I'm a definite maybe. Cherie is a definite maybe too.

Some people in our little group are worried about the chance of thunderstorms tomorrow. We're still planning to head down and assess the weather situation when we get there. There's a chance we may choose to do a different hike, but we're still planning to meet at Paradise at the moment to decide.
Anyone else for sure planning to come?
Thunder schmunder, I will be there.
-
I may just have to try this hike again. The last time I did it it nearly killed me, okay a slight exaggeration, but it severely kicked my butt.
-
I"ll be there
-
I lean towards the Twin Peaks hike.
-
Did I miss the dates for the May HOTM?
Nope.
Yup
May - Memorial Day weekend at Cape Alava to go after 3 virts. Sunday has a really good low tide working in our favor for traversing the reservation.
-
I plan on being there also.

For Hurricane Ridge? The parking lot.
For Teaney Rdige
N 47° 21.240 W 120° 43.117
Another possibility and more likely is
N 47° 22.110 W 120° 47.064
Checked out trail head options this afternoon.
Road to Iron Creek Trail head is closed (snow) right off of Hwy 97. There were some guys there getting ready to x-country up that way, so I'm assuming it's snowshoeable too.
Drivable road to Road Ends Trail Starts ends at N47 19.851 W120 51.219, ~4.7 miles from Road Ends Trail Starts. There is still unpaved road for some unknown distance but is is currently closed to wheeled non-logging vehicles. Non-road snow conditions where we stopped are pro snowshoe

Cool. I was kind of wondering about that. If I don't hear about the other cache snow conditions by after this weekend, I'll lay down plans for Hurricane Ridge.
What are you thinking of as a trail head?

We're heading over to Wenatchee this weekend I will try to do a recon on the way home Sunday.

It's looking like a party of 3. My daughter and her BF are joining me.
I was thinking about doing this hike again but I came down with the crud this week so I'm out.

Saw some MSR Lightning Ascent 30's for sale on NW Hikers for $150

Here is a list of caches along the Mt. Rainier Wonderland Trail.
GC3C25 Virtual Cache Wonderland Series: Dick Creek
GC82BD Virtual Cache Tolmie Peak
GC3AFC Virtual Cache Wonderland Series: Carbon Glacier
GC3E29 Virtual Cache Wonderland Series: Mystic Lake
GC39BF Virtual Cache Wonderland Series: Seattle Park
GCCF4 Virtual Cache 12 Birds at the Dome
GC8A35 Virtual Cache Wonderland Series: Summerland
GC828E Virtual Cache Wonderland Series: Golden Lakes
GCE4D Virtual Cache Carter Falls
GC8A3B Virtual Cache Wonderland Series: Indian Bar
Tolmie Peak & 12 Birds are not actually on the trail but are both well worth a side trip if you have the time.

Found out the hard way that they are also applying the fee to their land at Baldy Mt near Enumclaw. Fortunately the by the hard way I mean only driving a long way to then be blocked from the land and grabbing the old caches up there that I wanted to find.
I must assume then that they have other pieces land elsewhere where they are doing the same...
Looking at their website it only looks like they are only charging the non-motorized access fee on their Snoqualmie and White River farms. Eatonville & Kapowsin appear to be only selling the Motorized access permit but you need the Motorized access permit for any type of access on those two farms. Access Info

Leaving Federal Way @ 0600 if anyone is interested in carpooling.
Could stop along the drive north if needed.

I like the skyline option.

I purchased a pass but find it strange that the pass is only good for one vehicle license #. My wife has a car and I do (as many folks know it well), it just seems underhanded that I have to choose just one car to go with my pass. Also, the person who printed the discovery pass obviously can't spell.
I see a few folks in past posts mentioned this "vehicle" vs user issue. Anyone ever been hit with a fee for having an active pass but the wrong license plate assigned?
I haven't put my License plate number on my pass and have never had any trouble, though I do know one person that got a warning because they didn't have their plate number on their pass. That being said I'm not paying for your ticket if you choose to follow my example.

So if I wanted to hike up the North Fork this weekend to where the Bare Mtn Lookout used to stand, can someone tell me how close can I get before hitting a closed gate without paying any money?
There shouldn't be any gates before the trail-head, but there may be other obstacles 4 miles before the trail-head check out this thread on NWHikers.net

Any one up for a bicycle ride to Getting Loony at Calligan Lake on Saturday before the close the forest? I got as far as Half Way Up to Calligan Lake earlier this summer before I had to turn around due to active logging.
I'm plan on being at the Spur 11 gate (N47 34.471 W121 44.156) between 0800 & 0830 Saturday morning.

I upgraded my snowshoes to a pair of these today and a set of tails. After our Memorial Day weekend hike up Deep Creek I decided I needed better traction than what I had.
-
I'm in, hopefully third times a charm.
-
I probably missed the good weather to go after this one, but rain snow or shine, I'm targeting this short hike to Cache at Lodge Lake on Saturday. I'll be there by 8AM to be on the trail by 8:30. NWTP is required. Trailhead starts at the very end of the Snoqualmie West Summit parking lot.
If I'm over this freakin cold by then I'll be there.

Yeah, easy to take shots at the geocachers, but if you look at the logs not that many have been that way. Thirteen in six years, geeze. 2009 was a real Grand Central Station year with six visits. The carnage he is talking about, if it really exists, was caused by others than geocachers. What a [removed to protect my ability to continue posting]. I agree, it is my island so stay away.
What he is saying is a little more nuanced than, "stay off my island".
... It is likely not you doing the trashing, but this posting is open to all ...
... All I ask is for those of you who set up these caches to please consider the many unintended consequences and then remove/relocate inappropriate listings! If they stay, I will try to get geocaching.com to remove them…there is a process for that. The better process is to police yourselves.
Okay, how about "I've found this really cool place that I love to come to but please don't encourage anyone else to experience it because I'm the only one that can be here without causing unintended consequences."
