Recent rains have caused a significant washout on the Mid-Fork Snoqualmie Road in the Cascade foothills. The area is a popular destination for off-season day-hikers, and the washout adds significant mileage to hikes here. According to Bill Sobieralski, wilderness and trails coordinator for the Snoqualmie Ranger District, an impassable slump has occurred in the Mid-Fork road at milepost 6, just beyond a concrete bridge over the river. The washout is about 6 miles short of the Mid-Fork trailhead, so hikers should plan to add an additional 6 miles one-way to any hike accessed by the road. King County has jurisdiction over this portion of the road, and according to road maintenance superintendent Tony Ledbetter, the slump is about 6 to 8 feet deep and covers out about a 100-foot stretch of road. Barricades are currently in place and the road is closed to traffic beyond the washout. A four-foot shoulder is available for hikers to walk around the damage, but cars are prohibited from passing. Ledbetter indicated that crews have been drilling soil samples to investigate the cause of the washout, "so that we're not just putting a Band-Aid fix on the road," he said. He estimated repair work could begin in about 2 weeks. The washout comes as the Forest Service is reviewing plans to gate and decommission the Mid-Fork road beyond the Dingford Creek crossing. For more information, contact the Snoqualmie Ranger District at (425) 888-1421.

Pony up Sonics fans, put your $ where your mouth is!

I don't hate the sports, just the fact that thier on the dole. For non fans like me it's hard to understand why they can bend the city over.

I bet gris sleeps w/ that issue.... So all you can do is insult me, the Sonics must not be worth defending.

TOTAL SICKNESS! MONDAY WILL SUCK!

This winter has been great. ST are you still on the injured list?

nstead of watching the Stupid Bowl Wolffie, MarkL and I did a great XC tour yesterday. Tronson Ridge is east of Swauk Pass on HWY. 97 between Cle Elum and Leavenworth. We started in the Snow Park at the pass, this is usually a snomo ghetto but because of the game there was only a few. We headed up the trail, crossed the snowmo road as Wolffie with his skins left us in the dust. The trail is marked with blazes and ski tracks. After an hour or so MarkL and I stopped to put on softer wax. Special red worked great and that was the only wax stop. We got to the top of the ridge, ate lunch, took in the view and enjoyed the silence. Altho this was a place only skiers can go you can still hear the snowmos. We then went around a knob using a compass and memory. We somehow managed to get off route into a steep gully. We climbed out of the gully and hit the ridge top for more views and a break. Now it was time for the downhill. There are some great runs for XC skis but the a variety of shity snow conditions made turn almost impossible. The wind from Saturday meant that any open areas were packed down and the sun softened it only to leave a nice breakable crust when it went into the shade. The best snow was in the woods where the powder made for some great kick and glide. The slopes are fairly gentle going over benches down to the skier road. There was a nice fast track set into the road. Mark and I waited around at the car and were wondering what happened to Wolffie when we saw him walking up the road. He had miss a turn and hit the HWY. just north of the pass at a skier only parking area. We left about 4:30 and got home just before the game ended. Almost no traffic, perfect timing.

I hear you Minx.
