camping this weekend for the people in the NW 26-27th
ok here we go. the plan is to go saturday morning to the spot, camp and come home the next day. Meet up at 1030am in issiquah at the krispy kreme and leave by 11. If for some reason you were late and couldnt make it to the krispy kreme and we ditched you then here are the directions:
take I-90 east go over the pass then
Take Hwy. 903 (North) exit 80 from I-90 towards the city of Roslyn.
Past Roslyn 903 changes name to Salmon La Sac Road (just East of the lake). This is a nice two lane paved road with beautiful scenery and a slow speed limit
It goes a while I think maybe 15 miles past several campgrouds.
Name changes again to CleElum Valley Road but I never saw any signs of this change.
Any way, this road continues and drives into a little forest park – continue past the restrooms that will be on your right.
There is a Y in the road and you stay to the right on the Y. This is a gravel road that sucks and goes for a long way.
About 6.9 miles up this road you will turn to the right and enter the official legal marked trails. This is shortly (maybe 500 yards) after the second bridge. you head up the trail, which is really easy and towards the end you will come to some open gravel areas on a riverbank, and proceed past that, then crawl up the hill and you are back on a road, turn right, go thru a gate i think, and there is another trail on the left.. keep a sharp eye out for it but its within 400 yards or so of exiting the first trail so if you dont see it just turn around and go back and look for it. anyways this trail goes right up to the lake, at one point there is a Y in the trail. it doesnt matter which way you go they both join up again later and the lake is after it.
we will have dirtbikes with us hopefully so after we setup camp we will prolly go screw around and head back to the river area just in case you are lost and need help. its gonna be fun and i really hope you guys can go.
here is the river area:
here is our destination

"...then crawl up the hill and you are back on a road, turn right, go thru a gate i think, and there is another trail on the left.. keep a sharp eye out for it but its within 400 yards or so of exiting the first trail so if you dont see it just turn around and go back and look for it."
crawl up the hill as you watch out for possible motorcycles - turn right, no gate is here, proceed over the bridge with the water flowing very rapidly underneath. 400 yards or so continue down to the marked trail - 4W01. This one is in the middle.
I will look for a Map.
