if you all find a snow dancer that works maybe I could borrow it as we only have about 5 inches of coverage here it just sucks. I have equipment and can't work it.

Yes, pull your signs and lights and go. My company moves hundreds of oversize loads a year, they don't care about a snow cat behind a pickup truck.
Just don't stop at someone that spun out .They will point at you and say I swerved to avoid him.
you can wait till the traction tire sign is down. Then go with the permit.
you are required to stop at all scales. So flag and after dark put lights on it. I know of a good place to park your trailer if you have to leave it in Leavenworth.
I spent a lot of time at the DOT talking with them. They said it is a state law and are required to enforce it.
This is how I fixed mine. Was New $15000 tracks
I don't recall there being a pass between Leavenworth and the unload site. Or did I read this wrong?
How dose Big Al feel about that !

We're going to come for the day on Friday to meet some people and check out some cats. Leaving ours at home though, just a quick get out of work trip.
Sorry guys ...... Just too much going on here at the old place . I will continue to work on getting the KT7 up and running but with the jamboree fast approaching there is not enough hours in the day to finish everything and make it this year .
Seems like every time I start to work on it , something comes up and I have to take care of business .

The forecast for Leavenworth is 50 degrees and sunny for the 24th. Bring your lawn chairs and Hawaiian shirts.
Well, lets hope for a miracle...
I'll be sure to bring enough shish-kebab to keep everyone busy eating on Saturday... LOL
P.s. Anyone got an official count on how many people up to this point plan on attending for SURE? would make it easy to prepare food at more exact proportion...
The forecast for Leavenworth is for 0% chance of rain through Saturday, 20% on Sunday and 60% on Monday. But this is Washington; anything can happen.
I have a friend who has a cabin up the Chumstick highway near the eagle Creek turnoff. He wrote that there is no snow, except a little in the shade. Not looking good.

what elevation was that report?
I am driving over and back sunday to see for myself. I'll be going to the trailhead it is little higher than town. hopefully burt the groomer operator will be home and I can get a trail update.
Nick said earlier he planned on doing the same.
the local snowmobile club usually post pictures on facebook of the groomed trails.
buffalo is looking much better .

Jim, I see no reason for you to give up your Seahawks Tickets for the drive over the pass. I,m out here in Plain and the snow condition is none. For the last three weeks temp,s have been mid 40's during the day with all sun, and the evenigs mid to lower 20's and stars. I drive over Stevens each week and only three tlmes I've driven on snow this year. We did get a very little dusting this morning from the fog that came through! Talking with some life time folks they have never seen this before, there reply is it could dump 2' over night, only problem with that they could not tell me what night that will happen? Dave
That was at the intersection of Chumstick and Eagle creek. About 1200' elevation I think.
Our cabin is at 3700' on Table mountain. The roads there are bare.
We could always have a parking lot party.
Well sorry to everyone I am out!!!! No snow here on the Eastside of WA. either!!! Wish I could find some to try out new to me Tucker, maybe next year

Parking lot party is the plan unless something happens between now and then. Like I said before, we will have a good time irregardless.
I'm out too.
Logger, I was up at 4th of July and Fernan yesterday. There is snow up high in our area.

I live at Stevens Pass and Leavenworth. Unfortunately you will have no snow next weekend. Pass snowpack (50") is at about 60% of normal, but there is basically no snow below 3000' on eastside. Ridge which has been blocking our storms most of the winter is back and will last at least through next weekend which means: no precip and "the eastern Washington winter funk," i.e., a temperature inversion with low clouds, fog, and an air stagnation advisory. Leavenworth had their ice festival this weekend and had to cancel all of the snow-related events events; they had to truck some snow down from the Pass for kiddie tubing. At least we are better off than the Sierras where the snowpack is about 20% of normal. You can still "get your Goomsba up" in Leavenworth however.

In case we do end up having a parking lot party, everyone should maybe print up a spec sheet on their cats, to tape in the widow. I'm sure there will be a lot of interested people from town who will want to see them.
We are headed to our cabin tomorrow and will leave there for the Jamboree so will be out of touch till then.
See you there!
