I'm planning to check out an OB1 posted camp site located @ 47.30823, -120.56514
If it's good, that's where we'll be on the evening of the 10th. If not, we'll keep looking.
I have your number. I'll get you my Garmin contact so you can verify from Cle Elum.
 
Maybe, just maybe. Would love to make it but we are in the middle of selling a house and between that, work and family I am booked solid.

Hey everybody...
I had to shave a couple days off the front of this trip. I went for a hike and bit off way more than I could chew. My knees are a bit sore and I need some recovery time. I should be good to go by the 9th.

Also, I'm hoping to do a little bit of fishing in that Cooper road area. So if you're wanting to meet up on those first two days, bring your fishing gear!

Added "unofficial" Rally Point

Wednesday, August 10th @ 5:00 pm

I-90 just off exit 62 @ 47.30868, -121.31313

From there we'll head up Stampede Pass and find a great campsite.
Running Naches Trail Thursday!
 
How long will you be out there? Was planning on doing Stampede Pass this weekend with a buddy but I had a run-in with the stomach flu thing going around. We are tentatively planning on heading that way next weekend. Maybe we could meet up if all y'all are still running around out there?
