Last year was a bust due to Tillamook closing the trails due to fire danger.
Since it's raining fairly steady today, I'm sure we won't have that problem this
year.

Friday has always been the "Tillamook trail ride", this year I'd like to do the
same. Anyone interested?

Where: Browns camp, Tillamook state forest

When: Friday Aug 21st Meet @ 9am, depart @ 10am

Trails: Powerline, Cedar tree, Hogs back, Archer's then a caravan back to
Sheridan.

Hmmm.  I'll look into that.

What was supposed to be a mini Syncro Safari to the Sierras ended up being

Syncro Safari to the Sierras ended up being  a lot like my first sexual
experience--<WBR>-I was all alone! Was supposed to  hook up with Bill around 5pm
at
Portal Forebay over the Kaiser Pass road above  Huntington Lake. Left Sunday
morning hoping to dodge traffic (hah!), then got  stuck on the 5 for over an
hour due to a brush fire in Castaic. It was  unbelievably hot in the
valley, and I was over two hours late getting there,  and there was no sign of
Bill (multiple car problems on the drive up the  mountain, as I found out
later). It was still warm but very nice at the little  lake, and I got my
favorite campsite. I tied on my favorite lure and caught a  couple of trout
while
listening for familiar-sounding engines chugging up the  road. I'd been to
this area many times to fish and camp with my daughter. This  improbable
one-lane road was cut back in the '30's to build Edison and  Florence lakes.
It's
open about 5 months a year, and is off most people's  radar screens. It's
drop-dead gorgeous, and a great place to hang (free  camping, alas, is no
more. This year, they're charging a whopping $16/night  for the few spots in
no-reservation unimproved campgrounds (no water, pit  toilets). You can still
camp for free elsewhere, but need a wilderness permit,  and supposedly, no
fires). In all the years I've been coming up here, I'd  never really explored
the off-road potential of the area, and the purpose of  the trip was to see
what was beyond the blacktop. AND---lurking at the top of  the Kaiser pass
was the ass end of the infamous Dusy/Ershim trail ("makes the  Rubicon look
like a 4-lane highway" according to 4-Wheeler). Being alone put a  serious
crimp in any plans for exploration, however. I spent part of Monday  driving
to the other campgrounds looking for a bilious shade of green Syncro,  and
took a few jeep trails but I was miles from anybody and didn't feel like
pressing my luck. I did drive the Bear Creek Diversion road, which I had been
over before---m ost of the way in granny gear, fun but not challenging. In
the  late afternoon, I got back to my campsite and got into some fabulous
trout  fishing before the sun went down. I decided to pack up and head home
Tuesday,  with the idea of scouting areas for possible Syncro meets. Vermillion
is nice,  but it's at the end of the line at Edison Lake. Ward Lake is
gorgeous, but has  very few campsites, and they always seem to be filled. I
checked out Sample  Meadows on the way out, but was unimpressed. At the summit
of the Kaiser Pass  is a sign reading White Bark Vista, which I knew was
where the Dusy/Ershim  terminated. Well, I was here anyway, let's see exactly
what the deal is. My  GPS read 9660 feet when I got to the look-out point, a
stunning 360-degree  panorama of everwhere I'd just been. There's supposed to
be a gate at the  trailhead, but I didn't see it. There was, however, a
pucker-factor 4 upgrade  that looked like it went somewhere. There wasn't a
soul around, and it was  five miles back to the blacktop, but I just had to see
what the thing looked  like. I scooted up rocks OK, and found the gate
about half a mile up the  trail. The trees surrounding the end of the run make
it look like the opening  of some kind of gnarly cave. I walked the first
part of the trail and came  upon an immediate deal-breaker, about a 30-inch

Danny & others,

We'll be at  Atkisson Group Camp, about 7 miles west of Trout Lake
Washington. It  appears that Trout Lake isn't even a real town, but at
least it's  a
fork in the road that's recognized by Google Maps.

Trout Lake is  about 22 miles north of White Salmon on the north side of
the
Columbia  River gorge.

We'll be out most days, so stopping by "Camp Syncro"  around dinner time
would probably be best to meet some Syncronauts  and join us at the
campfire.

