Maybe this will get everyone's attention. I just picked up this 1976 FJ40 off a buddy of mine. I once owned a 1979 FJ40 in high school and have been wanting another for 30 years.

Greetings from the Cabin, I’m writing to share some updates and to request your help to join the all-volunteer, non-profit, Oregon Nordic Club, for our summer Cabin Maintenance Work Party.

How you can help: The Work Party is set for August 15 & 16, 2020. We will need 10 volunteers each day for full day shifts (9am to 4pm). No special skills are needed, just a willingness to come out and help. All volunteers will earn a free weekend stay at the A-Frame on a winter club/volunteer weekend. While the bulk of the work will be outside, please bring your masks for any interior projects. Click here to sign up. When: Aug 15 and 16 Time: 9am-4pm Where: Meet at the TJ Guard Station, free parking is available at the TJ Campground. The road is open!

Getting a group together for this would be awesome. I’ve done it and stayed overnight. It’s a great time.

Anybody interested in this event this weekend, great time in the woods. @boots4 @cheeese @CreeperSleeper @JHE4601 @Paco @Rustic76 ... others???

It sounds fun, but I am taking my daughter camping. She is stoked for some time just the two of us.

Awesome
My son wants to go backpacking badly before end of summer.

 

[Paco]

Sounds like fun! Unfortunately I am already booked on another project this weekend.

 

[cheeese]

Same, we're doing a quick run up the coast to Willapa Bay to dig some oysters. Fingers crossed for good hunting and no vibro!

 

[JHE4601]

We are already booked as well. Thanks for the invite man!!

 

[Hojack]

Thanks for the reply’s fellas. It would be great to get this group more actively involved with each other. I’ve meet several of you and looking forward to meet others and explore this awesome area we live.
I’m thinking next year planning a trip to the Elkhorn Mountains outside Baker City. I elk and deer hunted this area 20 years and know a lot of hidden gems. It abounds with old mining 4WD roads that lead up the Elkhorn Mountains to above 8,000’. Its rich with mining history. Sumpter has an old gold dredge and the Sumpter Valley Railroad. A lot of fun stuff for the family too. Lookout towers. My dad has a time capsule up near the top of Elkhorn Peak I’d love to find and hide another with my kids.

 

[Hojack]

I’d like to get a meeting together to plan a Elkhorn Mtn trip next summer. It’s high country with a lot of gold mining history. Aside from the Eagle Caps, the closest resemblance to Colorado you can get. Here’s some pictures I took of the area. We hunted deer and elk up there since I was a young kid.

Many 4WD roads get you above 8,000’ and end at the High Trail that traverses the entire range.

 

[Gfunk00]

That sounds fun.

 

[Hojack]

That sounds fun.

I’d like to plan a trip next year.

I’d like to plan a trip next year.

Jason, I suggest starting a new thread with the trip plan in title and we can get the details set up in there instead of them getting lost in this chat thread. This sounds like a great trip.

PNW Campouts... get out of that cubicle & have an adventure!!! Trip planning thread.

Local Cascade Cruisers Really have been enjoying meeting up with the locals recently. The Christmas Tree Run was great. Really enjoyed meeting some of you and enjoying tasty food. We had a snow wheeling trip last Saturday up the Clackamas which was a blast. @boots4, @Paco, @Kentucky Pete and I...

forum.ih8mud.com

Moved here and no interest???

 

[boots4]

I would start a new thread just for this trip and title it by the trip's name to plan it there rather than putting this in any other thread. That way those of us that want to go and plan can go back to that specific thread and contribute.

 

[Hojack]

Anybody else thinking of resealing their rain gutters? It be great to get together and have a seal sealer get together party.

Can we schedule a time to get together Cascade Cruisers?
