All Wheelers Off Road Club -
4W613 Sign Replacement Run
October 17th, 2009
This story starts back on July 11th, 2009 when we add new signs on 4W613 at the Gray Rock Trail.
On this day we removed all the old signs at the Dome Peak Trail and at Strobach Mountain to take back home to refinish.
We had to make it fast since the Ahtanum State Forest was on fire at Green Lake.

The next week Phantom-309 offered to plain the old signs for us. We dropped them off at Helliesen Lumber.
The signs were too far gone to save. Helliesen Lumber donated 14 new treated 2x6 boards for signs and Phantom-309 routered new words on them for us.
Here we are pictures of my wife and I painting them.
On Saturday October 17th, 2009 we met up at Nasty Creek Corals to air down.
Heading up Nasty Creek Road.
At the Strobach Mountain Trail Head we replaced a broken Green Dot Marker with a new one.
Moving up the Strobach Mountain Trail.
At this small meadow we added a Green Dot marker to show where the trail was since there were tracks every where.
We moved up the trail to add markers at an intersection where a non-green dot trail was.
The first marker.
The second marker.
Both Green Dot markers in the picture.
Moving up the trail the weather turned bad fast. It got cold, windy and the rain came down hard.
Coming up to the Strobach Mountain Trail and 4W613 intersection.
We all got wet putting up these signs.
As we worked the rain and wind seem to get worse. We were now hearing thunder.
Well they are up but will have to have the paint touched up next summer. The white soaked in.
Moving up up toward the 4W613 Upper Meadow the trail got real slick.
I got hung up on a big rock at the top of the steep climb but some how was able to get going again after a few tries.
As soon as I topped the climb I found a Jeep coming down the trail.
The Jeep backed up aways to let me by as the rest of our group found places to pull off to let the Jeep by.
Here we are at the 4W613 Upper Meadow regrouping. We are missing three TJs.
