Cle Elum Meet Sept. 9-10 NOW W/ PICS!

Well, looks like they have some light duty trails over there and some AWSOME landscape! Camping is nearby and I'm always up for that. I think I'll drive over Sept 8th with my boat and see if I can squeeze in some fishing, or just some boating Does anyone have a phone # or website I should visit to make reservations? Who else is up for this?!

No reservations needed, just find a wide spot on the 301.

Forget the boat. by that time they will have drawn down the lake for irrigation. I don't hink you'll be able to launch.

If you want to fish, bring waders and wade the Yakima. Of coures I suggest using a fly vs a lure. Just ask Dreamr

Reservations Lol

Sorry if I came across a bit grumpy in my PM this morning 96X
I was a bit tired..

So let's realistically start planning.

Phil you are my sounding board as I think we are the only ones that know the lay of the land. That weekend should work for me....

So Phil pretend we are driving down the road and right after the bridge that indicates we are almost to the 301 entrance there is a big wide area that has 3-4 rustic sites.....think it'll accomodate enough vehicles? If Not Shiloh and I found another much bigger but it is up at the start of that oddly named "T" Lake that I can't seem to think of the name for. I know that there are sites over there that will accomodate several vehicles.

Camping on the 301 is nice as it gets us back off the beaten path, but there is not a lot of area at our spot.......Gallagher Head will be DAMN cold at night so that is out.......Thinking down by the river will be best for the base camps.

1st morning we can lead a group up to Gallagher

2nd morning we can lead a group up to the Van Epps Mine

If any big dogs come They can go explore the 305 for me :roll:

 

[Albino 94LTD]

Yeah, there is lots of spaces available at the beginning of the 301. On the 301, remember there was room on the 'island' too. We had 3 of us out there.

If we have enough people we could split runs with one group doing 301 then 302 and the other group does 302 then 301.

I have to say I'm still a bit squeemish about the off camber stuff. There's NOTHING to stop you but I doubt we're anywhere near roll point.

So I guess it all depends on who ends up coming. we should have a winch with each group, especially if we try to get here

What is this "301" "305" stuff? Different trails?

AH! That gives me a good idea of what were are looking at! HM...

 

[dreamr]

Yeah I did not like the off camber stuff there at the last piece of the 301 or the 304.

I think Shiloh is still a bit crippled by that ride
She teases when the truck is laying over to "smell the flowers"
Yet she about pukes when she found herself laying over looking down 1500 feet of sheer rockslide

 

[96ExplorerXL4x4]

So, when does everyone want to go over? Caravan over? Meet in North Bend or something? :thumbdwn:

 

[Albino 94LTD]

Ok, well, I'd be game to do that. Don't really know how I'd get more than one spot. Can only park in so much area...

 

[Albino 94LTD]

We got time, we'll figure it out. we set up a couple tents even thoug no one is in them.

I'll probably be going over Friday but it is still a long way off to make difinitive plans.
