Calendar H.F.A.W.H.A. Club Ride! [Jul 12, 2018] (Athol, ID)

[Plumber32]

Usually you only hear them they are pretty invisible. The time this winter Ang and got stuck and walked back we saw a big one book across the road about 10yards in front of us and then noticed other tracks in the snow. That was a little unnerving. We’re pretty use to seeing everything else. Hell we have a mama moose that her young in our yard quite often. She’s cool but they can go ape s*** at any point

What do you suppose they are saying to each other? Something like "he still doesn't have that bus going!"

We're going to have to figure out a place to all meet up before we head into the Bush. Did you say were 30 miles off the road? @CumminsPusher

It’s about that from cement depending which way in.

All it needs is a new valve in the throttle. Just don’t want to drive that big bastard at 60ft with the trailer no more. I’m over it. She’ll make the big weekends next year, one thing at a time.

Is there a truck stop or something we can all meet at and follow eachother.

Depending on time people are coming in, I could be that way Wednesday at 4:30ish. Tiger can now go in either way being a smaller rig. Working on directions for anyone that comes separate. For anyone coming in the dark like TMJM and group we should escort them in.

I'm hoping to be set up by noon and relaxing.

This spot can now be mapped. This is the easiest way in, up over Bunco rd. It may be a little longer route for some but is the shortest time on dirt and even the long haulers can get in. We have had big rigs through here so no worries. Service is very limited at about 5 miles of dirt, but will be riding to service till everyone is in.

I think if everyone goes in the same way we’ll be much better off to help eliminate any issues.
This is really big country so safety needs to be watched. The group is really good about making sure everyone is there and stopping at any intersection. NO ONE GETS LEFT BEHIND. it’s going to be an awesome weekend, kids will have a blast.

Done did it, I did. Like a bright neon blue green porch monkey swinging from the highest trees upon the tallest Idaho mountain. I will return....

I know its close and maybe faster to go into Coeur De Alene then up 95 to Athol, but I may depending on extenuating circumstances, Take the back way in like I did before up past Fernan Lake. That was a cool ride and scenic. Plus there were some old mines(?) dug into the mountain a a couple of places. Adventure awaits! Damn I've got a lot to do...
@CumminsPusher ,
1. Will we be seeing Mr Karbo and family at all? Or Derrick ?
2. Do you know if Mr. Bascom Palmer is still the MGR at Gold Creek Lodge, I'd rather not go by there myself if'n he is. I know everybody else more than likely will, but I'd rather not.
3. Will someone be reserving (like I did last year) the big area by the swimming hole we stayed at next to the airstrip?
4. Can I bring an invisible spaceship?

@100Acre
You can get in that way easier then most but Plumber is pretty short he could go too especially since you know the way in. Bunco as you know is pretty easy though.
Yes Hounddog and fam will be there (so add 4 more to list and a Pioneer) but haven’t been able to get ahold of Derrick which sucks, apparently he changed phone number.
Bascom is still manager, he is plenty courteous to patrons. We are planning to head there Friday night.
Wednesday Plumber32 will be there and sounds like you too. That will be plenty early usually. If not there are a couple other good spots in same area. I would really like that spot though, it’s the same as last year and there are kids
Please please please bring that spaceship! We could have some great shenanigans.

Ill probably still take the easy way. Even though my trailer is the Off road package with a lift. It's about 33' ball to bumper. Then the truck at 20' it's aggravating to be in tight places. Plus I think the a.c. is about 11' high.

Ditto on easy way in!

You guys need to buy a shorter truck camper to get into some adventurous terrain....Then break out the SXS...

I had a real nice 8' hard side before the toyhauler. Was nice but needed more camper with 3 kids.
