Took a short drive up to Four Corner's today and was surprised to see an inch of snow on the ground. On my way up I got stopped by Shawn Bushnell from the DNR Law Enforcement. He said my toyota and I looked like trouble and that we should just turn around and go home...not really, he stopped me and wanted to make sure that I was aware that there is "no legal offroading in the Yacolt Burn yet?" I said, Yes sir I'm aware of that and referenced the Pistons Wild, he smiled at me and said "Oh good, have a nice day and stay on the road". While parked at Four Corner's Mr. Bushnell caught up with me again and we talked for awhile about the usual stuff(offroading, 10 year Trail Plan, and the Night People) to name a few. I headed east from there and got to 3000' elevation and a little over 3" of fresh powdery snow ;D it was wonderful. When I left at 2:00p.m. it was snow really hard all the way down to the snow line. Saw three doe's on the way up and several road hunter's... flip.flop Attachments:

Nice I might have to drive up there this sunday. Good to now about the law enforcement. Hey if your going up to Yacolt Burn area to go snow wheeling I'd be interested in tagging along. I have to be back in town early afternoon on Sunday but a short snow run sounds fun... flip.flop

So I've got Thursday - Sunday off. Checked the snow depth reader's a few hours ago and theirs still 45" of snow @ 3400'. I'd be interested in Running around Gifford Pinchote, or if time is limited we could head toward Silver Star...? I'll PM yah with contact info.
