Christmas Tree Run December 15th

[TORX]

Wasn't planning on it. I'm building a posi-lock type thing for it.

I went six places today, only one person at one place knew what i was talking about when i said "throttle lever like on a tractor." P!ssed me off. I have everything BUT that.

Try your local True Value.

When I was trying to piece together mine I found a good selection of cable pullers (or whatever their called) there.

I ended up go with the posi-lock though

try Lowes, or home Depot. in the lawn mower section

Just wedge a fork in there and tape it up.

I'm hittin up the stores like that tomorrow. Hopefully someone will have it so I can screw up my jeep before the christmas tree run.

how far would you say it is from portland to the estacada ranger station?

 

[nightfoam]

Its about 25 minutes outside Clackamas. I'm coming from Lake O so I'm giving myself an hour.
If you wanna look up directions the address is
595 NW Industrial Way Estacada, OR 97023

 

[wokkerk]

[88manche]

From my house in southeast portland, it takes about 45 minuites. Roughly.

 

[wokkerk]

[WheelinJR]

alot

 

[wokkerk]

[WheelinJR]

[juniorXJ]

your Jeep sure wanted to try though didnt it. ok ill stop now. anyway, im thinking around 3 foot on the sides and a fresh 12 inches or so on the road, on top of what was already there of course. it will probably be snowing wile we are up there too.

you're just jealous you couldn't get that far...wiseass!

 

[nightfoam]

Well, weather is calling for a few days in a row of some light snow in the mountains so maybe we can get a few inches of fresh snow plus possible snow on saturday!

9AM Estacada Ranger Station (Hwy 212 -> Hwy 224 -> Estacada)
Tree permits are $5 and can be bought there the day of the trip.

I'll be on CB 24. Look for me in the blue-grey XJ

 

[WheelinJR]

no no no no no.... NW runs CB4

 

[nightfoam]

no no no no no.... NW runs CB4

I know but this it technically still a BackroadDriversNorthwest trip and since I've announced this there as 24, I guess I'll have to leave it. Unless you REALLY want me to change it, I can make things change... I'd kinda like to leave it the same tho....

BTW you can get regular for $2.89 at the Space Age on 212 west of the 224 interchange if you're interested. I'm not plugging it for any reason, just info if you want it.
