It will be nice out on Saturday.

How far from Vancouver?

 

[HighlandLofts]

From Vancouver Wa it is about 200 miles, exit 208 off of I-5 then another 35 miles to the pit.
We will be camping close to the shooting pit tomorrow night.

Scuffy picked up the 7xX14' dump trailer yesterday on his way home from work. I picked up the 6'X10' dump trailer on my way home from work today.
Today the DNR put a combo lock on the gate to the big pit on the Suaittle River Road so we can drive in to the pit with the tractor with a front loader and the pickup trucks with the dump trailers and other trucks that will be hailing out trash.
I will post more tomorrow when I get up to Darrington.

Front loader? You guys are serious. Unfortunately can't make the drive and oldest has her final softball game of the season tomorrow, but look forward to seeing the pics. Have fun camping.

Darrington- here we come.

 

[Caveman Jim]

We're here and ready to hit it in the AM!!! Good seeing some familiar faces meeting a few new ones.
Mrs. Caveman doesn't camp anymore, this is the view of this magnificent place on our back deck.

Probably good choice it supposed to start raining tonight.

 

[EPS]

I just got home a little bit ago.
Got stuff packed up for tomorrow.
Bringing a few toys to play with after we clean up.

 

[Dr Prepper]

Hope you guys have a decent trip up there today!
I unfortunately cannot make it. My license is now expired, i didn't realize it would take so long and have to schedule and apt that's almost a month long wait to get into the DOL.
I really wish i could be there.
Hopefully someone else will see this thread and lend a hand if i help highlight it..

 

[EPS]

Good turn out the weather WAS NOT ON OUR SIDE.

 

[EPS]

It was work but we got a lot done.

 

[Cogs]

I got home at 6:30 (a 5 hr trip!). Was really good, what we did there. Yeah the rain was a drag, but geez, the difference we made!

I was able to download a couple pics, but the majority will have to wait till after a shower, beer, sleep and a few home chores. Then I'll post up a story about it.

For now, almost 30 people showed up! Some logistics, and a blown tire on one of the trailers, messed a couple things up, but those Darrington people just roll with the flow! It was so nice to meet the folks who came. I'm doing that again sometime!
