Scott_J Posted November 3, 2003 Posted November 3, 2003 I was hunting today on the road to 3 O’clock. It’s fucked. I went through three washouts one was a butt clincher. Met some locals that had nice 4x4 Ram trucks that would not go thru because their wheel base is wider than my Toyota. After the last washout the road is OK, but if we get any more rain I am afraid that more of the road will disappear. There are areas of erosion that parallel the road that could spell disaster if they cut deep and cleave away from the existing roadbed. Anyway that is the information on the road. I saw some locals packing up their belongings and leaving Darrington today. From the looks of their stuff it had been water damaged. Quote
Dave_Schuldt Posted November 3, 2003 Posted November 3, 2003 How far in is the first washout? Could the rest be done with a mountain bike? Quote

You can drive the road, but its got a rish factor in it for some people. First washout is 1.6 miles or so and the others are very close to that. You could mountain bike it, quad, dirt bike it etc. Quote
Crackbolter Posted November 3, 2003 Posted November 3, 2003 Who cares about that stuff. Can I have a ride to the Olympic Penninsula this weekend? I'll trade for some flies. Quote
rr666 Posted November 3, 2003 Posted November 3, 2003 Anyone here know when and if they are going to fix the road? I am sure with all of the other washouts, this road is probably closer to the bottom of the list. Just wondering when I can get my Saturn back in there. Quote

mattp Posted January 30, 2004 Posted January 30, 2004 At last report, there were some unattended forest products blocking the Clear Creek access road, not far off the Mountain Loop highway. Quote
hanman Posted February 1, 2004 Posted February 1, 2004 Yesterday my brother, chainsaw and I cleared ~ 267,352 downed alders from the road. It is now clear (for the time being) to the Blueberry fork. Quote
Dave_Schuldt Posted February 1, 2004 Posted February 1, 2004 Waycool, a good way to get firewood and help climbers at the same time. Quote
