Just checked Google Maps, the only roads along that portion of the river are dirt roads.

Besides, that route doesn't allow Gunter to swim in Pateros :)

I wonder if he'll appreciate pictures of him swiming posted here on Pelican?

dirt roads = easy drifting ?!?

we saw a demo of that at the ALMS in Portland. i think i will try to keep my bumpers on, thank youhttp://www.pelicanparts.com/support/smileys/wat5.gif

I hear it's even easier in the snow...;)

only when one is trying to knock the ice off the wiperbladeshttp://www.pelicanparts.com/support/smileys/elklaff.gif

Man, now that one was harsh even for a waterpumper :D http://www.smileys.ws/sm/action/00000060.gif

how about fresh snow on top of black ice? :)

Just a weather update here in Central Washington:
About 2 hours ago a HUGE dust storm blew in and blacked out the sun. Wierd, Weird, Weird, it sprinkled a little and the wind blew pretty hard.
About 1/2 hour ago we got absolutely socked in with SMOKE.
Somewhere CLOSE a fire has popped up- I worked on a USFS fire crew for several years and this is what it was like when we were ON the fire. No mistake, its close, I'm having flashbacks!! I dont know if that changes the plans for the drive tomorrow, the weather itself should be fine. I'll post more info as I get it and if it should put a wrinnkle in any of the plans.

hmmmm, shades of April. hey Island, post some pics

Maybe it'll scare all the deer away before we get there. I'd be happy about that...

Oh well... you know, I've got no problem winging it tomorrow, so if things change, they change, and it's no skin off my back.

Unless it's on fire, but then that's a totally different story.

Allright, through my endless secret connections (the radio) I was informed it's a false alarm.
Well, no biggie anyway, a small grass fire and some good wind blew the *cough* smoke right through town.
All clear now, I think I see meteors acually..... and I have an insider scoop that the road from Twisp to Pateros is one windy SOB in some places.
Bring it on.
