One heck of a day. 35 miles of LoRange fun

 

Saturday morning 11/19 Snow/Mud/Slop run is planned. Stampede Pass + some bonus tracks.

 

OK I will take the hint and get up there in what is hopefully my last pre-rock-sliders-trail-run.

Which day - Sat 18th or Sun 19th ?

M says my rig 'will be good enough' lol

 

For sure. Great stuff.

Mild terrain planned but with the mud and snow things get more fun as you know. Snow is creeping lower day by day. Was about 6" at 4000' where I was hiking Friday. All a bit of a crap shoot this time of year. One trail I'd wanted to do has a bridge washout before the trail, or so I've read a week ago. It's a cool trail that connects to another I'd planned. Always have backups though.

Saturday is the plan. Sorry got my dates wrong. Can't remember if you have my cell from before but shoot me a message and we can sort stuff out.

 

A quintet of Defenders young and old.

A lot less miles than planned. One trail, not three.

A lot more snow. About 18" up top. A great team effort.

Fun times.

 

Pacific Coast Rovers Club is having its annual shindig and some trail fun in northern Oregon this weekend if any Defender folks are headed down. I know one other forum member will be there.

New trails for me to enjoy.

 

A fun weekend in store. Summertime PNW mountain tracks await.

 

A great day of lo range fun. 6 hours or so on the trail.

Van Epps Pass and Van Epps Loop.

 

Nice!

Oh no, have you got the dreaded blown halo?

 

just the angle of the shot. I just checked. All working. That one was replaced not too long ago after it blew. I reckon the passenger side is on borrowed time. Crappy design.
