I am wanting to go up to greenwater saturday. It won't be anything that crazy considering I am in an almost stock rig. We would meet at the safeway in Enumclaw at 9:00am

 

Hey, Jim and I are going Friday morning, but just for an hour.
I am getting over a cold, and I think he is too, so we are just heading up for an hour to get some pictures and test the snow up there at FS road 70.

 

what time are you heading up there corey

 

Well, Jim just informed me he is going to the doc tomorrow.
I still want to go, but I can only go for an hour.

I like to go around 9 am.
I am a morning person, and I run out of steam early

I will know more later, I was suppose to take off an hour ago to do a few hours of chores here.
The Internet has me trapped today.

 

I'll go tomarrow with you. Sounds like fun. time to see the fj in the snow

 

Please post some pics - the northeast is having an incredibly snowless and warm winter, and I need some inspiration!

 

PICS of the FJ in the snow!!!

 

Now we are talking Saturday
I have 12 days off for Christmas from work, wish I could have got up already, but catching up on lost sleep and other stuff here takes priorities over wheeling.

Can we try to shoot for Saturday?
And I will be cutting out early, have stuff to do.

Usually when we have gone up 70 before in the snow, we can not go to high.
We have made it to the gravel pit, and beyond on 70, all the way up to the parking lot of the right where the restrooms are for the hiking trail into the twin lakes.

I would not recommend the road out of the gravel pit that is the road we come down into the pit when we do the 72 to 70 loop.

I bet they have several feet of snow up there right now.

 

saturday works for me does anyone else want to join us

 

How many do we have?
I PM'd Will, have not heard back from him yet.

I also PM'd Chewy46 over on fjcruiserforums, but also have not heard back yet.

 

Im still in. ready for some snow

 

You might wanna call the White River Ranger Garret.
I just did, and the gravel pit has 7.5' of snow there now.

She told me we can only drive up the FS road about a mile, then you need to purchase a SnoPark Permit to go any further.

I am not to sure if she is familiar with trucks that go up there, as she told me you can not wheel up there at all, and I called her on that and said we go 4wheeling all the time up there in the spring and summer.

360 825-6585

All other roads up there are either closed due to storm damage, or wild life preservation.
FS Road 74 use to be a good one too, she said that is closed from storm damage.

She said Evans Creek is open, but I am not familiar enough with the area, have only tooled around on the FS roads there, and not the trails.
I imagine they have a ton of show too, and I am not going to run any of their trails.

 

if there really is 7.5' of snow that is crazy because I drove to the gravel pit like a week and a half ago after snowboarding and there was only a trace of snow there and I thought that snowpark permits were only for snowmobile parking lots

 

To be honest with you, she might not know diddly squat.
She said the gravel pit is at the same elevation as Crystal, and they have 90" there.

 

well I guess it is up to you guys if we go.

 

She could be wrong on that.
I think it might help if a few more call her for some cold hard facts.

 

I just called and the person I talked to said that you could make it to the gravel pit in a 4x4 truck

 

Sounds good to me.

Pretty much anything beyond that anyway requires one of those permits I guess.

I am still game.

 

so Corey who do you know is coming with us

 

You, Jim, and I so far.
No one else has responded.

Chewy did on the FJ forum, but he needs a CB first.
