Whoa! Looks amazing up there. Can you get to it from the Warm Springs side? I'd be willing to do some trekking in Totoro as soon as I get this clutch in next week.

You can, from FS42 to 57 or 58.
Keep in mind the final 4 miles are pretty crazy! But definately passible in a Bus.

Aha! Good thing I'm doing the clutch next weekend! I'll be planning my route and convincing Sommer that its a good idea to crawl forest roads in the mountains! Maybe a comprimise would be returning on real roads. :)

Check that googlemap link. There really aren't any "real" roads out there but a lot of the route is paved.

Aha! i googlemapped it and I've been out that way, not bad at all. I really thought it was farther from 26 than it really is. I used to always turn on road 32 and take it down to Salt Creek and then all the way to Trillium Lake and back up to 26. I thought we'd be going in the hard way and have to come out a different easier way, but this looks like cake. I think this one is a no brainer for us. A wonderful area to camp and with some guitars and other kids I think we'll be set. I think you'll see us there!

That was a really nice area. I'll be there if I can.

Looks like Bagby Hot Springs is a good side trip or if we go through Detroit was can hit it on the way. Very nice. There's another H.S. up there somewhere near Babgy but I don't remember what it's called.

I hear the easterlies are blowing pretty hard towards Walla Walla these days. Or at least that is what the little birdy told me.

The weekend of the 25-27 might just work for me!

Stephan, where you stick your "peg" is really your own business.
