as of now, my old buckaroomate andrea might come, but that still leaves 2 spaces for bikes and people in my car. 3 if you're really comfy with each other.

I'm bringing my ego and some B00SH-Ass Sundae fixin's. That's right ice cream sundaes to share. Everyone should have their own bowl/mug fork/spork. Pick something ridiculous, delicious, or bubblicious to bring on the camping trip to share.

out hand fractured. not as metal as Bryan.

i have spots for 4 people. 1 of those is a maybe on being taken by old buckaroomate, she's still making up her mind.

keylime, i got room for you

better mark it down for caroline too - she said she's coming but is pretty quiet on here.

Okay so everyones pretty much talking about driving all the way to the washout and bicycling from there (8 miles) instead of Darrington (30 miles). Frankly it's an easy ride in from Darrington, but folks are either broke dick (Like Monica and me and possibly Laura) or are going with peeps that need a shorter distance (alex's wife for example), or they're bringing food/drinks or something crazy (Andre w/ ice cream, Rogelio w/ Monica).

So let's start at the washout and bike it in. If we get to camp early we can do some day hikes to the surrounding peaks or something. There's lots of places to go around there. Will stop in Darrington for supplies on the way in.

So this just turned into a short easy ride into a badass campsite. Hope nobodys getting busted up by the lack of miles on this one.

Party on Wayne

i will know tomorrow if my car is available or not.

short ride + day hikes == awesome

See you Saturday.

If someone else needs a ride let me know and I'll make sure to bring the car with more capacity and comfort.

Just called the ranger station up in Darrington and here's the word. Snow level in the open is 3000-4000 feet. There was a group who tried going up Green Mountain recently on 4x4s and couldn't make it to the trailhead due to slides and downed trees. None of the trails past the washouts have been maintained for ~4 years, so their condition is unknown.

Should make for some fun exploring. Snow shoes anybody?

snow shoes probably wont be needed on snow that's been sitting in the sun and kicking it for a few months, overkill to carry those all the way up. only need them if you sink in big soft snow. if there is snow on an upper hike, just bring some solid boots and possibly some yaktrax type slip on crampons and you'll be fine.
