PEAK PUTTERS

Hi, this is Trashy's wife posting up with information on the Naches area for memorial weekend. We had heard the report that the areas were going to be closed, but this morning we heard a rumor that they were going to be open so I gave the ranger station a call to find out for sure.

She said that due to the hot weather we had over the weekend the south facing trails should be ok and clear of snow, and the north facing trails will have snow patches and more winter like conditions.
White Pass camp areas are open. Chinook Pass camp areas will be open by Wednesday. Little Naches camp areas are open. Kaner Flats will be open by Friday.

Trashy and I are planning on camping at Kaner Flats, headed out either Friday around noonish, or in the afternoon depending on if I have to work or not. Anyone is welcome to join us or stop by our camp. Just look for the bright pink truck and the flamingos!

Don't forget everyone that your vehicle has to be street legal to drive on the forest service roads. That means flaps and flares, lights and has license plates or an ORV tag. I'm sure there will be plenty of Rangers in the area keeping an eye on things.

There will probably also be quite a bit of mud up there. So we should help as much as we can to preserve the area by talking to people that are tearing things up and being disrespectful to the area and other users. I plan on taking our camera and a notepad to document vehicles and license plates so they can be reported to the Rangers.

Hope to see some of you there!!

If ya gotta go, do your part! Hope you don't have to take any pics but odd's are you will.

I think a few more of us may be headed to Naches as well. Not sure where we'll be camping though. I'll keep a look out for the truck and Flamingos!

We'll be off of milk creek at the end of 676. Hard to miss.....

you Rock, I chose to avoid little naches this weekend

It was a good weekend, not too many people up there really. met Learch and Bullrider up there, wish we could have chatted longer but we had to get going to avoid the rolling road block that we had just passed...



Saturday was fun, it was a bastid to make it to the rocks in the mashed potato snow but it was very dooable with a bit of winching...


Sunday was a hoot, we headed up 590 out of camp and caught 617 from there and ran 676 off of that down passed the BIG downhill and mudhole. We ran a couple forrest roads till we had jumped around the hillclimb so we didn't have to spend the afternoon waiting for the large group of rigs waiting to winch up it..


As for the chevy truck we heard and got a glimpse of doing dough nuts in the meadow on the end of 590 by our camp we saw him pass by Saturday when we got back to camp and headed up behind him. We didn't see him until I turned around, he was at the bottom of the meadow and when he saw us he decided it would be a good idea to try out his mud dragging skills and then do some 4 wheel drifting around us IN the meadow. Sure is a good thing Peanut had the camera going and we got his plate number. That SOB is going to pay.... Ranger station will love this one..


We JUST got home after leaving camp at midnight... had trailer light issues and ended up turning on the running lights on my yota to get home. As I pulled off at sunnyside for fuel the truck died as it was out of fuel.. damned gauge is off by over a 1/4.... So a lovely call to my dad at 3:30 got him to come up and pull us to the station with my ranger... Poor truck needs back tires now.... I had to coast backwards into the ditch to stay out of the road and the ranger managed to pull the truck out minus the trailer.

Pics of douche bag?

you are THE MAN

Yes. please

Let us see the pictures of the torn up meadow and the truck...Make him infamous Unless it complicates the prosecution of SOB....

Would posting some of the other forums maybe turn up someone who know's the cull, but has a conscience

I posted this pic on TC, chances are one of the photo peeps there will be able to clarify the pic.






He wasn't the only idiot up there... But a friend of ours that was with us knows this guy and gave up his name so he's going down too.. Nice beer, smile for the camera deuchebag!!











And the meadow PRE second deuchebags antics...

That silly sumbitch did all that on his own

Yup for the most part that grey chevy did it all that I know of. When we got there on friday I drove up to the meadow and gathered logs to use at our camp and it wasn't in bad shape at all. It was just soggy grass.

There were the occasional atv'r catching the edge of it and tearing it up as they headed up the road but they were so far and in between I don't think they did enough to worry about as far as a ranger goes.


Here's a cleaned up pic a buddy did. Not great but better than what I could do.

Good photo guy could maybe get a plate out of that....I hate stoopid.

No need to, we have the plate # from when he was doing doghnuts around us.
