Thread: Camping

Upper Vista camp above Wynoochee Lake, WA. We can't get up there anymore. The fire road has become so over grown it is not passable now.

[edit1 to add 3,200 ft above the lake]

Went canoeing with a friend yesterday. Our campout turned into a day trip because the river was almost up to the campsite.


Upriver

By the looks of that river bank, I wouldn't want to be camping on that beach if a storm was coming! Looks like a good relaxing trip, I don't have a canoe, often thought about getting one of those stand up paddle boards though...
Thanks for sharing!

I've thought about one too! Wish they weren't so dang expensive! If I didn't like it, would be an expensive learning experience.

There's some guy on eBay that sells plans to build a SUP and I've thought about purchasing them and trying my hand at building one....

Chris,
If you do get the plans, let me know how it goes. My problem would be to have enough room to let things cure if it's a fiberglass or wood design and you are working with epoxies

Here's what I was looking at, quite a bit cheaper to build one. Just need the space and time lol
Build A Hollow Wooden Stand Up Paddleboard Wood Sup Surfboard Plans Blueprints | eBay

Costs ROUGHLY $200 to build. If I had the room and patience I would go for it, but I lack in either department...so if I get one I will go ahead and pick up one from Academy or the sorts. I'll spend roughly $200 more, but save the frustrations. Would most likely require me to get more tools like a planer & in the end cost me more.

I can't say that I'm not interested though as the nicer boards can easily run a grand. Would make a cool winter project in a heated shop...

Well for a few hundred more I'd save my self some frustration and buy one too.

Trimmy,


I grew up outside of Columbus Ohio. We spent a lot of time there as kids. My parents still go all the time. I live in California now so I only get to go with thin every couple years. If you ever have some free time you should go check out the bucket from the " Big Musky". It was the bucket from the biggest land drag ever built. I was fortunate enough to see it when it was still a machine but the bucket is pretty impressive as well. Happy camping.
