US Northwest April - South Sound Meetup

[A.A.Ron]

Join us for Brunch & A Bonfire

I’ll be at the Enumclaw Safeway @ 8:30 Sunday morning.

Planning to see if we can make it to Lonesome Lake, but we’ll play it by ear depending on snow.

Hoping to find a spot to have a campfire and cook some brunch.

Where are you thinking about having the meetup location?

I should read messages in order. If I had, I'd know that the answer was TBD Greenwater.

LOL
We all do that sometimes.. No worries.

I have a couple ideas and will put out an invite to do some evening scouting runs.

 

[A.A.Ron]

I'm tentatively planning to go scout some areas this weekend. Reach out if you're interested in an exploratory trail run in the Greenwater area. I have to finish my fender-liner project tonight, but I should be able to go either Saturday or Sunday.

@a12houk curious where the snow level is up in Greenwater. Wanted to go explore up there this weekend but not a fan or rather I haven't played too much in the snow. I have all the recovery gear which includes a winch and boards.

I am would like to tentatively RSVP for this camping trip :-)

Last weekend the snow was pretty low, and extremely wet & heavy. I was by myself, still having some tire rubbing, and didn't really feel like airing down. So I didn't push at all. Right now isn't the time of year I enjoy snow.

Thank you for the info.
I think we decided to go to Elbe and run Scott Turner Road and maybe go over to Gifford. Not sure.
I am not a fan of snow - only because I haven't really played in it other then commuting to work when required. And I am typically running solo and don't want to push it either.
Hopefully it will be great for camping in April! So ecstatic to get the season going!! Ready for the Mountains!

I just posted in a different forum, but I don’t have time to pre scout a location.

How about if we meet at the Enumclaw Safeway and see what we find?

Could be awesome, could be a dud.

 

[Mark F.]

Anyone meeting up to camp Saturday night?

 

[A.A.Ron]

I can’t do the camp. Have to work my side hustle on Saturday.

I’ll be there Sunday with a couple interesting ideas in mind.

I pushed the time back just a smidge.

 

[FJRebelGirl]

I sadly will not be able to join this week. Covering vacations at work Hopefully next time! Have fun and be safe.

 

[Altaholic]

I'll be there. Can't make Saturday night, this time.

 

[Happy Buddha]

My son is redeploying back to Whidbey today and has asked to spend time with the family this weekend. All that to say that I am now unable to join up on Sunday. Have fun.

Do you have a GPX file of the area you're thinking of? I know you pushed one out a few months ago but I can't find the old thread.

 

[A.Desert.Creature]

My son is down in AZ at the moment but I will be at the Safeway in the morning.
Looking forward to seeing everyone.

Is there a designated corner of the parking lot to meet near?

Near the gas station
I’ll be in a gray Tacoma. Bed rails, but no tent.

Not immediately available.
We’ll chat in the morning and see what everybody is in the mood for.

We’ll get into snow pretty quickly.

 

[Altaholic]

Well, good day today. Snow got a little deep for me pretty quick and I appreciate the willingness to explore some of the lower elevations. Looking forward to next month. Thanks for having me along!

 

[A.Desert.Creature]

Had a blast. Looking forward to next month.
