Oregon Eastside Camp - March 22 - 2012

[Sluggo]

Google says you can take White River Rd in. Is that road too rough? It's less distance from Portland.

[hambone]

Follow my directions or get stuck somewhere. Thus, it has been said. It is still very winter in the Cascades...
Same to th rest o' you goons.

[deschutestrout]

Follow Hammy's directions. That White River Road will save you NO time.

I'll be there sometime Friday afternoon. Hope it's better weather than here. I'm resenting that little 68° tease the other day after waking up to three inches of snow this morning.

[Sluggo]

Gonna try and make it Thursday. Desperately need to camp!!!

[hambone]

Hope you can, Sluggo. Miss hanging out with ya! What time are you thinking of heading out?
I still hope to make it out there Thursday morning, I guess it depends on the weather.

What time you leaving Thursday morning?

Any time after 9:00, I'm flexible. Not too late though, I'm itchin ta get out.

I get it from the NWS, you can pinpoint an area on the map:

Believe it or not, this is pretty typical for our Badger Creek trips. You get every weather possible besides tornadoes.

I updated the forecast, it has slightly improved. Come on warmer weather! 50 deg. isn't bad really. Cold nites though!

I'm all atwitter....

Looking like low snow for NW Oregon overnight, supposed to be gone by mid morning. No telling what to expect out there. Be sure to bring chains and plenty of warm clothes. Firewood if you have it.
Of course NEXT weekend looks to be very nice weather.
But of course we are all nuts. See you out there! Man I have a ton to do today...

[Mike Boell]

Fueled up last night. Filled the propane tank. Bought two little green coleman propane canisters for back-up. Will start packing clothes tonight.
Chains, yes. Sitting by the bus. Must make mental note to put them in the bus.

Don't forget the musical instruments, though it may be a bit cold...