Regards,

Jim Davis

Jim,
Do you know if  a Washington  offroad vehicle permit is required anywhere
we
will be  adventuring? Oregon  requires them & I have one, but not for
Washington. I could not see  anything on the G.P forest website. Let  me
know if
you found anything out  about it.

Danny & others,

We'll be at Atkisson Group Camp, about 7 miles west of Trout Lake
Washington. It appears that Trout Lake isn't even a real town, but at least it's
a
fork in the road that's recognized by Google Maps.

Trout Lake is about 22 miles north of White Salmon on the north side of the
  Columbia River gorge.

We'll be out most days, so stopping by "Camp Syncro" around dinner time
would probably be best to meet some Syncronauts and join us at the  campfire.

Regards,

Jim Davis

Jim,
Do you know if a Washington  offroad vehicle permit is required anywhere we
will be adventuring? Oregon  requires them & I have one, but not for
Washington. I could not see  anything on the G.P forest website. Let me know if
you found anything out  about it.

Here in Oregon, if you are offroad in public lands, an ORV permit is required,
but I never needed one in Northern Wa. I could not find anything about an ORV
pass for this forest anywhere either, but I do know that for parking at
trailheads, etc. in the G.P Forest areas, a NW Forest pass will be required. One
per vehicle. I think we won't need them at the campground, but on the day trips
out, we might. Those should be available at the ranger station. Details here:
http://www.fs.fed.us/gpnf/04passes/

Jim, have you split up the duties for Taco Night yet?
See y'all soon,
David K

I've seen permits are only required for non-street legal vehicles  like

certain motorcycles and ATVs.

To Winson in Portland, Oregon.



As for the problem you had with the smoke in your engine compartment,   I had
the exact same thing happen to me and it was the air conditioning compressor
freezing up.  I took a knife and cut the a/c belt and the problem went away.  I
too caught mine before the belt actually burned in half and it was also
screeching really loudly.  Dan Harvey from  Salem, Or.

Hi Winson,
This sounds like something hard to diagnose via email. I'd have it towed to one
of the great shops in town, Heckman, A&P or even Halsey. It's probably simple,
but it could be a fuel line, so be careful.

This list is not so much an advice list, but more of an offroad trip planning
list. Are you a Wetwesties member yet? They love to give advice over there &
actually have some traffic, unlike this more specific list.
Good luck,
David

Hi,

   I need help!  I was just getting my 86 Westfalia (2.1 liter, water cooled)
ready for a camping trip on Wednesday and turned on the air conditioner for the
first time in a long time. It ran fine for about 5 minutes then I noticed smoke
coming out the outside rear vents.  I immediately shut off the engine.  The
smoke subsided, but now the van will not start.  It sounds like screeching
banshees and does not turn over.  I lifted the engine cover and noticed some
fluid spray on some of the hoses towards the front (opposite the oil fill cap)
of the motor.  All the belts are intact and show no signs of damage.  No signs
of burnt starter or other essential parts.
   Any guesses to as what just happened?  Don't think I'll be taking the van
camping...: (

I have an 86 syncro with sunroof with a 2.2 subaru installed..  The install was
done by Leon Korkin who did a detailed and masterful job of installing the
engine.  He came to my home in Moab in late fall and worked under less than
ideal conditions.  when it came time for the engine to be started no luck and it
got cold and he had to delay completion to return to CA.
Here's is what I have done with my limited ability to get the car to run:  New
battery and starter.  Engine is getting fuel to the injector with 36 #s of
pressure.  spark plugs are firing and there is power to the injector.  I suspect
the injectors are not getting fuel for some reason but am not sure how to check
as I can't seem to get the injectors out to test.
I am frustrated as I have spent thousands on this conversion with new tranny
rebuild, decoupler and many' many new parts.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hello SyncroNuts!

Here's the reminder registration  announcement and  further information for
Syncro Safari, Mount St.  Helens '09 coming up July 26 -  August 1, 2009.

Registration will  open TOMORROW, FRIDAY, MAY 22. Read on. The
registration
process is  described below and registration will open in  1  week. There
have been a number of people inquiring about attending this trip and   I've
told everyone so far that registration is not yet open and no spots  are
held.

REGISTRATION WILL BE OPEN ON FRIDAY, MAY 22 at 12 NOON  PACIFIC  TIME.

