speaking of bucket panniers, anybody got a line on some buckets?
Dick's drive-in sells used mayo and relish buckets for like $0.75. Not sure if all locations do, but I've gotten them from the Wallingford spot in the past. Food grade buckets with lids, just have to wash out some of the old mayo grease.

i'll be borrowing a B.O.B if it fits on the trike.
If that happens, i have my red panniers to loan. Theyre not full size, but they'll hold a night and a day of shit.
we will also have a Rodeo to load up with items. Annie will not go up with us as shes gonna do some volunteering at our sons school for a bit. Shell meet us up there in the afternoon (remember its like just more than an hour drive), so the option to go light exists to a degree.
as for the details WATCH THE FIRST POST AS I"VE EDITED THE BEJEZUS OUTTA IT.

Speaking of which, where is our fearless leader^H^H^H^H^H^Hpants pooper anyway? I figured he'd be on this like... um..., him on corndogs.
Anyhoo, what are our travel/packing arrangements? I assume we're driving to the Rattlesnake Lake parking lot and departing from there. Do we have any vehicle other than Trevor's going to the the campsite?
I have access to a dual burner Coleman campstove and can bring vittles along.

okay thats 2 stoves
i'd like to know from the bunch going if we wanna devise meals before we go or deal with it in Cle Elum?
either way I dont care, their Safeway has all the accoutrement's
I've also got a duel Coleman as well as excessive amounts of fuel... Thanks Boys and Girls Club for the donations!!
As for the food, are you thinking communal cooking or each <wo>man for themselves? Either way the Cle Elum Safeway is in decent proximity of the destination (better to lug food from there than the whole distance) and would be a great place for bikers/cars/unicorns to regroup.

Let's at least meal plan ahead of time. Last camping trip we all wandered around Safeway somewhat aimlessly and ended up with random (but tasty) things like Oreo's, orange juice, tortilla chips, and items for Henry's homemade salsa.
We can pre-plan a reasonable (fiesta?) dinner meal and buy things at Safeway. Everyone is on their own for breakfast, ja?

see, i dont know 'bout the rest of ya, but i LIKE to eat...'specially after a long assed ride over a mountain pass. If y'all wanna fend for yourselves; m-kay. But id think some kickass burritos with rice, black beans, fish or chicken or foto and a phuktonne of veggies. That would be yuuuuuummy!
Breakfast is easy, eggs, sausage, potatoes...maybe oatmeal and brown sugar. fuc, now im getting hungry!!!
<after a sammich>
so, before we go bonking arround rednekville, drunk, sweaty and tired, lets come up with some id'ers. Also, if we eat BEFORE we swill gallons of liquor, we AMY have extended silliness insted of limited insanity followed by blackouts (not like thats a BAD thing...but i like silliness).
Else drool in your lap and stay away from my vittles.

Well, I'm on the injured list for about a month so it looks like I won't be able to finish my summer with this ride.

Have a wonderful time and hopefully I will be back in action for the memorial ride in November.
Also remember the Mountaineer's are having a gear grab on Oct 18th at the Queen Anne club house:
300 third ave west
6:30-9
best stuff is gone quickly so get there early.
Later

I had a lower vertabra slip and pinch a nerve. I'm hobbling around like an old man, oh wait, a really old man. And I was looking forward to this ride. I'm sure everyone will have a wild and woolly time. Stay safe!

Aw shit man, that's awful! Best wishes for a speed recovery. I still have not yet had a chance to witness a Roetry reading so hurry up and get better!
PS: let us know if there's anything we can do to help out (beer delivery, etc) while you are in convalescence.

I have one week of school left, and shit tons to do. It's looking like I may have to bow out, though it's not for sure. I've been looking forward to this since before the last camping trip.
=(
I hope I can make it. I'll update later in the week.

so if we're driving out and leaving from rattlesnake lake at 8am-ish, how are we getting there? can we get folks who can haul people and bicycles to north bend listed in the first post?
if anybody's interested in bike-bus combinations from seattle, route 209 runs from the issaquah park & ride at 730 on and puts you in north bend at 830. it takes a little while to get to issaquah from seattle, so it'd be an early morning and a long day. not nearly as long as riding the whole way, though.

i'd like to offer rides, but, uh...not likely.
I have NO problem leaving later so folks have time to get to Rattlesnake. Would it be better for us to leave @ 10ish?
thoughts?

OK, we *really* have to start doing some serious car planning. As of last night, we've got 2 cars lined up that can carry 6-7 people to Rattlesnake. We need at least one, probably 2 more cars, folks. Who can step up here?
Also, Trev, how do you want to handle bringing gear up in your wifemobile? Drop stuff off at your place?

I was thinking we load it up at rattlesnake, as Annie wont be at the camp till 6 or 7 (shes a busy momma).
i've heard nothing else, so...?

Car: I've got 2 spots for people and bikes in my car. Who calls dibs?
Gear: I've got a 2-man tent, I can get access to an only slighly musty smelling 4 person dome if you let me know we need it before tomorrow afternoon. What other gear do we need?
Rock climbing: it's gonna be kinda cold and wet for rock climbing but if folks are interested, I'm happy to haul gear up. Does anyone want to do this? If so, I need to know before tomorrow afternoon.
PS: Langston's got a car, right? How about Ben? If we can get 4 cars, we're good.

i know i flung shit at the whole exit 38 climbing ider, but it really Is gonna suck donkey dong after all the recent rain. those routes dont get much light and are not much more than moss pockets by now.
of corse it wouldnt be a pointee3 trip without some sort of insanity.
oh, and if you fuckwads wanna eat, lets get a dinner idea going...unless we just wanna go into town and eat at some of Roslyns finest establishments (holds back gag reflex). I'm willing to MOSTLY pitch into for a burrito breakfast...and i'll even cook it for you bitches, but best speak up. My cooking aint too bad...my kids haven't had to go to the ER yet this year, and the CDC no longer uses my fridge for its botulism source...

as of right now it's a total of 70 miles with 5600 feet of climbing, 50 of those miles are gravel/off road.
ouch. seriously fucking ouch.
i've ridden the wayne trail many times before and let me tell you the distances are longer than you think.
that being said, i'm in sans laura, which means i have a car that can hold an additional 4 people and 4 bikes.
where exactly are we camping?
are you whining...AGAIN?!? (and after that shit you put us thru on your trip, at least mine will be downhill the way home, baby). i'll pack tissues for you.
but seriously, the grade isn't that bad considering its a old rail line and leaving the JWT and going thru Cle Elum and Roslyn are also relatively smooth stretches.
But there is NO rush, it's not a race, so lets have fun!
Like I said in the overly edited first post, i'm going up Friday to locate and secure a site on the Salmon Le Sac river...hopefully right at the bridge.
I think leaving around 10 seems like the best idea, unless folks want more sleepy time or want more riding time.

I hope you guys have enough light.
Halloween weekend last year I left Seattle at 6am and rode to snoq pass (62 miles), got there at 1pm, maybe 45min to an hour total time stopped. One flat repair. The pace was pretty persistent and we were lightly loaded.
