I guess we will just use this as a destination and go from there. I have a feeling we will hit snow, but it will be fun anyway getting out of town.

I'm still looking at going. I'm just watching the weather, it looks like rain most of the week.

Date: Saturday March 8, 2014
Time: 7:30am
Meet Place: Sunrise Cafe, Federal Way, Hwy 21
Destination: Danskin Lake, mountain, lookout
Estimated Duration: 1/2 day +
Distance/Time One Way: 44.11 mi : 1:30 (hr:min)

Ok, looking forward to the weekend. Looks like light showers the next two days and then dry with 60 degrees for Saturday! Should be a great day for sights and should allow the road to dry up some.

I was hoping to get my distributor conversion done before this trip but I do not think it will happen unless I get some time Friday.

So to make this trip a little more interesting and extended I will plan to take the back route using the old Oregon Trail Route that goes behind Micron to Bonneville Point. That is if it is still open for vehicle travel. Been some time since I have been on this trail. We will then head out Blacks Creek to Mayfield Road and then to Danskin Lookout Road. This will be a nice scenic windy route. We will also pass through the old town of Mayfield.

Mayfield: A dry-farming area. Originally named Corder, for a pioneer family who ran a stage station from 1865 to 1887 about 6 mi NE of the present site. Post office, 1883-. Renamed Mayfield in 1887, for the second postmaster, Arthur Mayfield.

Depending on our moods and time we can extend this trip to a couple other nearby locations.

I am updating this post to it's own thread. http://www.fsjnetwork.com/forum/viewtop ... =37&t=5220

Hey, great trip last weekend.

I am looking at making another attempt on March 29. Danskin Peak Part 2 Saturday March 29, 2014. If any are interested let me know. OHVs will be allowed on the nearby trails in April and then everyone will be out and about.

I think that this one will have to be canceled. I've been down with the flu for 6 days and am just now starting to feel human again. Put me way behind with things around the house this last weekend. Work may want me to work this weekend to make up time. Sorry,

I'm not going to make any more outings until I get back from Moab. Too much to do between now and then. After I get back I will be ready for lots of overnight trips too.

Didn't make it out. With the rainy weather and being solo I decided against it. I'm hopping for better weather this weekend. That way I can get some better shots.

Probably a good call. I might be up for a trip back up in a couple weeks. This week is pretty full due to being ill for two weekends. Lots to catch up with.
