Memaloose Conditions

[odin9]

road was clear up to the pit day before yesterday

 

[Garg]

The road (6.8 miles) up from the Big green bridge, Clackamas hwy, has been open all season. It appears you can get to the other pit from that road, as I see vehicles going past the first main pit all day.

8 miles from the Hillockburn road side (after the main road turns to gravel) there is a gate that was closed this Saturday around 11:30. I'm not sure if there is a way around it on the back fire/logging roads. It messed up my plans to cut through though. No one was at the upper pit though. a very pleasant, relaxed morning with the .22s

So wait, when you go up there, there's the first big pit, and up the road a second smaller pit.

I've never driven up the gravel road between them, what's up that?

 

[djgaloot]

There is another one further up

Just past the big pit the road forks. There's a smaller spot about a half mile to the right. I've also shot at a small spot about a mile and a half to the left road.

Anyone been up lately? I'm moving back to town & was thinking about going in a couple weeks...

Totally clear as of 2 days ago. No precip since then. it does get a little frosty in some patches but it is completely passable in a car. no 4wd needed.

Went by today while hunting for the elusive Christmas tree. Lots of shooters. No real snow. A bit on the road further up but mostly clear.

I went up yesterday and road had minimal snow. We made it up in my GFs front wheel drive Mitsubishi Lancer with ease.

 

[matthew029]

anyone been up there this week? how's it look?

 

[df662]

I was up there today dumping some rounds with my hk mp5 & hk33k. No snow whatsoever, beautiful day, a few shooters up there.

Condition check! Planning on heading up on Weds in a non 4x4. Is it still clear?

 

[foomanchu]

We made it up no problem today in a Civic

 

[T28turbos]

[thewhitebuffalo83]

This thread is awesome. I just wish I had time to go up.

 

[ripcity]

I also would like to know the conditions. Might head up within the next few days.

 

[Bigfoot]

You won't have any problem. I went up Tuesday and the snow wasn't bad, there was much less snow on the way down after the sun had hit it for a couple hours. It was nice up there. I did some good shooting with the new 2lb triggers and no wind.

Drive slow during the pavement transitions and washboard gravel. I hit one just right at 30 MPH and knocked the battery out of it's tray. I didn't know it until I got up there and tried to restart the truck, not even a click and no cell phone signal. Oh bubblegume. Battery was fine it just broke a small wire loose. That would have been a long cold walk.

 

[bballer182]

Don't bother going out there now. The road is closed at the bridge. Chain and sign at the entrance to the bridge. Don't know why no sign saying why.

anyone going up from the hillockburn side?
