I just posted details for this Saturday's WATTORA run at Tonga Ridge in the Sultan Basin. As always, folks from this board are welcome to come along for some fun

Details are in the "Upcoming Events" section of the WATTORA website at http://www.wattora.com If you are planning to come along, please RSVP so that I can get a count.

I hope to see you there.

 

Tonga isn't in the sultan basin, its just above skykomish off highway 2 About 20 monutes from my house too

 

That is true, but people know where the Sultan Basin is and if I said "20 minutes from Crash's house", only a few people would know where that is... It's close enough for purposes of illustration and to give folks at least an area to look at on the map, even if it is not entirely accurate.

 

hahahahahha, good point...
ANother good bearing, use skykomish, thats close to both tonga and iron goat, and used to be for the hot springs before they blew them up...

 

So, you gonna come play with us?

 

Wish i could, got a planned run up at reiter, and right now the snow is just poor, even with my 38.5's, very icy

 

Too bad ;(

Well, good luck with it

 

I think you guys are going to be in luck rob as the snow is falling, and lookin out my back window, just above the top of the isabel trail...

 

That's great news! I was worried it was going to be all crusty and nasty up there.

 

So... how was it??? PICS???

 

It was NUTS! We spent much of the day in 36" of snow and EVERYONE got stuck at least once

I think everyone had a good time and pictures should start to roll in soon

 

Man am I itching for a run. Its been over a month and Im going crazy.
Couldn't make it yesterday. Had to pay respect to a friend/coworker who past away last week whos service was yesterday.

36" of snow! Holy crap that would of been fun.

Like the hungry dogs that we are, at least throw us a bone (teaser pic). he he

 

Here's one!

 

Another

 

One more.

 

Wow guys... What a fun trip. Being the only Jeep at an all Toyota event, and I still felt welcome. It was really cool to see everyone looking out for each other. Thats what wheeling is all about. Where else can you see everything (from almost stock to the big blue bus :eek: ) out having fun together. What a bunch of classy people. I'd wheel with y'all any time. Thanks for the invite.

Wow! :eek:

Look at all that snow! Looks awesome!

 

It was a pleasure to meet you and I am glad to hear you had fun. I can't thank you enough for breaking trail for us. It would have been a VERY different run if we hadn't had our two snow plows busting the drifts for us. That rig of yours was almost unstoppable.

You have a standing invitation to come along any time we go out. We do try to look after one another because we often have wildly varying ability levels and levels of build out along on the same run. All of us can learn from the others on the run... sometimes the greenest newbie picks a killer line that makes it look easy and sometimes people with years of experience need to be reminded how just beneficial very low tire pressure can be in snow ehheheheh

I am glad I got a chance to wheel with and I hope to see you again soon at a WATTORA event.

 

Jim! Those are GREAT! Thanks again for coming along, your trailbreaking proved to be a key ingredient to the mix Saturday. Yet again it was great to wheel with you.

I am not sure which I found more cool, the fact that you had the entire family along, but were still leading the charge through snow where I witnessed a snowmobile get stuck or the fact that you have an oven in the extended cab and COOKED lunch while were waiting on the second half of the group.

Thats quite the machine you have built!

 

Judgeing by the temps and the moisture, the snow must have been great, it even started snowing on us at reiter.
