So has anyone been up outside of sunset falls in the last few days that could report on snow levels/conditions? If not I may run up there soon to look.

I just got back from Guatemala and could go up this friday or saturday during the day to scout it out with someone. I can't go on the 29th though and would love to do some wheeling this weekend. Or we could go to TSF. I will bring the sammy this time. I saw some cool 4x4s in Guatemala that we don't have here in the states. I don't think I saw a single jeep, mostly toyota, suzuki, mitsubishi, and KIA.

I have changed the location of the March 29th club run. We will be heading up to Kingsley reservoir OHV outside of Hood River this is an established Class I area that has recently added two Class II trails. So lets go check them out. It's a 1.5 hour drive total. Anna, Hattie and I went up on Saturday. We found snow on the road but the tires were on wet pavement. There is a large staging area to park trailers. We can meet at the Burgerville at SR500 and Thurston at 7:30 and will leave Vancouver at 7:45 in order to meet Adam at 9:30 at the staging area and head out at 10:00. Adam has been involved in converting this former Class I trail into a Class II friendly trail around the back side of the reservoir and says with a good sided group it can take all day. Daryl will you bring your little grill I want a brat for lunch. Adam told me Full sized rigs can have some issues in a few tight spots but also that most hard parts have bypasses if need be. We can stop at Charburger on the way back for dinner and call it a day. Should be fun to see something new and meet people working hard toward the same things we are. Hope to see you there.
Questions, let me know. here are the directions we took and they are spot on.
Drive 76.5 mi, 1 h 28 min Vancouver, WA Get on I-5 S 0.3 mi / 37 s Take I-84 E to U.S. 30 E in Hood River. Take exit 62 from I-84 E/U.S. 30 E 64.7 mi / 1 h 1 min Follow Country Club Rd to Kingsley Rd 11.5 mi / 27 min Turn right onto U.S. 30 E 0.2 mi
