Hey, Pacific Northwesterners...Wanna go overlanding on Memorial day?

[RevN3]

I have a rough plan to go drive around with some friends around Ft.Rock and then over to Camp Sherman in Central Oregon for three days. Does this interest you? You're all welcome to come!

 

[RevN3]

Current plan is:

Friday Night: Camp near Ft Rock
Saturday: explore the area including ft. rock, derrek cave and maybe an old abandoned homestead. Camp in the Brothers area
Sunday: Travel to the Metolius Valley area and explore/camp
Monday: Explore Metolius Valley some more and head home

TRIP REPORT: There will be a video for this eventually but I thought you guys might want to see the Taco pictures. @jbiscuit and @fourgotten were also out with me. We covered a LOT of miles...sometimes more than once.

Near Ft. Rock

Lost in the desert

Accidentally found the hidden way to get into Devil's Garden

Accidentally found my first abandoned homestead!

Glamour shot of @fourgotten's rig

Same for @jbiscuit, he was going to regret setting up his tent early once the weather in the distance moved in

Relocating after the weather cleared but before it got bad again. We has snow flurries the next morning.

Up in the Cascades looking for mushrooms

Deep in the trees to take shelter from the wind on night three...once the evening rolled around it was calm all night though.

Airing up for the trip home. I'm very happy with how my DIY 4-way worked out.

I really wish I could get something like this started over here in my area... Would love to spend a day or weekend out in the trails with other Tacos

I find that larger regional Tacoma groups on Facebook are the best best. I'm planning on having a Tacoma meetup at the coastal dunes and plan to invite the entire PNW Tacoma group as well as the smaller Oregon one. Getting people from T3G historically has been a challenge. One of these days I'm going to meet @Bessi3-taco in real life!

I always check for trips on here. I'll try and make it out sometime. Just a long ass trip from E.Washingtin and gas...
