Oregon and Washington BS thread

It could also be actual theft. We had a guy a few years back get his stolen. He found it several weeks later completely burnt out in Capitol Forest.

 

Anyone heading to the mountains to ski or snowboard this week? Bachelor got 26" in the past 24 hours. Supposed to dump all week

 

Started coming down heavy and wet. Took out half of one 8' tall madrone next to the house. Now it is starting to rain. Hopefully getting lots of snow up higher, only ~600ft here.

 

Looking for someone to do CMC in Salem or Portland area!

Pic for attention...
I have some BAMF plates on order.

 

Well, I thought I'd hit Firebreak/Cedar Tree this weekend and throw some mud around...boy was I wrong. I didn't know the PNW got snow like this at this low of elevation. Everything's covered in 8"+ of powder, with another 3" or so worth of ice and slush underneath. I didn't wanna win a Darwin award or kill my ride (again), so I left the switchbacks and climbs alone on Friday.

Went chugging over to GP national forest Saturday to camp on Panther Creek, and it was more of the same. Nice part was that I saw one guy in a Montero roll down the way that night, and not another soul 'til the next day when I left...and had to winch a Jeep Renegade out twice. Believe it or not, stock 28" highway tires do not a snowbasher make.

Anyway, I'm new to the area and am down to grab a beer with some folks and put a run together. Holler.

I'm in the Salem are and would be down to drink beer and put something together!

 

Say no more. Vanguard Brewing this Saturday?

 

Looks like fun! That area always sees seasonal snow. Couple roads and passes further up the hill close every year. Good spot for snow mobiles and what not though.

 

How is it? Down here in Salem too.

 

My buddy Nick in Vancouver, WA does CMC’s. Here’s his info (360) 608-9983 Tell him Ro sent you.

Here’s a couple pix of before and after his CMC on my truck.

 

Heard good things, so I wanna try it out.

 

Biggest snowfall I can recall in recent history today. We had 16" here at the house! Drove the little red snowplow to work so my wife could have the Tacoma. She ended up not going to work but did get out & play in the snow with it a bit. We took it out for a food run a bit earlier too so I could play in the snow for the first time with it. Fun times! Did better than I expected in 2wd based on other comments about shitty traction with the factory tires.

This was more a pic of the vette than the pickup but you get the idea.



Here's the little red car when I was rolling/sliding in after work this afternoon. She was plowing snow pretty good with the front! Handled just fine, a little tricky getting through corners with the snow really piled deep but that was it. Nothing like learning to drive in the snow in Sandpoint though

 

Anyone got ice skates? Should be fun tonight.

 

Damn 16" in Eugene. Last time i remember that was early 90-95.

Enjoy it, beltline should be a blast tomorrow, people slowing down and sliding into the downhill side.

 

I’m looking for a black SR grill surround for a 16+ Tacoma.

 

Saturday Night sounds good to me!

 

Thanks a ton!

 

If there's any old heads still around here...

 

Nice! Looks like you finally found a place and left Hillsborito?

 

Oh shit... all the heavy hitters are moving into town!
