x2. I'm in. the 4runner better be running by then. lol

stormin94 · 04-11-2008, 11:59 PM

I would consider it in a second if it were anywhere near me, or if gas prices suddenly dropped below $2.50/gallon.

Also, if I had an excuse to be in the Northwest for any other reason around that time.

**DeathCougar** · 04-12-2008, 10:09 AM

Sounds like a good time....where is GreenWater?

Im wondering if I should bring my Crawler or just my DD?

***Corey*** · 04-12-2008, 12:29 PM

Just got back getting some pics which I will upload later to this thread.
I do not consider the pics a trail run, only checking out the area.

Did not go up to far, there is a lot of snow after a few miles up 70.

I do have the NAV points for where I took some pics, and there is quite a bit of camping in there, but it is not near the river, that is across the road.

More exploring later when the snow goes away.

7013 FS Road, right side of 70 going up.
W LON 121 degrees 35' 10.9"
N LAT 47 degrees 7' 0.0"

That is from my Pioneer head unit, it lets me bookmark the location too so I can call it up and it will get me there again via voice commands.

***Corey*** · 04-12-2008, 03:17 PM

Here are a few pictures from today.
The forest circus told me yesterday though that as soon as you turn off of 410 onto 70 you hit three feet of snow.
Bologna!

There is snow, but it is further up, and it does get quite deep.
Several full size truck with trailers were towing up snow mobiles higher up to play today.

**Tofer** · 04-13-2008, 04:56 PM

sounds good. i was able to find it on google. does this look about right corey? http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=e...,0.058537&z=14

Josh: i doubt you'd need the serious wheeler unless you want to bring it. i think this is more sit around the fire, BSing then hard core wheelin type of trip. its up to you. we;ll see, my wheeler should be done by then I hope.

***Corey*** · 04-13-2008, 05:06 PM

Chris, that is it.
Hey, I did not know Google could do all of that.

One thing though, that other gated road about 1/2 mile back on the left side of the road by the river when going up is not listed on the map.

That is a popular site as it holds many motorhomes, but they have boulders blocking both entrances to it.

That is the first time I have gone up 7013, and it is only a few miles up off of the highway.
Will have to explore it for sure when the trail is clear of snow.

If I had any camping gear with me and my down comforter, I would have been tempted to spend the night up there yesternight.

**Tofer** · 04-13-2008, 05:21 PM

sweet. my only vote is that we dont go the first weeeknd of june. i have camping plans that weekend in portland.

ocdropzone · 04-13-2008, 05:25 PM

I have got a couple of random weekends scheduled off this summer (work weekends

for Intel) so maybe one would work out. Looks like only a 3.5 -4 hour drive up from PDX...

Might even have the Trekker put back together enough to make it up there.

What kind of wheeling is up there? Sounds like I could find stuff for either truck...

**Tofer** · 04-13-2008, 05:33 PM

greenwater is (at least what i've found) is overgrown FS roads at worst. i mean we're talking the green sections of Archers are harder. Natches Trail goes through parts of Greenwater and i've only been on a very small part of it but again, nothing harder then Archers. (Archers is a trail at browns camp in oregon for those who are wonder what i'm talking about)

**DeathCougar** · 04-13-2008, 07:19 PM

boy, looking at the map, thats pretty far away!

Im going to have to think about that one.

***Corey*** · 04-14-2008, 01:36 AM

31.8 miles from my doorstep to the entrance of FS road 70.
For me, that is like driving to work and back home.

msh441 · 05-06-2008, 03:39 AM

"Overgrown forest service road at worst", eh?

Sounds like it might just be my speed!

I want to go bad, but we'll see.

ocdropzone · 05-07-2008, 09:58 AM

Have you come closer to deciding on a firm date?

Any permits/passed needed to be in that area?

**Tofer** · 05-07-2008, 10:38 AM

not sure about the date but no permits are required in WA.

If I remember right all rigs will have to have the forst service parking permit, I saw signs off the FS73 last fall...and am sure they cover both sides of the 410.

***Corey*** · 05-18-2008, 12:33 PM

That might be for the fall/winter, but never have I had to have one before, but that was a few years back when I use to camp up at Greenwater.
I guess I will find out, as I am camping up on 73 next weekend.
I might give the ranger a call tomorrow.

I will be monitoring FRS channel 4 the whole time.
I do not have my CB PA horn installed yet, or I would monitor channel 4 on the CB.

ocdropzone · 05-19-2008, 11:46 AM

Corey: Have you narrowed down a date yet? --"Please note that the date will change.
I had to input a date in here though for the thread to work with the plug-in that schedules the events."

fillsrunner4 · 05-19-2008, 12:09 PM

I might be in

***Corey*** · 05-19-2008, 01:21 PM

What about the weekend of the 22nd of June?
That is a Saturday.

I know Joey is headed up this way (Oregon) for the weekend of the 8th.

**DeathCougar** · 05-19-2008, 01:25 PM

June 22nd would work for me, i dont race that weekend!

btw June 22nd is a sunday, June 21st is a saturday

***Corey*** · 05-19-2008, 03:32 PM

Thanks, just looked at Outlook calendar at home, you be right

I use Outlook at work too, but I must have looked to fast.
It was like 5 minutes before I got off work.

The 21st sounds good.
I hope the weather holds.

**DeathCougar** · 05-19-2008, 03:56 PM

21st then? lets set that date in stone and get some people out here!!

What are we saying, meet that friday? Lets get the specifics ironed out so newbs like me who are driving from far away will know where to go and where to meet.
