Are these still available?

Re: who wants to go wheeling or has input for a trail near the seattle area. Walker Valley is a lot of fun. It can become very challenging when it's raining.

How was your trip? Did you hike the Winchester Mountain Trail when you got to the lakes? edit: Nevermind. I was thinking you went up FR3065. I just looked at the map. I thought they closed access to Canyon Creek Road (FR31). Were you able to drive up there?

Where are you seeing it for $800? I don't see it on their website yet.
