I'm not bringing my fam, but there's no reason to think this wont be family friendly. I'll keep duct tape handy if they get outta line.

If we're all set on doing the trails I mentioned, then i wouldn't advise the popup camper. the 4W695 is a moderate trail mostly because of one significant hill climb; other than that it is fairly modest. The map shows a fire road that gets closer to camp, and I know where the beginning and the end of that road is, but I've never driven it to see if it is actually not washed out or something. I plan to explore this on this trip so i know better. so i would still advise to tent it, if thats ok.

 

Gary, we'll definitely do this again. my bball games will be on Sundays this season, so I can head up with you on a friday, and run the loop on saturday, heading back Sat night.

 

Man, I would go, but I'm on duty Friday and Saturday. Alex, the new Crush looks awesome!! Can't wait to see it in person. You guys should have a great time.

BTW, for those who can't attend, Ronin and I are hitting Evan's on Tuesday.... (just a small hijack)..

 

Looks like Plan A might still be a go....

holy emotional roller coasters, batman!

 

I couldn't do Tillamook at this point, I'm already down in Portland on business and have zero gear with me

 

Thanks Wes ! It's a work in progress

 

So Naches for sure? How late is 'too late' Friday?

 

There is no too late... Come on out !

 

Alex, are you sure you don't want to change this back to TFS? if you're coming back home anyway, driving out to the rocks is about 3 hours, and TFS can't be more than 4.
