TeamCF Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 OK. I pushing for the whole thing, all of it. If $$ holds out I'll stay all weekend. But I'll at least be at Sand Lake if nothing else. So. We need to start the plan. Times, places, CB channels. Whatever is needed. Sounds like for Scott and whoever is coming down with him, and me. It's Sand Lake wed & thurs, TSF friday. ScoobyClimbs, and Mike. Sounds like you guys were planning on making it out to TSF friday? Gonna have to plan a time and place to meet up for that one. I count 9 days (including today) till I'm runnin' dunes. And those will fly by fast so the plannin' needs to start to make sure we all hook up. Cellphones are not reliable in most of those areas so last minute calls for "Where you at? What CB channel are you on?" may not work. I'm just kickin' the collective butt into gear here. Not really wanting to be the "planner/trailboss" on this one. Just want to go enjoy the ride. (I started this one seperate from Scott's so we could get a fresh take on just what's going on) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeamCF Posted August 5, 2008 Author Share Posted August 5, 2008 Sounds good. So if I show up thursday morning at Sand Lake I'll proly se ya there then. I was gonna show wednesday and camp on the dunes. But cutting a day off of the dunes will help make staying for the whole thing easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael appel Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I am going to the show to set up on friday morning but I have my wife and to kids. that means the newborn so wheeling for me only the mudpit on saturday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiffy Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I work until 5:00pm every weekday, so that means I wouldn't even be able to leave portland until at least 6:00pm, if I rushed... so I doubt I would make it to the forest while anybody was still there... unless you're planning on staying out late... --Spiffy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamCF Posted August 6, 2008 Author Share Posted August 6, 2008 Hmmm..Not sure how late I'll be out. May want to make my way up to Astoria if I'm gonna end up getting to go. I'm big on the night wheeling though. Heck I've waited till midnight before to leave the house for some wheeling. Might be crazy, but it's fun. And if I break... it's an excuse to get some camping in. And I've always wanted to hit up TSF in the dark...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When and where do ya wanna meet @ TSF...perhaps browns camp...or the gravel pit at the summit of hwy 6. Sounds cool. Yeah I know we won't be able to do some trails out at TSF. During the week they close parts off for logging. Cedar Tree (or at least parts of it) I know is closed on weekdays. As far as time /place to meet. The parking area to the left just inside the gravel pit with the big concrete blocks at the entrance to Browns sounds good. As far as time. I'm proly up for whatever. We'll have to see what Scott's plans are as well. (ie how early does hee want to be rollin') And for Scott. I'm sure you've looked into all of it. But here's a good link for Sand Lake info straight from the USFS's mouth so to speak. http://www.fs.fed.us/r6/siuslaw/recreation/tripplanning/sandlake/index.shtml And it looks like if you want to camp on the dunes. Two new rules just went into effect Aug 1st. No driving on the dunes between midnight and 6am. And you MUST have a portable toilet and use it. I looked for clarification on if it's only your RV/camper has to have one, or if you as a camper have to have one. But the link is down for more info. I want to camp out in the trees in the middle of the sand. that would rock. Only catch is the bathrooms are back in the parkinglot near the "real" campground. They say vehicles can move on the sand during curfew to get in and out of camp though. So I may just take the chance. Or with no ATVs buzzing around a late walk would not be so bad if nature calls.

TeamCF Posted August 11, 2008 Author Share Posted August 11, 2008 Ok. No camping on the sand unless you have a portable toilet. Up to $5,000 fine. http://www.fs.fed.us/r6/siuslaw/recreation/ohv/sandlake/orders/order12-2008-01-07sandlake-camping-toilets.pdf So I guess we're gonna have to reserve some campsites. I just got unexcited about the camping part. I like to just show up pay my fee at the box and pick a spot to pitch it. Screw it. I'll just show up and if I can't get a spot. I'll just sleep in the car on the side of the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiffy Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I read a lot of talk on message boards about the midnight-6am curfew... at least they made it late enough to still get some decent night rides in... and it's the curfew that created the rule for having a toilet... you gotta have somewhere to go if you can't drive to the bathroom... you could always just pitch up next to somebody and use their toilet... I've been meaning to get one anyways for forest outings... cb channel 5 sounds good... I should have my cb in by the end of the week... and if not I have the frs radios... --Spiffy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll just sleep in the car on the side of the road. Just use a blue bag....and an old water bottle clearly marked witha bio hazard sticker..(lol..no confusion for H20). That's what the forest service makes us do when we go climbing...I'd like to see them dispute that one ...since the USDA endorses the use of blue bags...!!!

TeamCF Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share Posted August 12, 2008 Yeah I have no problem with wandering off on foot to the bathrooms in the middle of the night. Just have to watch out for sandworms...... I had read that the toilet thing was a result of people dumping thier wastewater from thier RV's before leaving the sand. ....... But I don't see how making everyone have a PT changes the fact that the jerks are still going to dump thier water on the sand. People being morons, forced them to make a law, that does nothing for the exact problem. If you go to the Sand Lake site, it's right on the front page. http://www.sandlakeoregon.com In the end I may not even have to worry about it. :-\ Found out friday and saturday are going to be spent helping someone move that HAS to have thier stuff out this week. So I'll proly be out at Sand Lake on thursday for a day trip. (might go out wednesday too) And I'll proly wander back out to TSF on sunday if I can. A group of Jeeps and Yota's are going out and any Soobs that want to tag along are cool. But I'm stuck in PeeTown Fri & Sat. ============================= Trying to convince them they don't need use of me or the pickup. We'll see how it goes. *fingers crossed* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeamCF Posted August 13, 2008 Author Share Posted August 13, 2008 Everything looks to be a go for me. So later today or early in the morning I'll be headed out to Sand Lake. Friday at 10:00 meet at TSF. Friday night/Saturday WCSS 10. CB channel 5 all weekend. (backup 10) MY FRS radio croaked on me. Maybe some duct tape will hold the antenna in.... Just wish I would have gotten ahold of the Snap On guy when he was in Sandy monday. I have no way to change stub axles (or take any out for spares from another diff) if I need to. So I'm going 100% spare part-less. (unless you count a roll of duct tape and a roll of heavy bailing wire as spare parts... I know I do.) Then if $$ holds out I gotta decide if I'm gonna hit TSF sunday. Or Barlow Road to some mud pits. Two different fullsize groups going that want me to tagalong.

Hope you got it going. I called out a few times here and there on the CB. Kinda figured something must have happened and just hoped it all turned out good. TSF is closed to wheelers right now and my clutch gave out. Made it to the show and home anyway with the shuting it off at lights method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
