 Over the Hill Mid-Week Tour 09/19/07 Over the Hill Mid-Week Tour September 19, 2007 Sorry for the short notice, but it just happened that way. Some of us folks who have time in the middle of the week, mainly the "over the hill" bunch, are planning a day-trip via Forest Service roads on the eastern slopes of the Cascades. Starting from the Naches River and Highway 410 we will follow FS roads over Manastash Ridge, Taneum Ridge and South Cle Elum Ridge, "over the hills", to the outskirts of Cle Elum where we will stop for lunch at the historic (over the hill) Milwaukee Depot Caf?. Everyone is welcome to join in and if you can make the trip we are meeting at Gold Creek Station Restaurant, 18431 State Route 410. They serve terrific breakfasts at reasonable prices so come early for breakfast or coffee and plan to leave the parking area by 10:00 AM. Look for our red Ford Bronco II and we will monitor channel 22 on the CB radio. If you are coming from the Puget Sound area you will see some of the most fantastic scenery in all of the Pacific Northwest. Take State Route 410 through Enumclaw and follow the signs to Chinook Pass and Yakima. (No you are not going all the way into Yakima, just in that direction). Gold Creek Restaurant is approximately 29 miles from the summit of Chinook Pass. At about 27 miles you will pass Whistlin' Jack Lodge and Shell Gas Station on the right and Gold Creek Restaurant will be a little over two miles down the road on the left. If you are coming from Yakima or White Pass take US Highway 12 toward Naches. At the intersection of US 12 and SR 410, about 5 miles west of Naches, go straight onto SR 410 and follow the scenic Naches River to Gold Creek Restaurant. The restaurant is approximately 17 miles up the highway from the intersection and it is the only business on the right-hand side of the road. Hope to see you there! Jerry Over the Hill Trip Leader
