We are heading to Juniper Dunes Friday to camp in Smith Canyon for the weekend. We are running the trails starting around 10 am Saturday. Feel free to join us. Look for my F350 w/camper and a white YJ this time.

CB #7 for Saturday's run

In eastern Washington, the Border Field Office is restricting camping, day use, and access on BLM-administered lands.

What time do you think you guys will be getting out there? I'll stop by and to say hi on my way home from the shop today, had some family stuff come up so I don't think I'll be able to make it out on Saturday. But I'll get my whip flag set up just in case.

I didn't see any signs up for closures yesterday, but I'll swing out there this morning and see if they put anything up
As of 6:30 this morning there is no signs up for restricted access at Juniper. Didn't see any campers at Smith canyon rd, but I didn't go too far down. There was 5 campers at the main parking lot at the end of Juniper Dunes rd.

The plan is to leave Selah around 1 PM or so. But things are going slower then I had planned. I should be there before 5 PM. I will post from there if I can.

Kinda playing things loosely this weekend myself, may sneak out there to meet up, but it all depends on how the weekend goes. May end up running to Eugene/Springfield area to help friends evacuate if needed. Only moved here a year ago from there so still have a lot of friends and family in Oregon. So far they are good considering, but it is a bit hairy down there right now. Will have to get a whip/flag to come out, but should do that anyway.

If you need a last minute whip the Shell station right at the exit for the Pasco Kahlotus highway has some or did last time I was in there. But if you have time to go somewhere any of the Bike shops should have them.

Thanks for the tip, have a walmart down the street on road 68 and they should have some, if not there are a few other places nearby home, may be more fun rigging it onto the truck. Not sure how well we will be able to see the flags through the smoke though, lol.

Got the flag, and improvised a mount from a clamp off my tonneau cover that died this year. Should do the trick.

I am coming from Richland. I am not sure where you want to meet, let me know what is convenient for you. And the time. I will check this in the morning.

I am off Road 68 area in Pasco, so probably easiest to meet at the Shell on Pasco Kahlotus Rd just after the highway crossover. I will be in my Ram on the road end of the parking by around 9 so we will have plenty of time to go out and find Ceg before they run away.

I have to make it 9:30. I already told my wife we are leaving here at 9. So somewhere between 9:20 and 9:30

If that is too late for you we could meet there.

Just a quick shout out to Ceg and the Liberty State guys for inviting JLLou and I out to play at the dunes. Had fun and met good people today. Thanks all! Hopefully we can get together again on other trails in the future.
