I want to plan a winter trip, January most likely, to escape the PNW clouds and rain. Likely tent camping, though brick and mortar accommodations are not out of the question. I'll have my wife and kids (2, 4, and 17). Probably 7 days total, maybe less depending on my wife's boss. Off and soft...

I really want to go, but it's decidedly a maybe for me. I'm in a stock rig, so I appreciate the easy trails. I'm considering looking to camp the night before just because it's 3 hours from me. Does anyone have recommendations for a lower altitude campsite?

That was a great time, good to meet everyone.

Sorry leaving Olympia now

Heart stuff can really take it out of you. Be safe. Getting ready for a grocery store run before we go. Last second needs? I'm bringing baked beans (nothing fancy, sorry) and some sodas.

I'm bringing my whole circus with me as it stands now. 2, 4, 17 year-olds.

My kids can't manage to be sick every weekend, can they? I'd love to see the PNW members be a closer community. Good on you for digging in.

Woke up to a pack of sick kids. Not gonna make it today.

This happened to our first rig, we saved it. It was an old suburban, the rear axle snapped and caught fire burned through the break lines. I had a car full of babies and my wife. Thankfully it was an old all metal body. Freaking terrifying.

We lived a while in a cabin on 60+ acres of forest land. I loved the ritual of splitting wood, building the fire. Skills I learned as a kid on the farm, but had to dust off to keep my family warm. My oldest is autistic and wanted to learn the skill but sometimes autistic kids have muscle...

Ours go everywhere, we have a huge lack of sitters. We don't know many people the area, and have no family locally. It is what it is.

There were not a lot of reservations available on Saturday anywhere near Portland that I could find. Capitol Forest might have some first come first serve sites a little closer to Olympia lol.

We'll be camping in Champoeg State Park Friday night. Shave some time off the drive in the morning.

We're in. Just booked a campsite not too far away.

I'm curious about rain too. I'd have to either buy two or the t4 plus because... kids. But I have my doubts once the rains come. But I also end up being the only one setting up the tent because... kids, so making it easier on me would be huge.

Two points. The BRCs activities did not necessarily end. Just the very easy to Google portion is limited, but indicative of the character which seems to have less so do with trail stewardship and more to do with conservative politics. No matter your political preference money in politics is the...

Yeah, I've got this new to me mostly stock fzj80 that could use a shakier shake down run. We should do coffee with a view out something.

You may be a 501c3 now, not that this prevents political activism in practice, but in the past you've acted both as PAC and lobbyist and campaign contributor. Your history is plainly partisan on behalf of GoP candidates whose interests were aligned with the oil and gas industry, as well as...

Here's the problem. I didn't join the BRC or Share Trails, I wouldn't have. But Overlandbound, which I am a new member, essentially just signed us all up. Anyone with eyes can read the oppositional tone you and the various incarnations of your group use in reference to conservationists. It's...

After only cursory googling I've learned that Blue Ribbon Coalition acted as a political action committee in the past. It was decidedly partisan, donating 92% of its funds to Republican candidates. I think it's relevant to know if the BRC or Share Trails is still acting as a political action...
