Cancelled NW Washington Reoccurring Meet-Up

[Gabriel Bozeman]

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.

Awesome!

Bring dinner and be ready to chat and watch the beautiful (if it's clear) sunset. Hope to see some of y'all out there!

Cheers!

Hmm.. Looks interesting. Is there anywhere to have a fire? Doesn't look like it from what I'm seeing here.

Unsure. Maybe charcoal?

Ok next time read allll of the forum before asking dumb questions

 

[Drannan Tidwell]

How long do you think you'll be up there? I work in Bellevue and get off at 4.

If I make it I'll bring my propane fire pit.

Not too long. Maybe leave at 5:30 or 6.

 

[Drannan Tidwell]

Ok, probably won't make it in time will have to plan ahead for Dec

Hi Gabe, it was nice to meet you and Chris yesterday. Sorry I couldn't hang out longer, but I'm looking forward to future get togethers.

What was the name of the road you mentioned that had a good camping spot?

Here's Sauk Park campground. This would be a good location because just to the south is a powerline road area that has some places to go wheeling.

The Sauk Park area has lots of great places to explore, should make the next meet up an overnight...just sayin

It was a pleasure to meet you as well!

Finney-Cumberland Rd is the road I was talking about. Sauk Campground is on my list. Thanks!

It's definitely on my radar. Hopefully my schedule will allow.

Ah, okay, that is the western entrance to the logging roads that I normally go up into from the eastern side at Finney Creek Rd. Years ago there was a pretty big washout of Finney-Cumberland and there were road closed signs, but people were squeaking around it anyway. Not sure if that's been fixed or not. Just now poking around on Google Maps with satellite imagery, I think the spot was right here and it looks like it might have been repaired with concrete so that the water flows over the roadway.

 

[Drannan Tidwell]

There are numerous roads, trails, and places to camp all over that area. A couple of which would make good meet up points for a Saturday.

 

[J Peters]

Double checking. Is this still a thing? I'm trying to do some Overlanding at least once a month with my wife

 

[Hags]

Great to finally connect with some of you. Some of the sunset from that night, on the overlook.

 

[Drannan Tidwell]

Thanks....now I'm even more bummed I missed out.

Yes! We met last Friday for dinner and sunset at Samish Overlook. Hopefully we will be able to do a weekend trip next month.
