LandRover

If there are any others that want to go but don't have snowshoes I'm pretty sure I can borrow a pair or two of MSR's from my daughter and son-in-law. Just let me know.

We have to pull out of this, I've booked a show for that evening and just won't have time for the hike, cleaning up, packing and traveling to the gig. Have fun! Bummer the cancel, still glad you're seeing work. LandRover, is your knee up to this or should I work on a different hike as plan B? I'm still a go, not sure what kind of stress snowshoeing will put on it but I can always stop, probably won't be any worse than Lichtenwasser Lake with a 50# pack, better not jinx myself.

What are you having done? I had arthroscopic surgery in June 2008 and was back to basically normal in a week. I had the same knee replaced almost seven weeks ago and am nowhere near normal. I can get around on reasonable terrain, but would not want to try trails yet. Having a torn meniscus in my right knee repaired.

I'm a maybe. I'm trying to schedule my knee repair for Dec. 3rd so depending on if I can get it done then, how fast it heals, the doctor said some people are up and about in just a few days while others take a couple of months, and how close we can park, or I could always get a wheel chair and have you push......

Maybe Swamp Thing uses candy to sweeten up his victims first. Anyone ever notice the similarities between Swamp Thing and an unemployed and homeless Gorst the Friendly Furple? I'm just saying!

I'm game for either one. I was just up in the area today playing in the snow on the Naches Trail at 4600'. It's amazing how much better the ol' Land Rover handles the snow with decent tires.

Maybe all three! FRIDAY NIGHT BREEZY. RAIN. SNOW LEVEL 8500 FEET. SOUTHWEST WIND IN THE PASSES 15 TO 25 MPH. SATURDAY BREEZY. SHOWERS LIKELY. SNOW LEVEL 5500 FEET. AFTERNOON PASS TEMPERATURES IN THE LOWER 40S. WEST WIND IN THE PASSES 15 TO 25 MPH.

If you can make it to Federal Way I have an available seat.

I'll have my Micro Spikes, the ones I left in the back of the Land Rover while I slipped and slid on the walkway and rocks at Washington Pass last weekend. As I was sliding down the icy rocks I thought of the Big Hump affair.

Okay so I can't speel, put me on your "Ignore Users" list.

I just added a user to my Ingnored Users list for the first time today.

We went to the Tri-Cities for the CCMII a couple of weeks ago and the only snake I saw all weekend was a garter snake, I could have stayed home to see that.

NorthWEST????

You say you want to do some hiking, so something that would interest your non-caching friends would be cache landing at tullis canyon its about a 3.5 mile one way hike with moderate elevation gain for the first 3 miles then the last .5 mile or so you gain about 500'.

Looks like I'll be heading out of town Friday morning about 0900. Will probably hit the TH between 1100 & 1130 as I need to stop and get a new NWFS Pass and somthing easy for Lunch.

If you're not going you should be. It's a great hike to a great location.

You would probably have better luck with this over at NWHikers.net

A most excellent hike we had today. Okay the hike was all road walking but the loch was perfect. MtnMutt paddled his "flotation device" over to the island and the cache while I wandered around TRYING to catch some fish. I hooked several but never got to actually touch one, not necessarily a bad thing, they were all pretty small but I still had a good time. I eventually got brave enough to actually do a little bit of swimming too. There is no trace of the old boat that was there the last time I was there, but there were 3 rubber rafts stashed in the bushes one that looked like it might still be viable had we brought the right type of pump.

I like 0830, I'll be the one driving a Land Rover. One vehicle sounds fine, I'll let you do the driving if you want. Jeff-

If the Mutt still plans on doing this on Saturday I should be able to make it.

Next week end would be good for me after that I'm up for the rest of the month.

I just like to watch the drunks

enomicon?????

Who's this Square Bear dude and what's someone from the Midwest doing poking their nose around in Northwest stuff anyway?

...And then you can start working on those Germans who armchair-log virtuals. Now you really got me worked up.
