Overland Bound WA Trip - August 2016

Did anyone pick up my prayer flags (red, yellow, blue, and green) by the lake. I was in a hurry to meet up with 2 other rigs and forgot them. I'd like them back if picked up but, at a minimum, I'd like them to be used. Any help?
 
Memories of epic proportions. Yeh, that's about how I'd sum it up. I just want to post a very quick thank you to Micheal and Corrie and all the OB crew that allowed us to participate on this fantastic weekend's adventure. We made new friends, listened to some great travel stories,saw some fantastic sites, cut our teeth on some very decent trails, found out our little Xterra was far more capable than we had previously thought, and learned a few things along the way from a few of the more experienced folks. All in all it was a weekend made for adventure and built to remember.

And a special shout out and big thank you to Bill and Josh for trying to help me sort out my stuck e-locker issue down at the trailhead. We missed finding you again in Cle Elum but we managed to make it home in the straightest possible route without much added fanfare.

I'm glad you made it home without damaging anything. I hope you get the issue with your locker resolved soon!

It was an amazing weekend. I can't wait for OTG next month!

Glad it worked out and hope your e-locker the best of health.

Hello, This is Neil ( A.k.a. B Wild ) I thought those might be yours so I gave your flags to Mason thinking he could give them to you next month. It was great getting to meet you. I hope your trip home was trouble free! I just signed up today and look forward to being a part of O.B.

Thank you Neil. I really appreciate that. It was great getting to know you too. If you're up for it, we can organize a trip or two and do it again. I know a few places on the Olympic Penisula and I'd love to do some more Cascade trips and East of the Mountains. Let's keep in touch.

It was nice meeting you all, and I certainly had a great time! Much thanks to Michael and Corrie (and crew) for coordinating the whole thing. We really lucked out being able to camp at the lake, and I'd like to think we made the most of it.

Sincerely, Josh #1 (or was I #2, @jdunk ?)

Post Script: Remember the enduring danger of Manbearpig.

"manbearpig".....yeh, thanks for that. The Wife and I cannot stop talking about the manbearpig now.....great. I think we saw one on the way home Sunday. Either that or a stump.

Had to be a manbearpig...

I had a great time too. It was awesome meeting everyone and I still can't get over the fact that the site at the lake was open!
 
I figured it out. I am a manbearpig!!!!!
You all made for a most excellent gathering, thanks so much to all. Fun times with great people!!!!!
I look forward to the next adventure!!!!!

Not sure if it oinks or roars.... Lol
 
That image is going to haunt my dreams for the foreseeable future.

Did anyone get any killer pictures of the trip? I'm starting to look through mine now.
