Just wondering if there's a place to find Northwest specific challenges?
-
Planking, Phooning, Owling are all passé. Levitating is where it's at.

Amazing!

A couple of remarks were made to me that I need to clarify this Saturday's HOTM is not the bushwhack 15 mile hike Andrew suggested. That is planned for the end of August.
So it's Stegosaurus Butte this Saturday. Will everyone be bicycling? This sounds intriguing.
-
Thanks for the timely reminder.
-
I'd say he's doing pretty good!
-
That's more driving than I feel like doing. I'll just stay on this side of the drink this weekend.
Have fun! Can't wait to see the pictures.

Got a link?
Where is this Mt. Jupiter?

What a weekend!
Thanks to hydnsek for enticing us northward even though it didn't go as planned. The weather wasn't the greatest but we made the best of it. It was fun camping in inchworm central. Those little buggars were everywhere and I'm sure we brought a few home with us. The hike up Lookout Mountain was brutal but worth every step. It was a great hike with lots of intersting things to see. Great rock formations, beautiful flowers, neat little waterfalls and a great well kept lookout.
We had a good time visiting with everyone Saturday night. Thank the stars that Vic remembered to pack the canopy! It saved dinner.
We drove up to the end of the road Sunday morning and OMG what an amazing parking lot! It was misty and foggy so we couldn't see the top of the peaks but what we could see was jaw dropping! We will definitely be back.
-
I am not sure where I am camping yet but I would love to pitch in for dinner if the offer is still available.
Of course the offer still stands for dinner Saturday!
See you and Miranda tomorrow.
-
You know, I was actually thinking about bagging the Sunday hike and going fishing in the area instead.
Then I saw this picture.......
uhm.. i'm in
So it looks like Abby, GrnXnham, Vic and I for dinner Saturday night. Anyone else needs to let me know by tomorrow afternoon.
Can't wait to get up there!
-
Good idea on the radios, GrnXnham. I'll have one and will leave one with Vic. (He may or may not turn it on
) Channel 2, I presume?Vic and I just discussed dinner for Saturday night and yes it's on! We Really need to know who's in...
Abby..... I know you're in
Monique.....?
FourKlinks.....? how many?
GrnXnham..... can you guys stay for dinner?
Anyone else?
The menu will not include "The Beans" but I'm sure you won't be disapointed.
Looking forward to an awesome weekend!
-
We're in!
Sorry to take so long to decide but we've booked site #5 for Friday-Sunday. I'll miss the planned Friday hike
but I'm game for the others, whatever day they fall. Site #5 is across the river from you, I wonder if there's a bridge? Vic is already mumbling about a dinner menu.....
-
so....about them beans....
Do you have something you'd like to share, Dustin?
-
Ahhh... It's good to be home. We made it back to Enumclaw around 10:30, unpacked, showered, had a sandwich and napped. My sunburn is worse than I thought last night but my blisters are better.
It was a weekend to remember! I enjoyed every minute of it!
It's hard to decide what picture to post here, I'll just share my favorite one................
-
I got this pretty good shot of Andrew and I was looking at it today wondering, is that pack empty? It looks like you took it off the rack and wore it on the hike! Seriously, I think I'm toting too much stuff.
All his stuff must be in his pockets. Come to think of it, I didn't see him eat....hmmm?
Lets see, what is in my pack.
In the main pouch, Water Filter, first aid kit, food garbage(sandwich wrapper, 2 baggies, I ate at the terracache, 20 oz bottle of gatorade) Emergency foil poncho, whisperlight stove, titanium cup and enough fuel to boil some water, small paperback book.
Smaller outer pouch, knife, 3 sets of batteries, 2 geocoins, granola bar wrappers, paper map of area, small spiral notebook like you would find as the log book in a cache and pen for notes.
The pack itself is carries the water blatter which is 100 oz and is still half full.
In my pockets are my phone and keys, my camera is attached to the small camera bag on my waist strap and my gps hangs from my chest strap.
I usually run less then 20 pounds which classifies it as an ultralight. I also had a fleese in the car which I chose not to put in the pack due to the weather and not figuring I would need it due to it being unlikely that I would get lost or trapped up there with that many people.
There you go.
WOW, that IS ultralight! I need to re-think what I pack for such a hike. I schlep way too much junk, and that's probably why I get little bruise spots on my collar bones.
-
I will also partake of the Vic-tuals. Has he decided what he’s going to make?
We're having chicken.
-
-
Og, the two of us are in on the dinner. Should we bring something?
Just bring your own drink(s), and a few bucks for the food.
Anyone else? We need to know by tomorrow (Thu) afternoon.
And yes, NWCREW the aroma is free.

We're thinking proprietary Unix operating systems for 1000, Alex.
huh?

Hey let's move this conversation to the AHOTM thread to avoid confusion.
I'd add the link but it's too early for me to figure it out.
-
However, the AHOTM on July 19 to Aix and Pains is definitely on, with many of us camping at Bumping Lake. Most of the conversation is going on in this thread.
So far, the intrepid hikers for Aix and Pains are:
Og's Outfit (cache owner)
LandRover
GrnXnham
Cache Krawler
NW CREW
Love
Alnilam
TotemLake (maybe)
Criminal
BrewerMD
B+L
hydnsek
Less than a week away! Come on snow!!!! melt melt melt
My husband and I (mostly him) are offering to cook for the camping group on Saturday evening. Let me know if you want to join us and depending on the number, we'll ask for a few $ from each to cover the expense.
-
Ditto. Should be early enuf to avoid the traffic backup over here from the I-405 closure. (Hey Og, if we need two vehicles, we can take my less-girly RAV4, it's decidedly more basic.
) Yeah, or we could take my "real" jeep. -
Can we get a headcount of just the peeps who will be meeting in the parking lot in Silverdale? I want to be able to hit the road as soon as everyone shows up.
Nice rig Crim!
I'll be there.
) Channel 2, I presume?
but I'm game for the others, whatever day they fall.
