NW WA Meet / BS Thread

So... Did anyone decide on the next meet? Start w a date... I heard the 16th? Thats a good weekend for me, anyone else?


GO BALTIMORE!!!!!

 

the 16th or 17th sounds good to me

 

I have lived in Cle Elum/Roslyn area almost my whole life and I have never seen Galena or heard anybody talk about it. Of course the hills in that area are littered with abandoned mines and cabins so I probably didn't think anything of it if I passed it.

 

exploring sounds like fun

 

16 works

 

any good fireroads around sea/tac area 10-45min away?

 

Ok so the 16th or 17th seems to be a good start, i know everyone is up for a snow adventure, so next step is where???

I would'nt mind going to the newly opened reiter foothills on the 17th, also snow high bridge looks cool, didn't look into gelena much and jacks pass looks good but i would have to sit that one out, to far...any other ideas?

 

.....so..... Anyone wanna go play?

 

I'm down any Thursday or Friday, and got a 4 day the 22 if any ones game

 

Sorry I haven't been much help, I've been running a bit thin lately trying to get on top of some other issues.

From the looks of it, High Steel Bridge itself will not have snow, but as you make your way towards spider Lake, you get to higher elevation. Making all the way to Wynoochee Lake would be probably impossible, since the mountain pass is going to have over 6 feet. Spider Lake would be probably easy, Pine Lake might be too much... I don't know the area, I'm just looking at a snow map and google. If we wanted to go there, it would be pretty exploratory.


Gifford Pinchot area would have around 2 feet of snow all over it, topping out at 4 feet in upper elevations.


Name a time and location and I'll be there, either way.

 

I've got SAR training that weekend, and I work every Thurs and Friday

 

Now the gifford pinchot is more my neck of the woods.... Unfortunately they usually plow all the snow into a barrier Thats only (supposed) to be passed by snowmobiles, they even go as far as posting signs... It usually doesn't open to all motor traffic until the snow barrier melts away... Around april-ish???

 

I'm of no help when picking a place to go....but I am still down! I just loaded my truck with all of my recovery gear tonight. Now all I need to do is install my cb so I can talk shit while we wheel... Heh heh

 

I'm down for the 16th, but cannot do the 17th, so Reiter would have to wait until March for me. I wouldn't mind exploring FS-23 again (high Steel Bridge area).

 

As long as I get to engage 4 wheel drive

 

^^^same here Im down for the 16th to the steel high bridge, Im sure we can find more than 1 place to get stuck!!!

 

Looks like I'm out for the 16th. Work just scheduled a server install. I can do the 23rd if we make sure to get back at a reasonable time

 

Or the 16th AND then 23rd..... Heh

 

Hard for me to tell which day would work so I'll just say I'm tentative but whatever day it is will try my best to make it. I really need to take some time and get my winch hooked up. It's starting to sound ridiculous even to myself that I've owned a winch for 5 months but have yet to install it. Such is the life of a professional procrastinator.

 

well ive only been dreaming of a mod day for two months... cant believe that everyone up here is sans mod space.
