Fall Colors Run - 9/18/2004 (Washington)
YotaTech and WATTORA are teaming up to bring you "Fall Colors 2004". This is an easy class run, with most of the day spent on Forest Circus roads. It is suitable to all trailworthy rigs and all drivers.
The focus will be on good company, stellar views and photo ops.
Details and the RSVP form are at http://www.wattora.com/EventDetails.asp?ID=70
I hope to see you on the list
*Please note that Corey our YotaTech administrator and founder will be putting in a special appearance on this run. Let's get a bunch of trucks together and show him a good time

Count Me In..!
Looking forward to this get-together. In fact, Corey and I made a run to the CB shop today, so I would have that ready for the trip. My '84 doesn't yet have a CB, but that will be fixed very soon. Bought the same radio I have in my '89..a Uniden Pro 520. Great little CB's. Shop was able to tune 15 watts out of it. Along with a 4-ft K40 antenna, I'll be good to go!
Rock on

This is NOT a difficult run. The day will be spent primarily on Forest Service roads, looking at great views around Mt. Rainier, taking photo ops and getting to know fellow Toyota enthusiasts. Most us won't even use four-wheel drive, unless it decides to dump several inches of snow on us like it did a few years back. If you are looking for hardcore, this run ain't it. But, if a leisurely drive through the backcountry, outstanding views and good company appeal to you, this IS the run for you. There are a couple optional side areas where we will stop to let people play, but the focus of the run will be on scenic vistas and photo ops.
I'm in.

I'll try to make this run, but am not sure when I'm getting back from an un-mentionable run south of Salt Lake City so I'm waiting to sign up.
If it's that easy, can I just leave the trucks at home and drive the GFs Oldsmobile? Seats are a LOT more comfy in that thing.

2.0 Unimproved or rarely graded dirt road; 4WD and/or extra clearance occasionally needed at times, with no special driving skills required. Passenger cars NOT acceptable, due to insufficient ground clearance. 2WD & 4WD trucks with stock clearance are acceptable. Street tires are acceptable. Day runs are typically 20 miles in length.
5.0 Trail CANNOT be driven the whole way. Winching is required in at least one point on the trail.
(I hope you can make it. You and I on the same trail, at the same time, is one of the final signs of the coming apocalypse.)(WARNING: In case of rapture, my rig will continue to be occupied.)
