Al-little late to the party but wanted to chime in. Congrats on the move and career change, really excited for you and Andrea. We will surely miss you on the east coast. You summarized this club to a tee, I remember the steel butts drive you made to the first ONSC-Spring Tide Ride trip where we held off a leg of the trip until you and Andrea made it to the Ocracoke Ferry departure so we could move on to the next leg of the trip. Since then a staple of this club. We look forward to having you back whenever you can make it. Safe travels to and from and let any of us know how we can help in the transition.
I will try to make it back for an event at some point.... can guarantee this year maybe next one.man I miss that view. I used to see it every morning looking out over the flightline at McChord. We've been talking about a trip up as my cousin still lives there. I know in the mid 90's the beer scene there was amazing and I'm sure it's only gotten better. We used to go to to Ale House Pub & Eatery all the time. beer ordering was by # as they had well over 70 beers on tap. Hope you're enjoying it man. Sure missed you at the Barn when I looked over and saw Andrea. I was like...wait....why do I not hear Al?
Not much new happening lately.... been to a few breweries.
Took a day yesterday and went exploring. Found a cool single track bridge and took some pics around it. I'm not quite sure how far down it was to the bottom but I'm guessing it was near 400 feet or more. There was a trail down the side to the huge water fall and river below but I wasn't wearing the right foot wear to tackle it.
The nice thing is 1 mile past the bridge I found a OHV area.
Evans Creek ORV Park
Camping and trails that go pretty high up into a peak near 7000 feet from what I read on the northwest overland site
Also found an open but rutted forest service road that was 25 miles long and headed off into Mt Rainer national park
Haven't updated this thread for a while.....
Next is a trip i'm planning for sometime at the beginning of fall.
Going to do the WABDR. Which I thought was Washington By Dirt Road but it actually stands for Washington Backcountry Discovery Route.
its a 575 mile trip starting just outside Portaland OR and ends at the Canadian Boarder. 575 miles 545 of which are on dirt and winds through the cascade mountain range. I'm pumped for this one.
Glad Andrea got to go to the meet and greet though.
