The Tri-Cities Clubhouse

[Ceg]

We made it out of Covid lockdown, now its time for climate lockdown. I understand a good numbers of the fires are caused by people being stupid but people are acting like they've never seen a hot dry summer before.

You are right. I have been going to the same places every year and things look the same as normal. A few days of high heat doesn't make a drought. They act as they are saving our public land because of something someone might do. I am not happy losing more rights. This is just another political move to control people.

Friday, I drove through the smoke and right next to the fire in Yakima Canyon on the way to Red’s Fly Shop. Looked intentionally set to me.
I understand that the responders have the same theory.
Road was appropriately closed afterward and I had loop around the north end and over Manastash.
No issues up on the Bumping River or the Little Naches. Happy to had the chance to get out.
Reality is, if more people were responsible and didn’t leave broken glass out, safely enjoyed fires, and were careful on where they drove (no tall combustible vegetation) it would only be the arsonists and lightning causing fires. More or less.

I like it!

I like it!

Thanks Clay! We do too. Need to put on trails soon to get used to it, lots more maneuverable than the truck and has actual 4 wheel drive :) Though the truck did quite well for what it was.

I love it. A new Jeep buddy. Love the color.

Is that a Hard Rock?

And, you seem to be missing a radio antenna...

Here is the 138 photo report of last week's WABDR Section 1 and side trip.

Hard yes, missing antenna yes, about all it’s missing though, pretty loaded.

Overland Bound - Northwest Facebook has complained twice about me posting the links to the photos of our long trip. So I decided to leave the group. That sucks since I just renewed my OB membership.

I share photos to see show what areas look like and hopefully someday some of you will join some of the local events. Please let me know if my photo link offend you and I will stop posting all together.

Who is complaining on the OB Facebook page? That is the whole point of the FB page, to share our pictures and trips… PS, send me your pics so I can try and get them up on the OB Instagram page for you…

First an admin on Overland Bound - Northwest Facebook told me to only post twice a day since I had add a lot of post of the trip we were on. He said it looked as I was spamming. I said ok and did as he ask, 2 post a day. Then today I got another complaint by someone there telling me that I should just post a link to my group instead of posting everyday. So I posted stating due to complaints I would not post there anymore and gave a link to our Facebook page if anyone wanted to see the rest of the photos. Then that person accused me of only posted my links and not interacting with anyone else's post which is not true. Maybe if others would post something there, I would have been able to interact more than I did.

I posted links to my Facebook where each part of the trip had a few photos. It was easier the reposting on the group I am on. Then as I wrote full reports on my website with over 100 photos on most, I shared two links a day as I was told.

Thank you for the help but I don't need to share with facebook people that don't want to see the trip photos. The question is do people on this page want to see the links to the photos? I don't have time to post all of them one at a time. If not, I will not post. No hard feeling either way.

I like the links and I think what you're posting is really helpful. All over this site you see people asking for recommendations on where to go and you're posting trip reports almost weekly of places to go. Maybe they don't like that you link another site instead of putting the original post here but that's just more work if you've already put it together on another forum or fb page. And I don't see it as any different than people promoting their Instagram or YouTube on here. I've always known you've had the other forum going but I've never felt you were on here just to promote it or pull users away from Overland Bound. You're club is very active so you have a lot of things to post about, maybe they're just jealous that you're actually out doing the stuff that they're just online talking about...

Most of the other facebook groups reply with questions about how to get there, if the need a lift to do the trip, what passes they need, and so on. I write back to each and everyone of them to help them. I post photos on my site to not slow down others. I share many places on-line and this is the easiest way I know. If you look around on my forum you can see not many come there to post. Only to get the free info which it is there for.

Thanks for your support!

I can't speak for the Facebook crowd, but at least in our local group I would be willing to risk saying we enjoy the links, as validated above by others comments. Don't let a few ruin the day, just avoid the negative people and hang out here with us.

I will get to the bottom of this… because this is NOT acceptable.

@Ceg keep the posts coming… blow up this thread… as for OB-NW Facebook, I have contacted the administrator and we are working out a solution. There is only one administrator for FB. Any one that is acting as an administrator that isn’t the actual administrator doesn’t have the authority…I am giving the administrator an opportunity to fix his error.

I have no clue if the post are there anymore since I left the group. I will not be coming back. Maybe you can help this from happening to someone else that shares a lot of photos.

That’s exactly what I’m doing.
