Here is an update on the winter drive in Brady. We drove the car around the area this morning. There are several ways to drive that form a loop. The first loop is 4.3 miles with a maximum elevation of 55.2 feet. The second loop is the whole area, which is about 7.7 miles .The third loop, is about 5 miles. So you can pick the distance.
I have been contacted by 18 people at this point that have expressed an interest. I have not heard form some that I believed would respond. Maybe some just got the power on and the Email up and running.
Start time will be around 11:00 A.M. We should be able to walk the whole loop in about 3 hours.
The hunting area has a bathroom facility of sorts. It does at least give one a feeling of privacy. There is a sign advising that a permit is needed to use the area. There will be room for the horse trailers to park. I have checked the permits are $10.95 each for the first permit and then $5.48 for additional permits. If you have fishing or hunting license you should already have one or can buy a cheep replacement. . You can borrow one from a friend as they are allowed to be used on different vehicles. The sign advised a $66.00 fine for not having one.
The weather forecast at this time calls for clouds with a few showers. That may change by next week. I would bring a raincoat and dress warm.
Directions to the Staging ( parking) area.
From Seattle take highway 101 (exit 104) off of I-5. Proceed west via 101 then Hwy 8 then Hwy 12 till ya get to Brady exit. This is about 30 miles from I 5. Turn left off the free way on to Brady Loop Rd. Turn left at the T intersection. Turn left onto Foster Rd. The parking area is about 1.25 miles. This is about two and a half hours from Monroe. Two hours from Astoria. One hour from Centralia, 35 min. from Rochester.
My son is working on a web page to assist you with directions and show the different loops. Here is the site.
