Don't forget the musical instruments, though it may be a bit cold...

I'll throw (gently) the mandolin in.

Cold I can handle. It's the rain that can make a camp trip miserable. I'm getting out of town around noon on Friday. Hopefully should put me into camp late afternoon sometime. Glad it's light til 7:30 or so now. Going to go through the Gorge and try to avoid snow over the mountain.

Yeah me too. Across Mt. Hood on 26 would be a bad idea for those considering it.

As of now, it's not yet snowing in Wamic. Maybe we'll just get a dusting on the Eastside.

Y'all better check in when you get back to civilization .. if I ain't seen nothin' posted here by Monday morning I might send out search parties.

It's getting pretty snowy out there. I hope we can make it to "Camp A".

[LiveonJG]

Woke up to 7 inches of snow yesterday morning. Lots of downed tree limbs and no power. Power's still out. My weekend will now be spent cleaning up a big freakin' mess. Have fun out there.

[hambone]

Are you kidding? The whole reason we are going this weekend is b-cause of you! The mess will wait.

[deschutestrout]

Yea, I know. Funny how things work out sometimes. We just had power restored. I wish I could put clean up off, but I can't.

I'm still going.
Will be meeting up with Gypsie somewhere's along I-84 Friday afternoon.
After remembering to put the chains in my bus last night, I had to pull them back out this morning for the Toyota Matrix so I could get myself to work.
4" of snow today at my place.
Mental note. Put chains back in bus tonight.

What time and where? If it's around the time I'm heading out I'll join you guys. I think this might be a trip where safety in numbers could come in handy.

[Mike Boell]

Westy78,
Gypsie's off work in P-town around 5:00. I'm shooting to hit Troutdale around 5:30.
That's a bit later than I think you were planning.
I will pm you my cell number.

Yeah I'm hoping to be in camp by then. I've got the chains so I'm sure there wont be an issue. See you guys there.
