Gallaher Lake 4x4 trail was a success!

Started the day in Issaquah with Punchinpaper, Bushman, 19-Kilo meeting up for the drive to Roslyn, WA to meet with Ramathorn178. Weather was typical PNW fall time some light and heavy showers with breaks between. Got a clean group photo before heading out Salmon La Sac rd up to the trail head NF-160. Just before the rd turned to dirt we all stopped and checked things over and chatted with the local sheriff (which I was following up the Salmon La Sac for about 10 miles at the speed limit) He turned out to be very informative about the area we were going up and was impressed that we were going to take our expensive trucks off road on a jeep trail. We left the pavement and headed on the forest road to the trail head, then started our climb up the mountain to Gallaher Lake.

Awesome group to meet and off road with and a big thanks to everybody that spotted on the way up and down! No major damage was done.

Enjoy the pics.

Nice trip. Don't imagine there's anything high speed there. Might be up there in February.

Slower pace for sure but we got to see what these trucks are capable of. Not just the desert runnuers they are portrayed as. 4low, diff locked, ORM and hill decent were all utilized. There were a group of jeepers on the way up that we passed the one I spoke with had a slight jaw drop when he say all of us coming up. They caught up later and I'm sure they were probably a little earatated at our pace (but who cares after all it's about being out and enjoying America) we final found a spot to let them go around. Then on the way down we flew passed them. The way down was a lot faster:)

I will try and get our photos posted up as well. I got to pry them from the grip of my camera woman :)

It was pretty cool to run this trail, I learned a lot about the capabilities of the truck.
