Took my Raptor around the North Cascade Loop. 435 miles.

Done that loop a few times myself! Awesome trip. You need to hit the N Cascade Hwy just after they open it for the spring:IMG_2049.JPG IMG_2039.JPG IMG_2042.JPG

They usually have a mini party there once WashDOT announces the 'official' opening. People get the the gate hours ahead of the opening. The lady in the last pic, Tootsie Clark, used to make a bunch of cinnamon rolls to bring up for the hwy workers and other ppl to munch on before the gate opens. She passed a few years ago, but at least in '18 her kids kept the tradition going. I didn't make it in '19, and of course this year was different. Not sure if the party will happen in '21 or not, but the 'first day' should still be a special event.

100% going to do that in spring. This my third time this year. Blizzard at Washington Pass. I also like to find the PCT thru hikers and give them $20. Thanks for the tip.

Well question ... is this convoy eastbound?

Yep, headed Eastbound. Probably a similar setup on the Eastside heading West, never gone to that one.

If I'm off work that day, will def' do the '21. See ya there!

If u do another run this year, PM me. Maybe we'll make a Raptor convoy!

Ultra slim led

Wired It to the existing console light ( below the tray)

Might add a pressure switch to it but overall definitely helps when I’m fumbling at night looking for something .