LOCATION
------------------
Syncro Safari,  Mount St.  Helens '09 is near Mount St. Helens, in
southwest
Washington. More specifically  it is in the Gifford Pinchot National
Forest
which occupies the region between  Mount St. Helens and Mt.  Adams. This
area has a lot of recreation and site  seeing to offer as  well as
4-wheeling.
Of course it's a very interesting  geologic  area.

SYNCRO SAFARI IS FAMILY   FRIENDLY
----------------------------------------------------------
Syncro   Safari is not a bash our Syncros "guy's only" event. It's intended
to  allow you  to get to know other Syncronauts and their families while
doing some fun  4-wheeling and exploring interesting places. So,  bring the
family! Right now I  know of one 10 year old girl and one  12 year old girl
that
I'm   bringing.

ITINERARY
------------------
The event will be   Sunday, July 26 to Saturday, August 1.
Here's the preliminary  schedule:
-  Sunday, July 26 Arrive, set up camp, meet new  friends
- Monday, July 27 4x4  Trip!
- Tuesday, July 28 Open day,  free for individual recreation, Taco Night
Potluck
- Wednesday,  July 29 4x4 Trip!
- Thursday, July 30 Open day, free  for individual  recreation
- Friday, July 31 4x4 Trip!
- Saturday, Aug 1  Say  goodbyes and head home

CAMPING &   COSTS:
-----------------------------
The campsite reserved for   Syncro Safari, Mount St. Helens '09 is in the
Gifford Pinchot National  Forest  southeast of Mount St. Helens in the
Trout
Lake area. It's a  large group site in  a wooded area that can accommodate
a
large  group.

There is a paved road  to the Atkisson Group Camp and in  the winter it's a
snow park. It has a small shelter and toilet. Two large  paved parking lots
with lots of room. Flat terrain  for hiking or  biking. 2,700 Ft.
elevation.
Numerous activities include  biking,  hiking, berry and mushroom picking in
season. Near Guler Ice Cave.  The  site has a toilet, picnic table and fire
ring. There is no  electricity or water  at the site. Water is available at
a
nearby  campground 2.5 miles  away.

More info is at:
_http://www.fs.http://www.fhttp://www.http://www.fhttp://www.fs.http://www._

(http://www.fs.fed.us/gpnf/recreation/campgrounds/sites/atkisson-group.shtml
)

and
_http://www.recreatihttp://www.recrhttp://wwhttp://www.recrehttp://wwwhttp:/
/www.rehttp&parkId=parkI&topTabIndex=CampingSpot_
(http://www.recreation.gov/camping/Atkisson_Wa/r/campgroundDetails.do?contra
ctCode=NRSO&parkId=71571&t
opTabIndex=CampingSpot)

Cost of the campsite at Atkisson is $429 which I have paid for  in
advance.
Although allowing for up to 10 Syncros, I'm creating a  "break-even"  point
for me at 7 Syncros including mine. This means  the camping cost is $429/7
=
$61 per Syncro. This is for the 6  nights arriving July 26, departing
August
1.  If we get less than 7  Syncros, I will accept the loss and if there are
more than  7, I will  apply the funds toward something to enhance the
Syncro
Safari event.   Camping fees are not refundable. This is not a profitable
operation  for  me.

4x4 ROUTES
---------------------
Syncro Safari  routes  provide "mild to moderate" 4-wheeling which a stock
Syncro  with off-road tires  can accomplish. This will be family friendly
and
provide little chance for  damaging your Syncro. The specific routes
selected will be chosen not just for  4-wheeling but also scenery,
historic
interest, geologic interest, and hopefully  a feature or two  such as a
view, a
lake, a peak, a pass, or other feature to add   interest to the trail.

Routes have not yet been selected but this year  I  expect the routes to be
more on the "mild" side rather than  "moderate" This area  is not know for
major 4-wheeling but I'm sure  we'll have a lot of fun.

