Attention Seattle Area Folks: 11/3/2013

[A.Wilson013]

I am aware that this is posted in the wrong area, but no one checks those dang regional forums.

Anyway.


[MENTION=82154]GSPRunner[/MENTION] and I will be meeting Here at 10:00 AM on Sunday the 3rd.

We will be continuing up into the mountains for a little fun, hopefully in some snow. The limit of advance (LOA) is this location HERE which provides an incredible view of Mt. Rainier. However, if it's indeed snowy, that will be a very dangerous destination, and I would recommend an LOA of HERE.

Time permitting, I would really like to try and make it to this lake HERE. When I was out there a few weeks ago it looked interesting, and I imagine would make some GREAT pictures for the first snow.

Terrain is managable by a stock 4Runner/Tacoma (probably even in 2wd) weather permitting. Surface condition is a fairly well maintained forest service road (FSR). Chance of pin-striping is nil, unless you go off the FSR in one of the few spots where you can test out your suspension a bit. I cannot speak for the road going to the little lake as I have never been.

Sorry for the short notice. =)

Damn, if only there was a few day more notice... Next time, with a wee bit more notice.

Understandable. There is some chatter on Tacomaworld about heading out on the 9th... Check out this thread.

EVERYONE ELSE

Here's the forecast for SNOW. Come on.

Think there will be a thanksgiving run? Driving home for the weekend and have been wanting to get out there but reluctant to go by myself. Granted that part may be snowy so if there are other trails being considered I'd be interested. Use it as a way to avoid malls and suburban areas at all cost on black Friday weekend.
