We're about an hour out or so.
Meeting us at the watering hole next door? Joe and I will likely still be here.
I'll be over in a minute
Well I hope everyone got home (or will get home) safely. It was a great time meeting all of you and I have to say we had an awesome group of guys. I know the trip didnt go exactly like we had planned, but like logan said, "If it went exactly like planned it wouldnt be an adventure." On the way out of town I ran into another guy at the gas station that told me that a guy 3 days before got buried in a new JK Rubicon up by Olive lake and took him 2 days to dig himself out. It was early for the OBDR and we knew it, but I still had a blast and discovered a part of my state that I never knew existed and that I will definitely continue to explore. I am by no means a photographer but these are a couple shots I got. I thought maybe everyone could post of their pics here so we can have some to remember the trip by! Thanks everyone. Can truly say I would do another run with everyone on this trip!
The shot that sums up the whole trip!

Nice! Sounds like you guys had a fun trip. That water crossing looked a little exciting. How did the CVT tents do in the rain?
The CVT's worked awesome. I was a little nervous as we had some pretty serious rain at time. Never got wet at all in side the tent/awning. Although I'm gonna have to set it up here in my driveway and let it dry out for a while.

If anyone posts trip reports as a separate thread on expo or pirate or wherever please link here - I can't wait to read them! Super bummed family stuff got in the way of joining but talking to a few others of recreating your trip in a month or so...
I posted up a trip report here on mud and on overlandbound. Please everyone feel free to add photos and content to the threads as I am not too good with words and I'm definitely not a photographer.

Glad to see you guys made it through ok. Looks like a fun time, and good on you for clearing trail!
I see the cascade concrete was in full effect!
That one shot looks like it should be a CVT advertisement!
Nice job, thanks for sharing!

Just got home, about 3 hours ago. Alex and I checked the weather when we were fueling up in Sumpter to see if there were any dry areas in Oregon or Washington, and we ended up damn near driving home before we found anything. We camped along the Cle Elum river up by Lake Cle Elum, it was a dry, relaxing night.
Thanks for a great trip guys! A bummer that things didn't work out as planned and the weather sucked, but it was a fun adventure! I'd be interested in revisiting this trip down the road.

I want to see the submarine footage!
Nina shot a short clip of you bouncing down into the South fork.
Well, still have to see if someone can recover that data. Got all the other videos from it though.
