Tech Course Trail Build Jun 2005

Ah – derring do and diabolical diversions marked the Timber Tamer stamp on the Tech Course preparations for the PNW Summer Convention in August. We are charged with making and running the Tech Course – and since last weekend – we are halfway there. Continue reading “Tech Course Trail Build Jun 2005”

Fathers Day Jun 2005

Going to Elbe for the Father’s Day weekend (as we have for about 8 years now) is like visiting an old friend you haven’t seen in a while. Of course – this would be a friend who delights in giving you a noogie! Because while this is just about as fun as wheeling can get, it is rare a visit to Elbe doesn’t leave you a few reminders of your trip to bring home with you. Continue reading “Fathers Day Jun 2005”

Rimrock Memorial Day Weekend May 2005

For those of you that have not had the pleasure of playing at Rimrock, you should go sometime just so you can say you did. even if you never go back …

There are major hills there and the trails go either straight up, straight down, or side hill on the steepest parts. Spectacular views though. 🙂 Continue reading “Rimrock Memorial Day Weekend May 2005”

Tonga Ridge April 2005

Hello, The run was great and my father in law thoroughly enjoyed himself. Five rigs started the trip, John and Gina, Mike G, Mary, John’s friends in the white Toyota and us. We stopped at the turnout under the railroad bridge so Mike could unload and the rest of us could air down. Continue reading “Tonga Ridge April 2005”

Evans Creek Night Run Mar 2005

After setting up for the swap meet in Puyallup, we headed back to Mark’s place to get ready for our annual run up the mountain. As it turned out there were not as many as normal going because a few of the club members were up at Mike R’s home playing on the quads and got a bit carried away. Well at least they had some fun… 🙂 Continue reading “Evans Creek Night Run Mar 2005”

Evans Creek Jan 2005

Snowless Run………   Sometimes – you just gotta wanna go out on the trail, when the day promises to be dark, or wet, or cold. And – we had quite the group of “gotta wannas” heading out for Evans Creek on the most recent Tamer trail ride. Continue reading “Evans Creek Jan 2005”

Hangover Run Jan 2005

Hanging Over on the Hangover Run …..  As sure as the Earth travels round the Sun once a year, God makes little green apples, and the brown bear goes ca-ca in the woods – on New Year’s Day, you’ll find a band of Tamers once again heading into the cold and snow for another race to the top of the hill. Continue reading “Hangover Run Jan 2005”

Moab Oct 2004

Translation Please? …. Unfortunately – time dims some memories, and even I have forgotten what some of the above comments were about. But – as with many Tamer trips, travel happened in groups. One contingency of Mark and Lori Stevens, Gary and Lori Yates, and a few others headed down to Moab (a 2+ day proposition) I think early on a Friday. Mike and Staci Robinson left a little later, but did catch up with that group. Moose, Jana Camacho, and Mary Solinger left after work the same Friday, lagging behind the first group by a little more than half a day. Also, Tom Baker and his dad, Art, Roger and his brother, Ron, and Jeff Darraugh found their way down to Moab independently. Continue reading “Moab Oct 2004”

Club Picnic Aug 2004

25th Anniversary Picnic … Oh yes, oh yes – in a fit of yesteryear hometown Americana – the Tamers celebrated their 25th anniversary of being a wheeling club by having a picnic trimmed out in the finest old style tradition of just getting together in the park to hang, yak, and eat. Lake Sammamish State Park was the scene of many conversations, good natured jokes, being drug around the lake behind Gary’s speedboat, too many good things to eat, horseshoes to be tossed, photos being snapped – as the Timber Tamers celebrated this milestone in their existence as a club.
