PNW Remote Control Meet Up at Poo Poo Point
At PNWTRC events, we welcome all types of RCs. Allowing both comp and non-comp rigs to run with us.
It is advised to arrive a little early to get parked and ready for the event. We will meet up at 10am at the trailhead to have a quick drivers meeting before heading onto the trail. This is an open event to run, we encourage 1/10th crawler/trail types of RC crawler. Bashers/Bouncers can be a little tough to navigate up a trail, please mind your batteries and remain in control of your car.
Description:
3.8 miles, roundtrip
Poo Poo Point is a small knoll on a shoulder of West Tiger Mountain. The folksy name is a reference to the steam whistle sounds heard throughout the Tigers in the early days of logging. More recently, around the 1970s, the area around Poo Poo Point was logged by its then owners, Weyerhaeuser Corporation. The result is a large clear area used now as a launching pad by paragliders who generally backpack their lightweight gear up the Chirico Trail, or sometimes arrive by minibus.
From the parking lot, take the obvious trail across the landing field. Be alert for any paragliders who might be coasting in quietly to land. At the eastern edge of the field enter Tiger Mountain State Forest and find yourself on the Chirico Trail.
