Cancelled NW Washington Reoccurring Meet-Up

[Matt Hixson]

There was one last Friday. I'll get back on the ball with this and plan on doing some different things, but my life has been really busy lately. Sorry about that.

No problem. Life's busy. Would just love to meet some other local overlanders and get ideas for all the cool gadgets I don't know I need yet.

Hey everyone, new to the group and excited to know there is a rally point so close to home (sorry to those who drive a ways). Looking forward to the next meet and greet.

Welcome! The next meeting is on the first Friday of October, but I'll be away camping. I'm trying to get some different things going (like meeting in the mountains instead of Mt. Vernon, but that will have to wait until later.

I'd love to, but I'm doing some private camping. Plus, it will be in eastern WA. Brian and I are thinking of doing a bug Rally of sorts at the end of next summer with the region. So that will be something to look forward to.

 

[jim lee]

Eww.. PRIVATE camping is it?

Hey guys, I'm out for this weekend's meet. Feel free to still meet.

What do y'all think about doing a dinner in the mountains? Maybe next month somewhere in the Cascades? Ideas? @jim lee, I know you talked about this last time we met in Burlington.

Cheers!

Is there a meetup this weekend in the Burlington/Mount Vernon area?

I think a dinner in the mountains is a great idea. I like to cook.

I'm will be out of town, but that does not stop y'all from meeting.

 

[Matt Hixson]

[Matt Hixson]

Cool, thanks. So anybody else on this thread planning on going?

 

[jim lee]

Uhh.. its 4:30 now and I'm just seeing this. I don't think I'll be able to make it.

Sorry 'bout that. But, food in the moutains? Sounds fun to me!

Great! I'll plan for the mountains dinner later this month. I've been rather busy with college and home life. Any ideas for places? Baker Lake?

 

[Matt Hixson]

Baker Lake would be a great spot. Anyone else here know of Sauk Campground? Google maps doesn't seem to know about it. It has a very rainforest feeling to it. There is also an unofficial offroading area along the powerline due south of there that is fun to poke around on.

 

[jim lee]

Yeah, I do. But I forgot them name and Julie (My Memory) is currently asleep.

[Gabriel Bozeman]

Maybe Samish Overlook, Park Butte, Blue Lake, or somewhere in the Kimberly-Cumberland Rd.

Sounds fun! Maybe next month? Do you think there will be snow problems?

I don't think there would be snow problems. The tree cover is so thick there it would have to snow a lot for it to make any difference at the campground. Worst case would be that South Skagit Hwy or Concrete-Sauk Valley Rd could be icy/snowy, but even then I think it'd have to be some exceptional weather for that to happen.
