Heading out tomorrow to Scout the intended route. just to be clear, the trip is 100% a go, and I will have a route posted early next week, just trying to make it a bit more adventurous/interesting/scenic.
I read the last bit and think "3 hour tour".

Just a reminder, the gpx file is on the rally point, Download it, AND offline maps, we will have service at camp (Sorry) but not in Douglas Creek Falls area (not reliably at least).

We will meet at the Maveriks in Airway hights At 0730 fueled up and ready to roll at 8.

We should be more than fine on fuel, (the scouting trip had us only down to a quarter at camp, and there was A LOT of high RPM driving lol) so we'll fill up Sunday in Ephrata, and that should get folks at least back to Spokane if not home.

Weather in Vantage (just across the river from Frenchman Coulee) will be 55 and mostly sunny. 40 overnight low. Sunday Morning will rain from 8-10am(40-31% chance)... so expect that we may be packing up with a slight drizzle.

We will get to camp pretty early, to hopefully secure the preferred site, and give folks plenty of time to explore around before the sun sets at 7:16pm

Please bring 1 bundle of wood each (the maveriks had wood when we stopped last weekend) and at least 1 Gallon of water for fire extinguishing purposes (outside of what you need for cooking/drinking)


if anyone has any questions/issues, please feel free to text/call me. especially if you are running late Saturday Morning (I'm up by 5 every day so don't hesitate to reach out due to the hour)
