    That would be the place! Somtimes when I'm standing at the precipice at the top of the mountain, I imagine what it would have been like standing at that spot 12,000 years ago during one of those colossal floods. Even though the top of the mountan is ~1800' above Crab Creek below, the water, rushing at 50 MPH would have been only a few hundred feet below.

    Fun in the sand, good authentic Mexican food (Matawa on the south slope of the mountain), and a lesson in ancient geologic cataclysms... how can we go wrong

    Sounds like fun! If I can get my rear end swap done in time count me in. I'll RSVP when I know for sure.

    Thanks, Jo.

    Hey Travelin', what happened to your diff? Mine started making noise at ~110K miles. I replaced it with one from a Minnesota wrecking lot, but it still whines some.

    I drive thru Montesano several times/year, usually have breakfast at the Beehive.

    Baxman; I just bought the rig recently and it had been in an accident with the original owner. The rear axle housing was bent and straightened. I just want to make it right. I'm heading out for razor clams early tomorrow then I'll get back on the VX project.
