Had a great time being “Tail Gunner” yesterday with @MrWilsonWJ and @JL Lou as as well as their better halves, exploring the mountains.

We need to go back and take a new picture, you can't see enough of my jeep in that one...

That’s funny, I was thinking the same.

Going back is always a good idea. I was in the Blues yesterday, sorry our paths didn't cross, was keeping an eye out though. Tried making a run at Table Rock from the north end via skyline, snow stopped me a couple of miles short. I can't believe how much snow we still have. Ended up follow trails and located a few nice camp spots for the future.

You would have needed some really good binoculars to see us! We ended up off of highway 410 NW of Bethel ridge in the Clover Spring area. If you look over in the shared routes section @JL Lou posted our track. I think it was titled Little Bald Mountain. That's the name of the peak that picture was taken on.

Nice, looks like a good spot to play. I will have to check the route. At least I got to check the wife's resolve to be out there, took her up the "trail" on Fuzzy Butte above Godman. It only goes as far as the top of the butte, then you have to back all the way down as there is no space to turn a full sized truck around, maybe a small jeep/samurai, but not my quad cab ram.

Hey everybody.
Just wanted to check in and see how you all are doing?
Hopefully everyone is healthy. If not, Does anyone need anything?

 

[JL Lou]

I am good, working still. I get some time off tomorrow, and am going to Kalispell to do a Jeep Badge of Honor trail...

 

[4Wheelexplorer]

Nice, enjoy the trip Lou! Good here, ran the back of the blues this weekend from Pataha to Tollgate, good weekend. FYI all, road 64 from Tollgate towards Table Rock is still closed. Deep mud and trees across road. Serious ruts from the big tire guys digging in.

 

[JL Lou]

Thanks for the update on FR-64. you must have gone through kooskoosie? Tiger creek road?

Hey thanks for checking in! The family is doing well and in good health. I was itching to get out this weekend but with a 2-month-old we have put our trips on hold for a bit. In the meantime, just trying to work on saving up and making modifications to the rig. I hope everything is going well and you are in good health.

 

[4Wheelexplorer]

Went from Troy to Tollgate around Jubilee Lake, headed home on highway out of Tollgate after trying to go up 64. Went from Pataha to Troy with stops on Mt Misery and Saddle Butte. Some two track and single lane action, especially for the Ram (all Friday). Also ran through Icicle Canyon in Leavenworth and the Wenatchee forest from Cashmere to Wenatchee on Saturday to extend the fun in a different area.

A two month old will definately slow the travel, but if you decide to play let us know, it seems like one of us is always willing to go out, and there are always easy / short runs. Most people are really good out there about the social distancing for safety, met lots of people on trails lately from a safe distance. Stay safe and healthy.

Awesome! Yeah, short and easy is definitely what I'd be looking for. Of course social distancing will be a top priority as well. I'll actually be heading out on the second part of my paternity soon so I might be able to squeeze some time. Are you all using rally point to coordinate or just ping each other?

Sounds like you had a good/fun trip. I am jealous

Seems like a little of both, just reach out and someone is sure to jump in if they are available to play. It is summer so everyone is looking to get outside if they can, not much excuse needed.

Pinging each other

Pinging each other

Thanks Mike for the clarification!