POT LUCK DINNER -   TUESDAY
-------------------------------------------------
You'll   need to provide for all your own food except on Tuesday evening,
July 28th  we'll  coordinate our efforts and have a group Taco Night
Potluck
dinner to share.  Once registration is done, we'll arrange this so  that we
don't all bring  dessert. Hmmm, maybe that wouldn't be a bad  thing. :-)

OTHER NEARBY   ACTIVITIES:
---------------------------------------------
There's   plenty to do in the area while we're not 4-wheeling including:
Hiking,  Fishing,  Biking, Napping, Rock collecting, Sleeping, Running,
Bird
watching,  Canoeing/Kayaking, Boat rentals, Snoozing, Site seeing,
repairing
your Syncro  :-(

WEATHER
-----------------
Weather  in southwest Washington  is fairly warm and clear in late July.
For
this trip  I've opted to  spring for the Premium Weather Package so here's
what to   expect:

- Monday, 7-26: Highs: Low 80's Overnight lows: Low 50's   Clear,   Rain: 0%
- Tuesday, 7-27: Highs: Mid 80's Overnight  lows:  Mid 50's Scattered
Clouds,   Rain: 5%
-  Wednesday, 7-28: Highs: Low  80's Overnight lows: Upper 40's Scattered
Clouds,   Rain: 5%
-  Thursday, 7-29: Highs: High 70's  Overnight lows: Mid 40's Clear,
Rain:
0%
- Friday, 7-30:  Highs: High 70's Overnight lows: Low 50's  Clear,   Rain:
1%

The Premium Package costs a bit more, but  it's usually worth  it!
OK, I can't actually order specific weather - but I'm hoping   descriptions
above should be close.   :-)

REGISTRATION
------------------------
Registration is   not yet open, but will be done as described below.
A maximum of 10 Syncros  will be permitted on this trip.

Registering  for the Syncro  Safari, Mount St. Helens ’09 is done in five
not-so-easy   steps:

1. Check out the information about this trip in this email  and  past
Syncro
Safaris at the web site:  _http://www.SyncroSahttp://w_
(http://www.syncrosafari.com/)
Please  disregard that the web site is terribly out of date and it  appears
that "Moab  '08" is still in the future. Decide that you'd  like to have a
great time and  attend. Phone me if you'd like at  626-673-7632.

2. Tell me via email at  _SyncroHead@SyncroH_  (mailto:SyncroHead@...)
anytime after  12 Noon pacific time  on Friday, May 22.
Let me know that you would like to attend and you want  one of the 10
spots.

3. If a spot is still available, I will let  you know and email you  the
following and hold your spot for 1 week:
A. Registration Form to  complete and sign
B. "Bring List -  Personal Items"
C.  "Bring List - 4x4 Items"
D. "Don't Bring  List"
E. My  mailing address

4. You print and complete the  Registration Form and mail  (old fashioned “
snail” mail) me two  things: a completed Registration Form, and  your share
of
the camping  fees ($61.00).

5. I will email you confirmation  that I’ve  received your form and camping
fee and that your spot is   secured.

Please   disregard the overall status of the web site which according to
the
main  page,  we have not yet done the Moab '08 event. Of course we have,
but
I seem to be  more successful at actually coordinating the events  than
updating web pages  about them.

Hope to see you  there!

(http://www.recreation.gov/camping/Atkisson_Wa/r/campgroundDetails.do?contractCo\
de=NRSO&parkId=71571&t
opTabIndex=CampingSpot)

Cost of the campsite at Atkisson is $429 which I have paid for in  advance.
Although allowing for up to 10 Syncros, I'm creating a "break-even"  point
for me at 7 Syncros including mine. This means the camping cost is $429/7  =
$61 per Syncro. This is for the 6 nights arriving July 26, departing August
1.  If we get less than 7 Syncros, I will accept the loss and if there are
more than  7, I will apply the funds toward something to enhance the Syncro
Safari event.  Camping fees are not refundable. This is not a profitable
operation for  me.

4x4 ROUTES
---------------------
Syncro Safari routes  provide "mild to moderate" 4-wheeling which a stock
Syncro with off-road tires  can accomplish. This will be family friendly and
provide little chance for  damaging your Syncro. The specific routes
selected will be chosen not just for  4-wheeling but also scenery, historic
interest, geologic interest, and hopefully  a feature or two such as a view, a
lake, a peak, a pass, or other feature to add  interest to the trail.

Routes have not yet been selected but this year I  expect the routes to be
more on the "mild" side rather than "moderate" This area  is not know for
major 4-wheeling but I'm sure we'll have a lot of fun.

