    Some people definitely “arrive” early and some people stay late, some people come and go as the please…..

    I’m not bold enough to leave Sunday; I’d need some xylazene and someone else driving to be that bold…..

    Deception Pass is one of my all-time favorite spots. Used to enjoy visiting my friend when he lived in Oak Harbor.

    That spot is pretty sweet, I’ve gone hiking down there and walked across the bridge. It’s starting to warm up here, breaching 50 degrees. We’re still getting powder days too

    Who’s been to that spot before? Are there any trees tall enough to park under?

    IMG_0369.png

    Is it like the cinders, where you can camp pretty much anywhere?

    Yes, there are big trees in the area.

    upload_2025-3-6_10-35-39.jpg

    National Forest lets you camp anywhere within for free for 14 days before you have to move to a new spot.

    @KevinK will let us know if we have any restrictions - usually you’re supposed to camp at least 100 yards from a watering hole and drive primarily on established trails.

    You can hike into the woods and tent camp anywhere. vehicles normally have to stay near the "approved" forest roads

    Well for those of us who will be camping with our RTTs that could be very bad. Though I am guessing we will be fine.
