73 sounds like the best bet.
When you take the turn off, keep left.
The first 50' or so is asphalt, then it turns to dirt.
To the right the road is blocked by a fallen tree if it is still there, it was over Memorial day when Jim and I took a drive up there.

When you stay left, you will soon come to a bridge to go over the river.
Once past that you will see parking on the right for mountain bikers to take the trail head which is on the left side of that road.
There are also two camping spots further back in from the parking area.
I use to back my trailer right to the river there, but the sights are not very nice anymore.

Continue up the road and stay right past the tree farm.
You will see more parking on the right, this is the parking area for the winter when you innertube, snowshoe, and cross country ski up there.

Continue on and after the gate a road should open up to the right.
Do not continue straight, that takes you up higher.

If you stay to the right, it should be fairly level, and you will see another bridge I think.
Right before that on both sides of the river are spots.
I will try to snag the one on the right side if it is open.

I will be monitoring FRS channel four when up there.
I hope some have these radios.

Before

After, and I still have the dufflebag and a few more items to throw in

**DeathCougar** · 06-15-2008, 11:46 AM

Ok. I am going to open a ton of windows up on my laptop, and hope thats enough info (since I have no wireless heh) and I will try to hook up my CB as well.

CB's and FRS will work together right?

One more thing I was going to ask.....do yo have an inverter Corey? If so, we can bring a rice cooker so my girlfriend can make us some authentic Arabic Curry.

***Corey*** · 06-15-2008, 12:21 PM

FRS and CBs are not compatible.

My rig can put out 400 watts, but the engine must be running.
Only 100 watts when in gear and driving.

I may have my old one from the 4Runner that can put out 400 to 800 watts, but I do not think I have the battery cables for it anymore, just the ones that I hardwired into the thing (slips my mind right now) that the stereo amps plugged into for power.

**DeathCougar** · 06-15-2008, 12:45 PM

Doh...ok.

I'll just have to get ahold of Tofer then

fj guru · 06-15-2008, 01:11 PM

i should be able to hit the road from tacoma at about 7pm friday night.

**DeathCougar** · 06-15-2008, 07:41 PM

Ok, so Tofer and I have it figured out. We will meet in Bonney Lake at the old grocery store. I figure we will be up there late, but not TOO late.

**Tofer** · 06-17-2008, 10:19 AM

bump..

**DeathCougar** · 06-17-2008, 03:14 PM

No one else is going? There HAS to be more!

btw, I saw Corey in Auburn today. Waved to him from my Nix99 truck, but he ignored me

***Corey*** · 06-17-2008, 03:37 PM

Were you coming off of 18?
I remember hearing a horn honk as I was sitting at a light.

I had Sirius channel 20 turned up, so I was not to aware of anyone while sitting there

**Tofer** · 06-17-2008, 03:48 PM

there has to be more people wanting to go!

**DeathCougar** · 06-17-2008, 03:56 PM

No, this was at the 277th st light. I noticed the giant white tent on top, you were heading south on Auburn Way.

***Corey*** · 06-17-2008, 04:26 PM

Yeah, I was heading home.
Nope, never seen ya.
Next time lay on that Nix99 horn

Did you go by Doxon Toyota?
They have back to back an all black FJ, and a all white Trail Teams edition.

The black one has the OME lift on it like mine, an ARB bumper, winch, and the exact same Pro Comp wheels I have.
Also Pro Comp 33" mud tires.

They use to use a different Pro Comp wheel, but I think after seeing mine in their shop a few times, Doxon switched to the ones like mine for their custom buildups.

They are getting $40k though for the custom builds, a HUGE markup.

**DeathCougar** · 06-17-2008, 06:29 PM

There is a BRAND NEW Convertable FJ at Magic toyota in Lynnwood, as well as a special edition "FJ Crawler" though I am sure most dealers have that one.

***Corey*** · 06-18-2008, 06:04 AM

Those convertibles are ugly, at least the ones I have seen online.

BAD NEWS
I have to back out.
I woke up Monday morning for work and took the mandatory shower.
After I got out, my left armpit felt like I had been stung like a bee.

I looked at it, and there is a small bump with a black head coming off of it.
I put on some alo vera I had, and it felt a little better.

If I sit still like in driving it is OK.
But if I move my arms such as in walking or even typing here, it hurts.

I thought this might go away, but it seems to be persistent, and I have to have it looked at.
My doctor can see me Friday.

I have absolutely no idea what it can be, but for such a small thing it hurts.
Looks almost like a tick head sticking out, and we do not have ticks here as far as I know.

So if I did try to go camping, I would be miserable.
I have to see what my family doctor says it is.
hopefully he can take liquid nitrogen to it and burn it off, but I have no idea what it is.

Does not look cancerous, but then I am not a physician.

I was looking forward to this trip, as I have not had a chance to get out and camp yet this year, something always comes up.

PS, no pics

**DeathCougar** · 06-18-2008, 09:07 AM

So you are not even gonna come out on saturday?!

**Tofer** · 06-18-2008, 09:13 AM

so now it's just going to be deathcougar and me?

***Corey*** · 06-18-2008, 09:13 AM

I do not know.
I am in a lot of pain right now.

I just called my doctors office, he is out of town, and one of the partners in his clinic can see me Friday.

Cancer runs high in my family, I am a little paranoid right now.

**DeathCougar** · 06-18-2008, 07:42 PM

CANCELED

Corey is dying of cancer and Tofers truck is messed up.

We are tenatively rescheduling for Aug 7-9

TooRisky · 09-02-2008, 05:29 PM

OK well it is now Sept., is this trip on or off...we are running outta summer now...BTW what was up with the arm pit..???

**DeathCougar** · 09-02-2008, 06:32 PM
