Hey FAM,

I posted a poll and you guys answered! such awesome responses from everyone which is greatly appreciated. I will continue to post polls for meetups as there are places some people havent seen but would like to see, and some people who want to see these places again! all around I have an assload of trails lined up for our meets, some more intense, some very easy, but all together a fun time! SO HERE IT IS!!!

TACOMA3G'S 4TH COMMUNITY MEETUP AT SANDSTONE CANYON VIA FISH CREEK WASH!
T3Gmeet4.webp


I will be heading out there and arriving a bit before 10AM to anticipate people arriving. Sandstone Canyon is a large area with hours of play time, generally a flat trail, but there are offshoots where we can do some crawlin. This meetup will be a CAMPING OPTIONAL meet. Hopefully the community decides to join me in good food, drinking, card games, and night trail runs! It will be hot out there so please remember plenty of water (beer counts). Bring some food for the day, we will have some lunch partway through, and we will setup a base camp later in the day, and during the actual sandstone canyon trail run, as it is tight with a narrow turn around, but very worth it to pass through. The Sandstone Canyon trail is an awesome place to snag some awesome photos of your rigs!

I hope to see you all out there, and as always all the information is on the flyer!

Super stoked for this. We are newbies and hope it’s okay? Also we can only do day trip so being out before dark is crucial. Is this doable for us?

Fish Creek Wash and the first part of Sandstone Canyon are easily doable with a stock and even 2WD. Once you reach the first "gate keeper" at Sandstone you'll want armor. Just be prepared for 100+ temps. and no cell service etc.

Yes completely! The overall trail is very easy, and that was my intent this time with this meetup. After a while Ill be leading the way back towards the entrance of the trail for anyone not wanting to stay and the. Bring everyone to the site I plan on setting up camp at. There will be many side trails along the way as the main one is not very intense at all and more so flat. But none of them would be beyond your capabilities
