The only lot I have ever seen is at the top of the climb of Hyw 18. Is there another parking place?

same lot/area.
there is another lot just above the lot you are thinking of. but if you drive in and continue driving (not pulling to the right or left to park) the road continues up to another lot.

Do yourselves a favor and really try NOT to park in the upper lot. It's prime for thefts and the wave of them is legendary. They don't steal anything but copy down the numbers they need to get info on you. So, you never know it.
But, yes, there are also the smash and grab crowd too.

it would of been 4 monkeys.....Trailhacker (on an XC bike :eek: :confused: ), Snacks, Jr Bullit and myself. Now about that EPIC ride you were thinking about... any idea when and where? :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:
Doh i coulda scored an "entourage" of monkeys!!!! 4 would have took me to my limit!!! :p
I'm thinking of doing a Jolly Mountain/West Fork Teanaway ride this Saturday, it's a shuttle XC ride with views galore and very technical singletrack. Some choppy descents and gnarly rocky exposed cliffside terrain. It's on my top ten rides list for sure. It's past Roslyn near Salmon la Sac up the ridge east dropping thru the other side of the ridge, then forest road back over the ridge to awaiting shuttle car/truck.

Skooks, going to Miller Peak Monday if you want your mini-epic. A lot like the Corral Pass to Ranger Creek loop as far as views and climbs are involved.

Sounds like a ride just east of where i'll be riding Saturday, lemme ponder this and i'll get back to you soon, but yes i will be riding monday somewhere.

Very cool guys. Ive now ridden the famous tiger. It was alot of climbing...and hard at times, but i made it through without pushing! Maybe pedaling that 45lb dh sled has reverse benefits.... Preston was a blast! Conditions there are pretty good, and it wasnt crowded at all! $th holliday, everyone was on the freeways getting pissed at the semis and RV's driving too slow.... The upper part was rough, but still flowy if you speed your way through. The lower part was very capital foresty to me. Lots of fun all around.

Shout outs:
EvilBob, great to ride with you outside the race scene, sorry if i was crowdin ya..... For the most part you were way ahead of me untill that one stump..... :) Jr bullit, good to meet you when you wernt still spinning from the spokane fall. Gtasto, great to ride with you again you single speeding monster! Borneo, it was cool to see ya again outside of a tradeshow....good riding with ya too.... Snacks thanks for taking my freeloading crappy truck owning ass up the mountain, and Skooks, great riding with you as always, although no tacos! I think we need to hire the burien taco bus and have it meet us at the end of every ride......

I had a blast. Nice pace all the way through, excellent conditions. Nobody ate any dirt or pegged any trees although that stump almost got me while Oly was trying very hard not to use me as a bike rack (thanks) Good time with Monkeys I ride with often and some I have never ridden with. :thumb: Oly it is really cool to get to ride with you, much different than sitting in the shuttle line then sayin see ya at the bottom and never actually getting to share the ride. :thumb: :thumb:
