I vote friday and saturday:eek: still dont know if its somthing I will be doing

[Rooinater]

how about i make it easier. manashtash camp ground or rider's campground. both in manashtash, same area. either camps are probably best for you. unless you want to go to the otherside and camp on the naches river side.

here's your info on rider's camp
http://www.fs.fed.us...campground.html

manashtash camp info is down. some web site maintenanence. it's just before rider's on the same road.



i'm still tenative. if i have my sami, i might bring that, but not much for the wheeling dept if i bring that. or if i get the tires on the car i'll definately bring that.

[subaruguru]

ok so this is where we will be going


her is a link it says iyt has quad dirt bike and 4x4 trails and camping it is 5 dollers per day an i think i can swing the ten dollers for the pass lol. http://www.fs.fed.us...campground.html

Mudding can be defined as driving vehicles through wet areas of the forest, with the intent to see how much mud can be thrown up onto the vehicle, or how large a mud hole can be created before vehicles can no longer drive through without becoming stuck. Mudding damages soils, water quality, vegetation, aquatic, and non-aquatic life. Mudding gives off-road vehicle users who recreate responsibly a bad rap.

[subaruguru]

[subaruguru]

:-\ hope the manashtash fire isnt gonna effect this.

[SubaruWagon87]

I heard its about 480 acres. After I fix my wheel bearing, this weekend we can take a run up there and see how things are

[Rooinater]

:-\ hope the manashtash fire isnt gonna effect this.

if they are having a fire... more than likely the manashtash district will be closed. happened to me the last time i planned a trip out to naches.

[SubaruWagon87]

Coleman canyon is a possibility. What do ya think Robbie?

[Rooinater]

you should try evan's creek. a little ways for ya, but i know i could probably come out for the evening. it'd also probably be easier to get turbone to come out.

[Rooinater]

http://www.fs.fed.us...ers/index.shtml here's the closers for the wenatchee nat. forest. check and see if those roads to access camp are on it. fire was started by lightening. those campgrounds you were planning to stay at, aren't on the list. and i didn't see anything about no motorized vehicles.

[SubaruWagon87]

It looks like I might not make it. I don't think I'll have the gas money . I'll see what I can do, but if I don't make it, you guys have fun

[xt6scoobyroo]
