Hi Bud,
My brother in law will be there from CA. I hope a few of the WTW folks will show. I'm looking forward to seeing your camper.

Dylan and I will be there if work doesn't get in the way. After seeing the picture of your new outfit, I'm going to have to wear something special. Can you say Lederhosen.

Silvertip-my hemorrhoid med's seem to be working-getting ready for a run out there (Ha Ha)- Just got a a bunch of new maps from Oregon BLM and that old trails book. Maps to inspire a trip for sure! Mark was saying it's probably still wet out there, need to check with him and some friends in Lakeview, but I'm game for later on this month! Next month for sure! Always wanted to check out the Trout Mtns-maybe to early, but can drive by them on the way north. We had less than 55% of our total snow pack here and I think I'll take a short trip at the end of this week up to the Lake and a quick run through the High Country-watching for the "unstucks" and testing my new batteries before taking a long trip to the Northlands!

Starting about a week from now -- and on into May -- I'll be free to go camping again. A trip to southeast Oregon would be nice, I haven't been there in several months -- New Years Day.
The Trout Creek Mts will probably not be accessible yet. That is, most of it may be snow-free, but all it takes is one big drift on a north-facing section of road to block full access.
It would be good to go out there before kids get out of school...including college kids -- i.e., before late-May.

Sounds possible, maybe we should start thinking about a meet point (campground) somewhere out there next week, where we could meet that is a day or two drive from Bend, Susanville and Boise (and for anyone else interested in doing this)-maybe even figure where to go from there, there? My only concerns are getting "unstuck" out there, Eastern Oregon is a whole new world for me to explore this time of the year, so I guess we need to give a call to the BLM and find out status of the Steens/Burns/SE Areas. We have some time to figure out the rest! Need to look at my new maps. Do we need to take this off-line to save thread space or are we Okay doing it this way?

An online discussion is fine -- promotes/invites participation of others (until it gets to the point of exchanging cell-phone numbers).
If we are going to really meet out there, are we saying that it will be next week for sure and not a later week? The following week would be better for me...

That would give it another week to dry out, which would be OK by me, I was trying to figure out how to get up to Eagle Lake for a few days to test my new Battery and some other FWC things out before heading into the wilds, so that would make it easier! Have not heard from Silvertip since he mentioned the possibility (or anyone else) of a spring rendezous in Oregon since no one really wanted to take a long trip right nowand that seemed like a good place to go! This being retired makes doing things like this allot easier than when I was working, so what ever is decided is fine by me. (gives me more time to play with my new bunch of maps)!

I'm in. I'm in. I'm in!!!!! I'll leave the time/dates up to you guys. I am very flexible. I do know it's been raining a lot and is still muddy. This weekend is 80+ but then turns to rain again next week.

Glad to hear you 're alive, was beginning to wonder if you had a bad reaction to the shots! Plan to head up to the lake for a few days, probably on Sunday, guess we can figure out the wheres etc., later next week, I hear something may be coming in late next week, typical spring weather, deal with it next week or when ever!

I did a quick loop over the past weekend to try and catch some Lyrid Meteor shower photos. Was a bust (for me anyway) as the activity seemed minimal or they always do their thing while my head is turned. We spent one night at Hart Mtn (Hot Springs CG) and one night at Pike Creek (west side of Alvord Desert). Seems very dry, with minimal snow-pack on most ranges other than High Steens. Bodes well for early trips into the high country or back-country byways without too much risk of muddied out roads. The views I had of the Pueblo Mtns and the Trout Creek/Oregon Canyon Mtns (both straddling the OR/NV border)showed very little snow patches. Flowers starting to bloom in Pike Creek drainage also - Lupine, Daggerpod, Golden Currant, Lomatium.

I received a number of phone calls and emails from folks that have been following WTW but never posted here. They say they'll be coming to OX including someone from Detroit. Could be a party goin' on.

Thanks CraggyMan-sounds real dry over there-did you come in to Hart Mtn from the Plush side? Do you mean that long up-hill grade was dry and not muddy--hmmm, was almost worried that I would have to come in from Gerlach or Adel or take 395 and drop down from Burns to get into the Steens area. I just got back from Eagle Lake-real wet and rainy there, but now it's hot and sunny here. So, Mark BC and Silvertip (an anyone else) , think a trip late this next week into that country may be still on? Later in the week, still the better for me, my water tank didn't leak, the solar panels worked fine , so the truck seems ready to go, just some spring chores to catch up on and get the sand out of the camper, and I'm out of here somewhere! Speaking about the truck, those new springs worked great out in bumps and the truck ran up and down those hills like a new baby! Keep me posted!
