Thought I'd post this over here for anyone in Washington state wanting to dust the cobwebs off of their Rovers for an "early spring" run.

The group will be meeting in Ellensburg, WA at Bar 14 Restaurant at 8am and then dependent on the weather and snow levels there are a number of options as far as choosing a route. We will (attempt to) make a loop down to Selah then back up the Yakima River Canyon Rd back to Ellensburg. This will be my first trip with these folks and as far as I know I will be the only Rover in the group. I've never been out in that area, but I've seen some pictures of a recent run and it didn't look too intense, some ruts, some mud, some ice, and great views.

Here's one of the pictures from that area last week.

 

If I still lived in Grand Coulee, I'd join you in a heartbeat.

 

i'll have to see if i can swing some new tires by then. if i can, i'm in.

 

Bump...

...The recent snowfall might make this run a little more interesting than originally planned.

 

ANOTHER BUMP! Trip is the day after tomorrow....Anyone else from here going to be able to make it out?

 

so mad i didn't get up in time!!!!!! interested in wheeling a little next weekend? i still got out and spent some time in the cascades . . . even had to dig myself out at one point.

 

Sorry you missed it too, it was a good time. I'm busy for the next couple weekends with work and family stuff, but will definitely be ready to get back out soon. You missed a great trip, it was surprisingly challenging and the Disco performed like a champ.

Where'd you go out?

 

Here's a shot at our first summit point at a group of radio towers looking out over the valley towards Ellensburg
