July 19/2009 @ Harrison West
In Attendance:
Indir & Chris - Ford Explorer (beige)
Mike & Tammy - Ford Ranger (beige)
My truck is still out of commission, so I rode shotgun with Indir and his Explorer. I have to admit that I haven't wheeled as a passenger
for well over fifteen years, so this was a different experience for me. Mike and Indir wanted to check out Lookout Lake as the snow
turned them around a few months ago. I mentioned that there was a great lookout near the lake that had a very overgrown trail, so we
checked that out also. We had a bbq at the look out, then ventured over to Chehalis to check it out. All in all it was a good day.
Airing down at the hatchery.
Heading to Lookout Lake.

There were a couple of guys fishing off the shore.
Time to leave.
We stopped on the West side of the look-out to check out the view.

You should have heard the snarl if we stepped to close.
Now that's roughing it.

Found and impassible washout on the way towards Statlu Lake.
Heading out.
Mike was in 2wd because of a missing axle-joint cap.
He was doing just fine.

Hi-centred on the rear diff. A couple of rocks under
the tires and a good push and he was in the clear.
Indir's turn.
