More of the L.T. Murray
November 15, 2008
We haven’t seen all of the L.T. Murray Wildlife Recreation Area yet. This time we will pick up where we left off on our last trek, at the north end of the preserve. There are several unimproved roads we have not driven, some narrow and brushy and all requiring the high ground clearance of SUV’s or 4x4 pickups.
Depending upon weather conditions we will enter either through the Wenatchee National Forest near Skull Springs or from the Thorp Prairie to the east. I doubt there will be much snow, but in case there is we will go as far as our vehicles will allow and treat the trip as a snow run. A little white stuff isn’t going to stop us! Bring your kids, sleds (just in case), plenty of bottled water and a tailgate lunch.
Meet at the Sunset Café (509-674-2241), 318 E 1st in Cle Elum, Washington. Come early for breakfast and plan to leave at 9:30 AM. Look for our vehicles with Backroad Drivers Northwest window stickers and we will monitor channel 22 on the CB radio.
