Rally Point Details:

This 2 day trip will take us through the Douglas Creek Falls area in Central Washington before crossing over heading south and camping at Frenchman Coulee, In the morning we'll head back up through another portion of the Douglas Creek Falls area (directly by the actual falls this time) on the way home.



Terrain=We'll take highway to just east of Waterville, then head south. Looks like the snow level is anywhere between 5-20" so I will be pre-running it the weekend before, so if it's impassable, we'll just go to Frenchman Coulee via Highway, camp and explore around that area as we wish, and take highway home. However, prepare for snow, and recoveries.



Weather=Expect it to be cold and probably windy, though we will try to mitigate if possible by choice of camp spot (will depend on how many rigs we have)



Required gear/equipment

Positive attitude and willingness to assist others!!!

GMRS radio or HAM able to communicate on GMRS frequencies

Solid recovery points front and rear

Navigation device with offline maps downloaded and route imported (I can help you if you need)

Clothes/gear for all weather (especially snow, rain, mud)

Full size spare



Recommended

Recovery straps (kinetic rope)

Shovel

Traction aids (recovery boards)

Heater

Ability to air down AND up

Tire repair kit



Trip route will be uploaded closer to the departure once I've confirmed that the full route is passable.
