I'll be there, with Eva.

That's it. Really easy to find. Coming in towards Estacada on 224 there is a huge brown sign on the right. Also look for Dick's Logging Supply.
Be prepared, 4610 is a pretty poor excuse for a road in spots.

Me without woods $$$$$???? Man talk about a motivator!

I already paid for the Green Cascadia domain, might as well get it going.

Plaza Lake. I hope we can find a decent spot up there. Well heck we should have enough space seeing as how it's all wilderness...

I gotta go adjust my valves etc. in the Autumn drizzle. At least I have plenty of time now.

Nice, it just wouldn't have been the same if you didn't go Bob. We will be getting up there around mid-afternoon tomorrow.

Valves a bit funky but not bad! Dwell spot on. Timing slightly off. Replaced the cap for good measure, and blew out all the summer's dust from the engine. A cloud. Just beat the worst of the rain too!
Here's the Plaza forecast, looks to be really nice:

Friday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 67. Southwest wind between 3 and 6 mph.
Friday Night: Mostly clear, with a low around 47. West wind 5 to 8 mph becoming south southeast.

Saturday: Sunny, with a high near 71. South wind around 7 mph.
Saturday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 49.

Sunday: A 30 percent chance of rain. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 68.

Groceries got ($65 out of the Dwindling Funds!

but it was a lot of stuff thanks to Grocery Outlet, man that place rocks), just need to throw some clothes in and ready to roll.

Have a great time you guys! Looks like you nailed a good-weather weekend!

Yep - I'm getting my act together tonight as well. If it wasn't for having to bring food along, I could be ready to go and on-the-road in about 15 minutes. A quick stop at the grocery store on my way out and then pointing it eastward with hopes that NF 4610 will be kind to me.

You do know there's a Thriftway in Estacata, right?

See you in October.

Great stuff! Mine are still uploading.
I forgot to take down the hubcap. Wonder if it will survive?
