The Fellowship of PNW Tacomas | PDX Area Wheeling

That’s sounds awesome! Just talking with my brother in-law and Father in-law trying to figure out some disbursed camping and though about Barlow Trail. Just concerned about the snow level.

 

I’ll be at the camp morrow portion of Pine Hollow Saturday for a few hours. Kids have a day camp. Hoping the rain tappers off by then.

 

I was up around frog lake and clear lake yesterday. There were a few patches of snow, but for the most part it was gone. I’d guess Barlow and LoLo are similar. Shady areas with snow, exposed sections bare.

 

let’s meet up

 

Thinking of getting out to TSF on Monday. Open to trails if anyone else wants to tag along.

 

Mid-June 2022… Barlow Trail is closed. White River fire clean up. Doubt it’ll open up this year. Drove around today looking for a campsite. Settled on a site near flag point. Breezy up here!

 

Looks like Bennet is not ready yet? Some tree debris and snow drifts at the opening of the road.

 

Guessing maybe a few more weeks, if we get some warm weather finally. Lol

 

The way things are going Bennett and badger are august trips this year. Haha

 

Badger and Bonney Meadows are out for another week or so unless you got big big tires and a winch. (I had 33s and a winch.) Tried getting past the first few snow patches. But the patches were about 2’ deep and slushy. My tires would just sink and slip. It was my first time getting the Tacoma stuck. Finally got to use the MaxTrax on my own truck and not someone else’s.

 

Any one interested in Badger Lake Sunday morning, July 3rd?

Planning to meet 2 other vehicles at the Bennet Pass snow park at 8:30am, drive to badger lake, then finish the rest of Bennet Pass rd (if possible).

Expecting some snow, and possibly a few downed trees. Planning to bring a chainsaw, shovels and recovery gear + winch.

 

I'm interested, I should be able to commit by Thursday.

 

I’ll be going to long beech. But please let us know how it is, I’ve been wanting to get up Bennett. Went last year about this time.

 

Badger lake is probably another 2 weeks out. Snow starts a little past the junction with Bonnie Meadows road, and was 2 feet deep in some areas. I had to get pulled out after trying to drive through some snow.
There were quite a few fallen trees on Bennet Pass road. Driving around them made the drive a bit more fun.

 

Looks like an adventure!

 

Howdy y’all, I’m from the Eugene area and looking to meet more taco people for meet ups and do runs with. Here’s my taco

 

Welcome!

 

Thanks for the report. Looks like a good place to gather a load of firewood!
