We'll have to keep an eye on the fires (Wenatchee National Forest - Current Conditions) next week to make sure that the campgrounds and trails are accessible.
Hey Brandon! Working off the Sept 06 Yakima Co. Recreation Guide map.
Run the 696 trail, entrance is in Nile starting at the 1600 line cutting through Sawmill Flats, I'm thinking we will hit that and start at the beginning off of 696 at 1601. 696 travels the ridge of the Wilderness area until we connect with 665 which will then connect to 697 and back to 1600 and 410. Not sure how long it will take us but if it ends up being a quick run we can then head north to 676 connect to 617 at the Lilly Pond Lake to 590 then back down to 410 through 1708.
What were your thoughts?

We could always run the 696 from 1601 to 1611 and judging by the trail there decide if we want to continue on to the end at the 1600. We'll get some good views of the fires in the William O' Douglas, just south of Bumping Lake.
For the 676, it is listed as most difficult. Here is a description Kaner Flats Trail. There are lots of trails in that area though and they are close to camp.

Was great seeing you guys this weekend. Thanks for a great time.
Don't worry Brian, maybe next time I'll have a locker...

Dusty day...
And to finish up, a picture of Watermelon the Wonder Dog!!

Will, mind if I barrow a few of those? I may try and get the original from you too. Nice shooting.
Sure Brandon. Use what you want, just don't claim them as your own, haha. You're welcome to original files too. Cheers.
Nice pics guys!
My pics from that weekend can be found here. We ran the 676 trail.

What did you think of it? How long did it take you guys to run it?
It was a great run. We started from Crow Creek and ran all the way to the ridge line then back down in about 8 hours. We had a couple of spots that were pretty tight but I really like that trail. That was my second time in a few weeks that I have run it.

Sounds like fun and if you can get through in that wide bodied FJC then the FJ60 should be a breeze 
. Probably like all the other trails there, completely different beast after some rain?
