July 9, 200817 yr The only reason Im going to be able to make it this year is because Jibs opted to carpool with me and split the cost of gas We'll be there friday night.
July 9, 200817 yr Well, it looks like the girlfriend and I are going to bring her wagon. We're planning on taking off the morning of the 14th, spending the day in/around Astoria, and going to the show on the 15th. Hope to meet as many people as we can!

If you are planning to stay at a hotel, the night of the 14th, you better get a room reserved now.
July 10, 200817 yr If you go to Google Maps (use Sattelite) and locate the Fairgrounds, look directly east. Theres lots of trails from the looks of it. the maps put out by the forest service are rated as far as difficulty or ease. never the less the google maps only show the state/county maintained gravel roads which are the ones that do lead to the trails. ill still try to get the maps anyway on friday because ill have nothing else going on in the afternoon.
July 10, 200817 yr im stoked thinking i will drive the legacy and tow the hatch due to gas. but it will be fun none the less im planning on going down on the 15th in the morning leaving from ellensburg so if anyone is wanting to golet me know i will have atleast one seat if not 2. Rob
July 10, 200817 yr Hooters in beaverton could be sweet then we could just jump over cornelius pass, we should meet on friday around two That sounds cool with me. I'll start a thread and see if we can't get other people to join us.
July 10, 200817 yr If you are planning to stay at a hotel, the night of the 14th, you better get a room reserved now. We were thinking about finding a campsite nearby, and if that doesnt work out, theres always the back of the wagon

July 11, 200817 yr well, i went to the ODF today and got a new map for the tillamook area, in which they said the were not able to find any maps for the astoria region. ODF of forest grove did give me the phone number for astoria branch of ODF (503-325-5451). when i called astoria they said most of the trails or roads that you see on google earth are private land for warehouser and are not open to the public. i also found out that the state and blm land is going into burn season and are cracking down on anyone who decides to blaze there own trail, you will have to stick to the gravel roads and trails that are not gated off. you also need an off highway vehicle permit (also for cars) if you can find a place to get off the road at. these permits last year were $12.

July 15, 200817 yr So the mud pit will be Saturday from 3-5 PM, and Rally/Auto-X on Sunday? No mud pit at all on Sunday?
July 15, 200817 yr So the mud pit will be Saturday from 3-5 PM, and Rally/Auto-X on Sunday? No mud pit at all on Sunday? It looks like the Auto X is being held some where else and the mudpit is on site. I would assume the mudpit will be available for both days. But I am assuming. A Staff Member can verify if this is correct.
July 15, 200817 yr Slight change of subject, but still related to WCSS... Will there be food on site, besides the spaghetti awards dinner? The snack trailer with coffee and muffins/fruit/snacks was a Godsend, especially in the mornings:) . If not on site, how far away is town?
July 16, 200817 yr Not sure of the onsite stuff, but Warrendale is really close, as is Astoria depending on which way of business route 101 you go. I for one will be restocking my beer supply (if it runs out)at the Rite Aid in Warrendale because I know how to get there with my eyes closed since I work for em Dunno what to do about food... I was just going to live on Beer and Oranges maybe
July 16, 200817 yr Dunno what to do about food... I was just going to live on Beer and Oranges maybe Isn't that what you do every year, Mike? :lol:
July 17, 200817 yr Author The mudpit and the Rally-X share the same general field area. While they are separate, for safety reasons we cannot run both courses at the same time. Depending how things go, the mudpit may be open longer, we'll just have to play that by ear. We hope that anyone that WANTS to get dirty, has the opportunity, and we will certainly work towards making that happen. As for morning espresso and snacks, we are unfortunately still on a search to find someone. The Purple Cow, which has come in years past, is not able to make it all the way to Oregon. The fairgrounds may also have their concession stand open throughout the day, however, this is not finalized yet. We will update when we have a solid answer. Show is exactly a month away today!
