Coming home from Canon Beach tonight some dumba$$ teenager backed into my trailer while I was pumping gas. He damaged the rear of one side and destroyed the lifting mechanism, I'm not sure about camping for me this weekend I may just drive over early Thursday AM...

 

[OlympiaFJ60]

Ahw, come on. Nothing like a good night camping with the guys to make you forget all your troubles

So, I will be heading over Wednesday late morning/early afternoon. I guess I will be heading up the 1900 road along the little naches looking for Chris. I was thinking of taking the forest service roads from Easton on I-90 over to the 1900 road and coming out along the little naches.

olympiaFJ60, we are planning on leaving around 1-2 pm, we can drive over there together if you like. I like the idea of taking some fs roads instead of driving I90

 

[OlympiaFJ60]

I have to take Farron to my in-laws in the morning, then was going to head out from there.

Another scenic way (and faster than I-90) is to take Hwy 410 through Enumclaw, over Mt Rainier, to Wistlin' Jacks. That should be about 2 1/2 - 3 hrs from Olympia. The way I was thinking will be closer to 5 hrs. If I end up getting a later start, I will call you and we can meet up in Enumclaw, then drive 410, find a place to camp and explore the area up the 1900 road.

so what happens if you dont have everything on the list.

 

[OlyWaFJ]

What are you missing? We'll be in a group so if you are just missing a few small items we can probably work with you.

 

[OlympiaFJ60]

So, does the 70 road meet up with the 1900 (one bad map I have shows it)? Or do you have to take the Naches trail to connect?


Ben, I will give you a call in a little bit. I'm sure we can come up with enough stuff for this to work out. Would you just head over in the morning or come over tonight? If you drive over tonight and aren't too late, I can have a nice hot piece of meat for you (stake that is). Once I find out were I will be camping, I can make it to cell range and give you a call (that goes for any one else heading over late just PM me your number).

 

[OlyWaFJ]

I'll be on CB Channel 4 for those that care.
