*** RIMROCK RUN, REVISED DATE ***

Misread the calendar and have plans on the weekend of October 10 & 11...I've revised the dates to the weekend before October 3 & 4. Hope This doesn't create conflict for others, post up & let me know

October 3 & 4, camping at Bakeoven Flats (primitive camping), run whatever trails we choose

Let's get a good turn out, best wheeling in the state...up for discussion at tonights meeting

Logistics to follow after tonights meeting for some REAL Washington wheeling...hey we have the TEAM TROPHY champs to set the pace for us ALL & a month to prepare

im in......hopefully nice and muddy!!!!!!

All the camp areas are $8.00 a night. There was fire along the short and dirty ridge line and some of the trails leading up there also. All areas south of 1070 were closed labor day weekend due to fires still burning. Shouldn't be a problem the 10th and 11th of October. Lower Bakeoven flats is a nice camp spot and is just shy of mile marker #5(marked on road and trees). Homey if it's muddy you better get that skinny pedal lubed up. I'm in

Modern Rifle hunting season commences on October 12th I believe, and goes for a couple weeks

I was just confused by the wording. So its Oct. 3rd and 4th. I'm planning on making it.

CORRECT, thanks for clarifying

Unfortunately the 3rd and 4th doesn't work for me. We'll see on the trail another time.

Cool, looks like these dates will work for us! Would like to get one more trail run in before I tear into the tranny, etc. this winter

DIRECTIONS:
From I-405, Maple Valley Hwy 169, to Enumclaw left onto Hwy 410 heading towards Cayuse/Chinook Passes...stay RIGHT at the Y onto Hwy 123 towards Cayuse Pass...follow through Mt. Rainier National Park...at the end of Hwy 123 (stop sign) turn sharp left onto Hwy 12, follow over White Pass & past Rimrock Lake & past the dam
right turn onto Tieton Reservoir Rd (1200), about a mile or so past the dam
Follow 1200 around to the south side of the lake, after passing Pine Ridge Rd (1203) & crossing over the bridge, 1st left (straight turn) will be South Tieton Rd (1000)
Follow (1000) for about 5 miles, Bakeoven Flats campground ($8.00 daily fee/primitive/no running water) will be on the left
I'm heading out Friday PM, it's about a 4 hour drive from Renton...hoping to be on the trail at a decent hour Saturday AM

NO GAS STATIONS ARE NEAR BY, SO BRING EXTRA GAS FOR TOW RIGS & 4x4 IF NEEDED
Last gas will be at the White Pass Ski area, or the town of Naches about 20+ miles either direction from camp

As the date gets closer please post up when your planning on heading down & guesstimated arrival timr so we will plan our trail departure times accordingly
If there are any questions please ask

Chris/Mark, I've never camped at Bakeoven Flats, are there pit outhouses & running water there? Are Northwest Passes required with the $8.00 campiong fee?

Good directions. The gas station at white pass does not have diesel fuel. Whistling Jacks has diesel fuel for those that care. I made it over and back and still had a 1/4 tank of fuel. There is a outhouse in the middle of camp and a pay station. No running water but your right on the river. The last 5 miles of 123 before you hit hwy 410 is pretty bumpy. The pay station in camp did not mention northwest passes.

Thanks for validating the directions, and following up with additional info...maybe your plans will change so you can make it

When are people planning on arriving? Saturday morning or Friday evening?
