

 

Isn't that road gated just a little ways past the big gravel pit at the top? I've been up there a few times and don't remember being able to go much further past the top. Ditto to the good views though, especially of my workplace lol

 

When was the last time you were up there? They gated the short cut that skirts the switchbacks.

 

Haven't been up there since summer last year, I could be misremembering

 

That’s the lower gate I think you saw. Max didn’t know the other way around either.

There’s 2 ways to get up from the Cumberland side. The gate you’re thinking of is new. You just have to keep going up the switchbacks and take a right where the gnarly water bar is getting washed out. It will look like the way you should go it’s a little wider and more used than going straight. Straight runs back into O’Toole Cr. Canyon and doesn’t really gain elevation.

 

Red is the gated short cut. Orange is the long way up that’s open.
