November 7, 200520 yr I went for fun cruise up Still creek rd(fs rd 2610) to Sherar burn(fs rd 2613) and broke trail for 10miles in a foot plus of powder in places! It was awesome! Then I hiked up to Devil's peak lookout tower(5,045ft) for a hot lunch and brew! I did have to cut out some blowdown to continue ....no problem! I never had to chain up! My Yokohama Geolander At+II's were awesome!

November 8, 200520 yr Wow, those are beautiful pics. I love the mountains in the background. Were you by yourself? If so I would have been a little worried about getting stuck, or stranded.
November 10, 200520 yr Author Wow, those are beautiful pics. I love the mountains in the background. Were you by yourself? If so I would have been a little worried about getting stuck, or stranded. Mountains...lol! those are just small buttes!(under 5,000ft)here's the mtn(Hood 11,240ft) pic taken 2 weeks ago! Yup... just me... Getting stuck..nah...It's a subie ! I've dug myself out so many times I can't count how many! Besides how many subie owners are crazy enough to follow me....? LOL! I know the limits of my subie... I have the gear to get myself out of a jam( bow saw/maddox/chains/beer for when life really sux...!) + being a mechanic helps too. When I go up to mtns. I have extra clothes, water, stove, food for a few days if needed.
November 10, 200520 yr Besides how many subie owners are crazy enough to follow me....? Me!! Plus you sound like you really have your stuff together. Sounds like you are the guy to talk to about some winter snow style camping? I bet you know all the good trails and camp spots up there, huh?
November 11, 200520 yr oh... come on you'll get your share of snow soon enough. just head north.... nope there's still no snow up north of subie94 this past weekend i cruised from Potsdam NY, to Peoria IL, via canada... no snow :-\
November 12, 200520 yr Mmmmmmm snow... Wish I got that here, then I'd have to put the ice studs in my M/T's Anyway, nice place, but a little cold for me anyhow.
November 12, 200520 yr Author Me!! Plus you sound like you really have your stuff together. Sounds like you are the guy to talk to about some winter snow style camping? I bet you know all the good trails and camp spots up there, huh? I know Mt.hood Like the back of my hand, summited twice , many attempts different routes(weather/chopper crash...!!!) . Almost killed by an avalanche!!! triggered a small avalanche skiing..YIKES!! Been snow camping on Hood since '77 I've dug alot of snow caves! Bivyed once during a storm (made a snowcave in foot and half of snow!) circumnavigated the mtn via the Timberline trail #600 with a 50lb pack (41.8miles in two days!) I climb, ski(tele/x-country), snowshoed, mtn biked , backpacked, canoed , fished, horsetreked all over that mtn! I know a few gems in 30plus yrs of going up there! I also do volunteer trail maintainence on the #794 cool creek trail and Hunchback mtn #793 + Devils peak lookout tower! I'm no expert just lots of experiences there!
November 12, 200520 yr oh... come on you'll get your share of snow soon enough. just head north.... just as long as it doesn't snow before i move.it'll be around the end of this month.after then it could snow up to two feet and it wouldn't bother me.
November 12, 200520 yr Besides how many subie owners are crazy enough to follow me....? Me! I live at Alpental at Snoqualmie pass about 1/2 of the week. It's about 3200 feet and buried in 2' of snow at the moment . Fun stuff.
November 13, 200520 yr You know, I'm not 100% at the moment. Depends on what my Thanksgiving plans wind up being. However, if they wind up being what I think they're going to wind up being, I'll probably go. I've seen your car before, at rallies. I think I saw it at the Wild West service area and at maybe Dryad?
