If you were out riding yesterday and staged at Cataract, check your machine.
At the end of the day I found a license plate about 1/2 km from the parking lot. 2 other trucks were in there besides us. Both were gone when we got back.
I wasn't sure what to do with it, so I put it in the box...
I believe that these 3 were on skyline going northward. Thanks to SledderGlen and everyone else on the trail grooming crew for knocking down those big drifts just south of the viewpoint area.
As you can see, there is still enough snow in the southern area to make for a good trip. These were during my trip last Sat.
Again, if anyone has tips on how to have these turned properly. I would appreciate it. Nothing more annoying than having to turn your head to look at the screen!
The first is just some snow. So rare these days, I just had to take a picture. The second is the valley bottom west of Cataract parking lot. The entire area is not like this but does have patches of bare areas. This is the worst area. The snow on the ground is from the snowfall in the first...
Staged at Cataract yesterday. Valley bottom west of the staging area is thin in some spots and bare in others where the sun hits it. The ice crossing beside the big bridge is gone. May be able to get around it in another place, but it looks like a big air space under the ice remaining over the...
I was thinking of going tomorrow also for possibly the last ride of the season, unless we get a spring dump of snow out there. Have been watching the weather radar closely and noticed some snow activity earlier this week. I also got rained on and ran into a small avalanche while I was at work in...
I should have also mentioned that anytime I have encountered logging trucks, they have always been very courteous by slowing down and moving over as much as possible.
The best thing to do is probably just pull over where the road allows it and let them go by. They appreciate it alot. As...
I don't have 4wd, but I do have some decent snow tires all the way around. There was a short period where I shoveled bunch of snow into the back of the truck, for the added weight on the rear tires. Slow and steady once I turn off the pavement has gotten me to the staging areas so far this...
I got checked in the cataract parking lot as I was unloading.
When I paid registration last summer, I had put it in the center console and forgot to put on the stickers for 2017. He checked registration and everything was fine as I put the stickers on while he was going over the registration...
I should have taken a picture to post on here, but the creek crossing at cataract lot had melt water come down saturday and sunday. Guessing about 6-8" on top of the frozen layer previously there. This new water has started to freeze, but I could see it flexing when I was standing on it with my...
Just reposting with quotes.
Thanks for the invite.
I did manage to make it out there that day and parked at cataract creek area. I didn't see your posts until that morning and by then it was a bit too late to meet at the parking lot. Somewhere you had put down the time you planned on being...

Looks like I will be able to get out there tomorrow. Buddy cancelled, but damn the torpedoes, I'm going anyway.
Will probably be looking to ride along with somebody else if they don't mind in the parking lot. Not sure which one I will go to, will just make that call when I get out there. Say...
While the weather has not been overly cooperative this season, I would like to point out that there are growing reports that as this El Nino fades out, it is going to be replaced by La Nina in late summer/fall. This is actually good news for us because it means that the later in the season that...
