Thanks for the update
The Salem Jeepers had a night run planned for last Saturday, so we had to cancel. I didn't have my gear ready for camping, so I missed out on the PNWJeep meet & greet in Naches as well.
Thanks for the update, Bob. I may try to make to TSF this weekend and Virtue the next, so it's not like I am going through withdrawals or anything....

I am going to try and leave Rogers Camp around 10AM. With any luck, I'll be at the cafe near the Shell Station (Gales Creek?) about 8:30 for breakfast. The plan is to try and figure out how to use my iPad as a GPS and mark trails for later reference. I'll have my CB set to channel 4.
Its been too long.