POT LUCK DINNER -  TUESDAY
-------------------------------------------------
You'll  need to provide for all your own food except on Tuesday evening,
July 28th we'll  coordinate our efforts and have a group Taco Night Potluck
dinner to share.  Once registration is done, we'll arrange this so that we
don't all bring  dessert. Hmmm, maybe that wouldn't be a bad thing. :-)

OTHER NEARBY  ACTIVITIES:
---------------------------------------------
There's  plenty to do in the area while we're not 4-wheeling including:
Hiking, Fishing,  Biking, Napping, Rock collecting, Sleeping, Running, Bird
watching,  Canoeing/Kayaking, Boat rentals, Snoozing, Site seeing, repairing
your Syncro  :-(

WEATHER
-----------------
Weather  in southwest Washington is fairly warm and clear in late July. For
this trip  I've opted to spring for the Premium Weather Package so here's
what to  expect:

- Monday, 7-26: Highs: Low 80's Overnight lows: Low 50's  Clear,   Rain: 0%
- Tuesday, 7-27: Highs: Mid 80's Overnight lows:  Mid 50's Scattered
Clouds,   Rain: 5%
- Wednesday, 7-28: Highs: Low  80's Overnight lows: Upper 40's Scattered
Clouds,   Rain: 5%
-  Thursday, 7-29: Highs: High 70's Overnight lows: Mid 40's Clear,   Rain:
0%
- Friday, 7-30: Highs: High 70's Overnight lows: Low 50's  Clear,   Rain: 1%

The Premium Package costs a bit more, but  it's usually worth it!
OK, I can't actually order specific weather - but I'm hoping  descriptions
above should be close.  :-)

REGISTRATION
------------------------
Registration is  not yet open, but will be done as described below. A
maximum of 10 Syncros will  be permitted on this trip.

Registering for the Syncro Safari, Mount St.  Helens ’09 is done in five
not-so-easy steps:

1. Check out the  information about this trip in this email and past Syncro
Safaris at the web  site: _http://www.SyncroSahttp://w_
(http://www.SyncroSafari.com)
Please  disregard that the web site is terribly out of date and it appears
that "Moab  '08" is still in the future. Decide that you'd like to have a
great time and  attend. Phone me if you'd like at 626-673-7632.

2. Tell me via email at  _SyncroHead@SyncroH_ (mailto:SyncroHead@...)
anytime after  12 Noon pacific time on Friday, May 22. Let me know that you
would like to  attend and you want one of the 10 spots.

3. If a spot is still available,  I will let you know and email you the
following and hold your spot for 1 week:
A. Registration Form to complete and sign
B. "Bring List -  Personal Items"
C. "Bring List - 4x4 Items"
D. "Don't  Bring List"
E. My mailing address

4. You print and complete  the Registration Form and mail (old fashioned “
snail” mail) me two things: a  completed Registration Form, and your share of
the camping fees  ($61.00).

5. I will email you confirmation that I’ve received your form  and camping
fee and that your spot is secured.

Please  disregard the overall status of the web site which according to the
main page,  we have not yet done the Moab '08 event. Of course we have, but
I seem to be  more successful at actually coordinating the events than
updating web pages  about them.

Hope to see you there!

The Urban Safari is this coming Sunday, April 5th.

Where:  West end of N. Baltimore ave Portland Oregon. In front of the
         boat ramp, under the St. Johns bridge.

When:  10am departure time

How long?: Estimated duration is 2 hours.

Where does it end?:  Lucky Labrador Brew pub 1945 NW Quimby st.

See you there!

Brian,

Many, many hours of research.  Internet, books, mapping software, and  paper
maps. Last week I got in the mail a package of maps I ordered for the  Gifford
Pinchot National Forest, the Mt. Adams Ranger District, the Cowlitz  Valley
Ranger District, and the Mt. St. Helens National Volcanic Monument.   I love
maps and they're essential to the planning.  Knowing how to navigate  the
National Forest and the Recreation.gov web sites is also pretty important as 
well
as good Google search skills!  :-)

Also, enlisting the help of locals can be very beneficial.  In 1999  the
Kirks in Montana were very helpful for the Yellowstone '99 trip. In 2000  people
from the Mammoth Lakes 4x4 community were instrumental for that years  event.
More recently, Larry Chase was a big help with Tombstone '06 and  Craig Spaeth
in southwestern Washington is helping with this year's  adventure.

I do have a lot of fun planning these, but it is also quite time  consuming.

Jim
