The bridge over the Yakima River has been out for years but has been crossable by 4x4`s in the past.Has anybody been there lately and knows if it is still dobable ??
 
I`ve been there now, and a few corrections ....

It`s a great trip for stock rigs and NO" Cascade Pinstripping".Enumclaw to Greenwater FS70 rd to the FS 7030 up to Old Twin Camps ,right to Windy Ridge/Gap. GREAT VIEWS Mt Rainier on the right Stewart Range in the distance on the left,after a couple of turnarounds and I think thats the way, downhill we went ,Oh this looks familair ,things changed in 6 years, The road was alot better than I thought it would be.At the bottom turned right,OH man lead dog has a good view of a Bear running up the road.
54 /52 rd ? over Tacoma Pass not much of a pass onto 41 rd finally the bypass trail to the water crossing thats not the Yakima River:laugh3: well it was alot deeper and by the destruction it has been in the past ,We crossed Cabin Creek in 2hi then into the backyard of Easton.

,T&A,Tim and his 2 girls broke away to visit relatives in CleElum area.
Dale , Douglas and I headed for So CleElum and up to Peoh Pt then on our way to Buck Meadows ,OOOPs D&D are having overheating and no power problems ,Ok take it easy down the Buck Meadows Tr cross the long wooden bridge then with
"tech asst Hammer and long bar "break a hole through the cat and WOW were going again,[I was starting to have "land Rover flashback"] ,Up the Tripod Flat tr toward Funny Rocks down the Milk Pond rd to 410 and home....Alittle over 200 mi. 7:15 pm home.
