    While at Browns Camp in Oregon, we talked about some dates for late season runs and Sept 28th came up as did Oct 12th.

    The last time we were at Naches in the late season (early November) the temps got well below freezing overnight so I'm hoping it won't be so cold in early Oct.

    Chime in guys;
    Ricky - in
    Joe
    John K
    Kevin - left foot in
    Paul - right foot in
    Phil - shaking it all about

    Yep, turnabout is deffinately fair play. But seriously, I am all in for a Naches trip. Time to find a secondary water tank. I think I will only bring Logans quad this time so he can ride arround camp since I don't think there are any pit riding rules.

    Friday is a no school day for Travis so I'm thinking of asking for Friday off and head over in the morning.

    Not sure if the lava cave will be open or not but I know he wants to go back there.

    Travis has no school on the 11th so I asked for that day off.

    We'll be heading over around 9am Friday.

    Do you guys have a preference between Crow Creek or up the road spot where we first camped with Ben, Forest, Chris, Joe, Kevin, Rick etc??

    It will be a day trip for me.
    Looks like they got 6 to 8" of snow at the top of quartz mountain.

    Josh does some awesome work, but this will keep the TTB under the front end for another few years. . .

    Hopefully will be available for the next run, have fun.

    Not gonna happen

    I don't think this run is going to happen.

    Trail reports from last weekend say it's a sloppy mess. Only 1 of the NW Wheeler rigs made it up Aardvark Hill, the others had to drive up the road to Lilly Pond and the top was real soupy.

    Add to that low temps below freezing in the mornings, and low turnout, it might be best to save the money for another day.
