Labor Day Run & Campout
August 31st - September 3rd, 2007

On Friday August 31st, 2007 we when up to Tree Phones in the Ahtanum State Forest to set up camp for the run.

Saturday we hit the trail around 10 AM. We ran the same trails in two groups. The quads went one way and the rigs the opposite way.

We took the rigs from Nasty Creek on up the Stobach Trail.
here is our first stop.

We had to cross a down tree on 4W613 as we were going up the side of Foundation Ridge.

Sgt Superman had no problem with the down tree.

He only lost the rear side window, a door handle, a mirror and added some good dents.

Where the Grey Rock Trail crosses over the Whites Ridge Crest Trail there is a nice view of Mt. Rainier, Darland and the North Fork Area.

Here Hoss had some problem starting his Bronco.

Hoss turned around and coasted back down the mountain until the trail started climbing. The Bronco would not start until I hook the strap up to it and was going to pull him with the Tweety Jeep. The Bronco fired up under protesting a Jeep pulling it. Hoss drove on out to Sno-park and I head up the mountain to meet Bobstar and Luna.

Here is what was left of our group. This is near the Cultus Hole View Point.

This was a real fun run thanks to to people that came.
