[moose1]

sound good lets see what eveyrone else thinks before we 100% it.

 

[Diff Whack Daddy]

I am still going. I am bringing the camper that has a fridge Did I also mention it has a hot water heater too, and carries 40 gallons of fresh water I can also bring one of those huge ass 140 qt or so coolers if anyone wants to use that. I will be bringing one or two of the rugrats with me, no wife.

moose1, I will probably get off around noon on Friday and will then head home to switch to the other truck which will be loaded and ready to go. I will PM you with a contact number.

Thats cool, if you want i can meet you at the base and follow you, the only thing is the traffice were going to hit the way there. with a three hour drive that puts us right in it.

96explorer is that going to work for a later meet up time, the more of us who meet at once the better.

no problem, esp. if he'll be towing a trailer make sure to plan extra time on the road

Not really, we leave my place by 1 pm or so, that rolls us down the 405 by 3 to 4. On a Friday though, traffic starts at noon and your screwed no matter what. Oh well, traffic or not, I'm goin'

That's why you caravan when yu have a trailer. It is great to have a traffic blocker when you want to switch lane.

For a short trip like this the trailer won't slow me down. It's the 1200 mile trips that I add an extra travel day for.

What kinda trailer do you have? What are the specs? I'd actually consider taking ocer my parents 20' Nash, but my X is only rated to tow up to 2500lbs.

 

[Diff Whack Daddy]

The trailer is 20ft flatbed that the explorer rides on. The camper sits on the back of the F-350. It's a 850 Eagle Cap with a slide out.

You should roll pretty well until you get to SR-520 then it will slow considerably until you get past Issaquah on I-90.

So i guess well be doing some night weeling on friday. Whats the cost to rent the campsite??? just checking just in case.

Friday night is for setting up camp and

I suppose we can do a night run before I crack one open though

 

[moose1]

I wont be craking anything moose man doesnt drink, but i will crack open a water.

 

[96ExplorerXL4x4]

So, I just want to clarify, these trails arn't very hard, right. What would be the chances of my X gettingg stuck? Slim to none?

And it's just kinda a show up and camp place, no reservations needed?

 

[moose1]

It seems from what alb. said its dry so i dont think we have to worry about getting stuc. pm sent.

Slim to none, correct
At worst, a stocker might drag the frame rails a little and there might be a little dragging of front and/or rear bumpers/tow hitch on some of teh water crossings. The approach and departures were a little steep.

No worries, we will have plenty of straps and winches in case someone needs a little assistance :roll:

This trail head is not a developed camp ground, first come, first served, gets the best spot

 

[moose1]

:roll: i hope not. Im thinking it would be best to get there early to get a good spot, probaly like 11 or so hu.

 

[Albino 94LTD]

:roll: Did you notice :roll: it's RED? :roll: Who has a :roll: RED X? :roll:

The off camber stuff WILL wad up your undies though

Hard to say about the camp spot. The BEST one is up the trail 1/2 mile but Kevin will never get his F350 up there so we'll hang out down at the trail head and charge admission to anyone trying to pass

Right now I plan on going over in the morning, staking out spots, then doing some fly fishing while waiting for yous guys

 

[moose1]

I'm going to stick with following kev, so its easier if he need to cross traffic and such.

 

[96ExplorerXL4x4]

I can wait for Kevin in North Bend to convoy over. I'm in no rush...
