We, 4X4XNorthwest are heading up to Manastash Nov 1st for an overnight run. We are going to put up some signs and do some wheeling, camping out where ever we stop. If anyone would like to go let me know.

I'm on the fence right now and I wouldn't even be able to leave until after 12 PM on Saturday, but count me in as a maybe.
 
We will be meeting at the 12th street diner in Issaquah at 8:00 am on the 1st. Having breakfast leaving by 9. Mark we can probably meet up on the ridge somewhere. We will be on channel 4.
 
Ive been considering a run up to the trails that weekend. Will probably be out a lot earlier but if you guys know what trail you'll be starting at I can make a point to meet up.

How big of a group is it?
 
Probably can't make this one but for anyone else that can't, especially other military/gov't that might have a 96 for Veteran's Day, I'm debating going up the following weekend for 3-4 days. I'm actually on here trying to find info on when Funny Rocks typically becomes unwheelable or gets closed for winter weather, so I was happy to see this trip already planned. Will it be snowy already?
 
It can be snowing up there by this weekend. I elk hunt in this area and also wheel it a good bit. Elk season ends on the 1st and normally we get some kind of snow this week. It normally is the first snow fall of the year up there so it does not really impact traveling the trails. I am unsure what date this area becomes a "snow park". Murkman on here would know more and might chime in.
 
Thanks Maverick; great info. I probably shouldn't have "jumped the gun" and posted this question here. Five minutes after I posted I found two other threads that are already chatting about October trips to Natches. :redface:

Sorry for the mini :signhijacked:

I do not run with a CB, So I will simply start the trail and continue driving until I see you. If I can find time to make this work…
 
The upper trails already had their first dusting of snow last Sunday, it was gone in one day. This time of year there can be a lot of snow or it can be t-shirt weather. Right now it's wet and muddy up there. There's usually not enough snow to prevent one from getting to the funny rocks until late november.

We have 4 rigs or so. We will be starting from Manassas campground around 11-11:30.

Okay

I'm in for sure and i might have another rig along with me. We'll probably run up barber springs and play in the rocks meet you somewhere in between. I'll be on channel 4 around that time see if I can catch you guys

Trails close when Snowmobile Grooming starts in mid-December.
 
It's a lil over an hour from my place be nice to just camp but if the weather turns nasty ill probably head back. If I do camp it'd be the 31st

Crew I usually run with won't be able to make it. So ill be solo till I catch up with anyone.

You heading out either day?

I'm just across the valley from Manashtash so I'm down for whatever... I'm to close to camp but will if I have to... :redneck:
 
I might be out and about that weekend also, staging out of Manastash camps sounds like a possibility
 
Looks like we will be camping at the campground, one of our group is bringing their camp trailer. So we will probably be leaving there around 12 or so to hit the trails.
 
I am definitely in for this. But I was looking forward to camping on the trail. Was guessing we get to shoestring lake or thereabouts before sundown.

I have to sleep in a tent either way, so I will still try to catch up to you guys. But will be so far behind I might not make it back to Manashtash camp. And if you remember, I enjoy night wheeling, and that was part of my plan as well. Was going to run tipover and shoestring back to my camp for a night run.

If I have a buddy with me, these plans will be confirmed. If I'm running solo, who knows what will happen. I will firm up my plans as the date gets closer.
 
Built and I are meeting in Thorp @ 9 to head up to the rocks and tie in with you guys later...
 
Sounds good we will see you up there. Looks like we will be 3 wranglers and 1 grand Cherokee.
Rick
 
I will guess the route: FS31 to the top of Quartz mountain. Then Manastash Ridge306, to Shoestring308, then tripod flats307 back to Manastash Camp. Or do you run string309 and tipover330?

I will be three hours behind you guys. So I hope to catch up to you around shoestring. And I will most likely take the Wells Meadow328 to short cut the loop.
 
I will be heading up Friday night. Our group is a white and a black toyota and a green samurai if you see us say hi. We will probably camp ant riders Friday and on the trails Saturday.:beer:
 
We will stop at Manastash camp to drop off a couple tow rigs. We will hit the trails from there up to 309 to the rock garden and back down 309. We have a few signs to put up.
 
I'm all ready to go for my solo run. At least until I catch up to you guys. Will most likely arrive at Manastash camp around 3 PM.

See you on the trails!
 
Had a fun solo run. Followed your tracks all night but never caught up to you. Rab tripod flats to shoestring, up string, then back down shoestring to tripod. Decided not to camp. decided not to camp.

Saw a couple groups camping. Didn't see anyone else on the trails. Maybe I'll catch up to you guys next time?

The highest points of the trails had snow on them, just a dusting. And it snowed a bit on me as I was leaving. Excited for the snow!
