Good luck, be sure to let us now how it is. I'm hoping to be able to get back out there in my car soon. so I would like to know if its melting

not a problem, i imagine someone has been there already, so there should be some ruts in the snow... here in town we have about a foot accumulated since the snow started, i imagine there will be more up there

well, heres a few pics of memaloose, as well as the road going to fish creek. i didnt make it to the pit at memaloose, as my tires were sliding going up hill, so i turned around at the turnout before the guardrail...
here is hwy 224 outside estacada...
and crossing over memaloose bridge...

further up memaloose...

There is no such thing a bad weather - just bad clothes!

Tell that to the unfortunate souls with arthritis.
I'm thankful that I don't have that burden.

I just ventured up to larch mountain today and the snow was still all over the place. I found a good place to stop and shoot- freezing my nads off. The wife came with me and shot my Ruger Mark III (I think she has taken ownership of that one).

It is never too cold or wet to go shooting. People need to train in all conditions. Whether you are in combat, hunting, or using in a survival situation it is good to be trained well enough that you can use your weapon in any condition.

We didn't stay for a long time (I would've stayed longer but my wife was a popsicle) but it was nice after so many snow/rain days to get out and shoot! It was pretty nice up there at Larch mountain- but I wouldn't reccommend the drive if you don't have a good offroad vehicle right now (it is a rough trail and quite slippery)

has anyone been up to memaloose since the last post on here?

Was at the Tacoma Rifle and Revolver club yesterday...

After 30 rounds my usual 1" groups were 3" at 100 yards so I decided I'd wasted enough ammo for the cause of being a cold-weather sport and called it a day.

It was good to keep in practice but am looking forward to this Saturday which is predicted to be much warmer and maybe not raining!
