Rally Point Details:

Day 1 (Fri) It's a 208mile trip for the Noon folks, and 157miles for the direct to camp folks. it'll be a trip up near Omak, Twisp, and Concully. there will be a NOON departure Friday, if you can't make that, I have a route for you to take directly to camp1. The noon departure takes us through a trail near Ephrata, called Douglas Creek Falls (you can find it on OnX). It's got some steep downhills coming from the south, and several water crossings leaving to the north.

DUST was a major issue so DUST LIGHTS WILL BE REQUIRED for those leaving at Noon (highly encouraged for all) if you don't have them, Message me and we can build you something realitively cheap.

Camp 1 will be up slightly north west of Pateros.

Day 2 (Sat) 136 miles. we'll meander through some FS roads in the area, Dipping into Twisp (twice actually). Then on up to the 4th of July Mine, and eventually into Concully. Depending on time, we may run up to Funk Mountain fire lookout (if not we can put it for Sunday morning)

Camp 2 will be at Oriole Campground or Kerr Campground depending on which we feel (and which has room... they were empty when we pre-ran it)

Day 3 (Sun) 156 miles. will be a short run up to Funk Mountain in the Morning, then a drive home. (as of writing this, Funk Mountain is above the snow line. 3 weeks can make a huge difference, but I still expect to encounter some, especially on the north facing slopes)

I will send a direct message about a week or so prior to those who have RSVP'd as going. We usually do a Potluck style meal on Saturday night for those interested (helps get us all together for a meal) participation is stricktly optional.
One note, while 4 legged friends are absolutely welcome to join, we do ask that we keep them teathered away from any meal prep or where others are eating especially during the potluck we want to avoid any issues, and keep our focus on enjoying each others company and getting out

Required:
Dust Lights (Message me if you don't have any and want a somewhat inexpensive solution that is removable when not needed)
Recovery Points (Front and Rear)
GMRS Radio
Good Attitude
Pups leashed/teathered away from food during meals.

Hightly encouraged to bring
Recovery Gear
Shovel
Rain/snow gear
Warm Clothes (Spring is bipolar, especially in the mountains)
Good Footwear(may be in snow/mud depending on weather)
