Hoping we can make it. It looks like my oldest kid has a soccer game that morning currently but I don’t know if the dates for his games are truly locked in yet.

We'll be full swing planting at that time but I should be able to make it.

Well I hope you can make it but I understand if you can't. Family first.

I am hoping so. I put your photo up on the Rally Point to encourage you to come. :)

Here is an event we are hosting on Memorial Day Weekend to celebrate 20 years of hosting motorized recreation events. I hope some of you will try to come. Eastern Washington Off Road 20 Year Anniversary Camp Out

I've always enjoyed that event, get to go have some fun while doing good by cleaning up the dunes. The last few years that trip has been the only time I go out there which is surprising since I drive by the entrance multiple times per day. Are you guys coming over for the day or plan to stay in Smith canyon like years past?

Camping there sucks due to the rude people that run through your camp all night long. That is why I was looking for other places to camp. I will come for the day. I plan to trailer my YJ all ready to go so I don't have to stop for fuel. It is a 2 hour drive there.

Here is another event we hope some can make this summer in the Blue Mountains: EWOR: Blue Mountains Overland Trip

I've spent a lot of time in that area and have a route saved very similar to yours that I've wanted to run but never had a chance. So when I saw you making this trip the last few years I've always wanted to go just something has always came up. Looking at your route and planned camp places I see you have Bone springs listed, Bone springs isn't really a camp ground anymore. Not sure if it burnt or what years ago but there isn't anything there anymore. You could stay right by it at the warming shed on top the hill but there are two pretty decent camp spots within 5 miles. One is Mottet campground, you'd continue south on Skyline then turn west on 6403 and it's a little ways down. The other is Timothy Springs Campground which I really like and have stayed at a lot over the years. Timothy Springs is about 5 miles from Bone Springs if you continue south on Skyline then turn east on 6415. Both offer fire rings and vault toilets.

We actually have stayed at the Bones Spring Warming Shelter the last two trips through there.
The problem with Timothy Springs Campground it is small and has been full that time in the year in the pass. We stay at Bones Springs Warming Shelter because by the time we get that far coming from Selah, we are tired and don't want to take the chance Timothy Springs is full and we have to find something else. We never have been to Mottet Campground. We might have to check it out.
As far as fire rings, we normally just use the propane fires pits we bring. Too many times there are fire bans where we go in the summer.

Yes. If you are coming, look for us at the end of the pavement between 8:30 am - 9 am. I am trailering the YJ behind the Forest Service Green F350.
