Another of my solo trips. It's nice to spend a day and not have anyone else who gets bored, wants to stop and shoot, or go home...



First, let's detail why it's smart to walk your obstacles before driving them.

Decent hill climb up and around...



Reach the top and... shit. Fallen trees, no real place to turn around.





Tight turn-around.





Looking down while turning around...



... And down we go.







Exiting... whoops.





Across the way is more fun... woohoo!









This one got a little hairy farther up... so I decided to come back sometime later with a buddy.

Return pics:





Needed to get my trip going, as I DID need to be home by a certain time. So my trail ADD had to stop for the day.

Scenery shots.

I did see a herd of Elk cross my path....wasn't fast enough on the camera...



Siouxon Creek



















Trailhead.



Reservoir spillway.



Highway 503....BOO PAVEMENT!



Yale Lake....and the area I just came from...

Some nice scenery up there. Maybe the family will want to take a ride in that kind of stuff when I am up there in August.

....BOO PAVEMENT!

Another fine example of government waste.

Nice trip. I miss Oregon - lived there for 7 years and never came CLOSE to finishing exploring it and WA.

Google Maps says I can make it to Amboy in about 2 1/2 hours... Hmm.

On the back of my truck is a decal that says...Paved Roads-More examaples of Wastefull Gov't Spending... and I work for the Dept of Transportation.


Nice pics by the way.

We go out every Sunday or Monday. Sometimes I go by myself other days.
