For Pacific NW members: This weekend (21/22nd) or the 28/29th?

Another place we've been that's pretty cool is the Colockum Wildlife area. http://www.bentler.us/eastern-washin...dife-area.aspx

Here's an album for that area: https://picasaweb.google.com/cueltze...eat=directlink

Colockum is pretty much the entire area between Ellensburg and Wenatchee. It's a mixture of desert and woods. (Woods to the west, desert to the east) Also, supposedly, there's an abandoned ski lodge up there somewhere, although we didn't find it last time. The one shown in the album is an active one, and is accessed from Wenatchee.

I will not be able to join in on this, will not have the XK ready by this weekend. Main reason I will not have my spare tire in time. I will be in touch with you for more trails later on for this summer.

We'll have to do it soon.

I think we've about got it worked out. A big B'fast at Andy's. Head up highway 410. Stop and take photos at Reflection Lakes. Then, maybe on up to Sunrise. (On Mt. Rainier) Depending on how long that takes, the timing might be about right for dinner in Packwood. Then, it's down any of a gazillion U.S.F.S. roads to find a campsite.

The return loop will be to connect to 12 via 123, and head back past Rimrock lake.
