Yes.

If I can get out of here by 4:00pm, I should be by there around 7:30 - 8:00 depending on traffic. If the weather is really bad it could be later.

Kevin is thinking about pulling Logan out of school early to get a head start on traffic.

Rick has decided not to go. Something about pick-n-pull and needing parts.

I Plan On Leaving As Soon As I Am Ready Thursday It May Be 5 But It Might By A Lot Latter.

 

[jrgaylor]

I am not sure what time I will get out of work Thursday so I may be late arriving late Thursday or maybe even early Friday morning

Starting to think about leaving here Friday morning by 7.

Not liking the idea of evening commute traffic, towing a trailer in a downpour.

Guys back ? ?

Yes. The drive home was a lot better than the drive there through torrential downpours and lightning strikes.

Carnage ? ?

Yes, mostly glass.
KennyRay - right rear glass
Joe - passenger door smashed more and glass broken
Me - 2 poorly placed backup lights and a rock pulled a valve stem out (Joe has a good video of it). Somehow my steering got tweaked. The wheel is about 15* left when going straight but I can see anything bent. Will have to look real close before I re-align.

Trail Report ? ?

Lots of short sections, some with significant obstacles in them.

The good thing about that is, you're never far from a road in case something breaks. The bad thing, lots of driving to get to the longer trails with lots of sections.

Cedar Way is the longest continuous trail and a lot like Tahuya.

Firebreak 5 is a fairly long one and a bit tougher (especially wet). There was active logging in the area so we had to turn around one one section. There are a couple sections a lot like Yellowjacket at Tahuya.

Trail #28 on the map ( I forget the name) is the longest but has the most short sections and ends about 50 minutes of road driving from Browns Camp.

This one has at least 3 double black diamond spots that were a lot harder smeared with peanut butter.

You can run pretty much every 4x4 trail in 2 full days.

There is a lot more available for bikes and quads

Pictures ? ?

Mostly videos of some of the tough sections. Working on it.

Cool... thanks for the update. Sorry to hear about the damage, you all know how I feel about that!

Too much "stuff" going on for me, but at the risk of a shameless thread hijack, here's one of the reasons I wasn't there. . .

Josh's handiwork. . .

Uh oh, those lead to body damage due to the implied confidence of human safety they provide.

 

[JohnKe]

That looks great Paul!
