I don't have time to DIY or money to pay for labor right now. Hoping someone else does...

That's a dispersed camping spot in the Gifford-Pinchot NF, on the Cowlitz River.

Edit: I should mention that pic was taken after I walked around and picked up several bags of trash and debris left by previous visitors. Pack it in, pack it out folks!

Re: Tercel 4wd in Seattle
