Hey everyone - let's start planning the full South to North WABDR run
Time: 0900 Friday August 16 until August 22 (roughly) - please note the change in start date
Meet-Up: Toll House Park on the Oregon side of Bridge of the Gods
Who: I've got five confirmed trucks (as of 7/31/19). Including 5 dogs (!).
Route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/30659388?privacy_code=7O5xx1F6fuFZR8KU
Scenario: I'm personally planning on running the whole WABDR. If folks want to come and go off the route, that's fine with me. If you want to join the group later in the route, find my location here on this link and come meet us.

Vehicle Equipment: All-terrain rated tires are mandatory. Front and rear recovery points are mandatory. Bring a tow strap, snatch recovery strap and a 3/4 inch rated bow shackle. A full size spare tire is mandatory. A reliable, high clearance vehicle that you are familiar with is mandatory.
Communication: 2m Ham 146.460, if you are not licensed, let me know and we will sort it
Camping: In my experience, most of the good remote campsites on this route are 'dry', so bring a way to carry water.
Gas: There are plenty of towns with gas stations on and off the WABDR. I think the longest stretch with no gas is about 150 miles or so.
Wish I could manage this trip, however I am booked solid! Next year count me in!
Trudog, We are doing from Eburg to twisp in early sept if that works for you.
@Mark and Vicki Lennox Mark I will see you Vicki and Lucy next Saturday and in early September!
We are scheduled for Dans cook off, then we are doing WBDR from hiway 90 up to hwy 20 at twisp early sept. Too bad we cant combine them. Have fun n be safe.
Scott, thanks bunches for stepping up and heading up this trip!
Yes a huge shoutout to Scott for filling the void to make this one happen!
@Trudog Kitt ! I just now figured out that ‘Trudog’ is you ! Have a great Summer
We are planning on running the entire route. Our dog Spike (bichon frise) will also tag along.
Thanks to Scott for stepping up to make this trip a reality.
We are out of Edmonds, would anyone be interested in driving south in a caravan?
I'm going to drive down Thursday night - feel free to hit me up if you want to drive down
Scott we are going to do the same, drive down Thursday evening. I will DM you my cell phone number so we can suss it out. Thanks! Kevin
Okay - I'm thinking about camping at Marine Park campground very close by. Quiet place, I've camped there before.
Just booked a site at Marine Park. We'll head down Thursday night too, not sure what time yet.
Reservation number if you need it - 509.637.6911
I've reserved a spot for myself at Marine Park CG and will be headed down from Seattle approx. 2PM on Thursday 8/15. I'm happy to rally with anybody that wants to leave around that time. Can't wait to get the hell out of this town for a while.
Hi Scott, we reserved camping spot # 14. We will rally down there with you. We are in Edmonds, let's meet up and get out of dodge around 2.
I sent you a FB message about Meetup in Seattle before heading South on Thursday
Hey we found a decent spot to camp off section 4. Antilon Lake Campground it's a bit off the trail but there are two ways to get back on the trail one that I tested. The other is untested. Happy to send GPS if you guys want.
