Post Pics Of Your Tacoma In The Mountains

Yup, it was Laurel Lakes...my first time going but we couldn't get to the lakes, there was still way too much snow on the trail (this was back at the end of May). Just past the 2nd campground there was a huge snow pack covering a giant portion of the trail, so we just camped at the 2nd campground right there. Still was a great trip, such a beautiful area...can't wait to go back maybe later this summer and see the actual lakes.

 

here's a crappy panoram I stitched together back before I had a camera that could do a panorama. Cerca 2007...

 

Nice! I was just in Ennis about a month ago awesome place.

 

Oregon-to-Canada on the WABDR (June 2018) - Day 1: Joe and Daisy's First Big Dirt Adventure
June 24, 2018.

It's not often that we end up on a trip in our own backyard. There are many reasons for that - there are amazing sights far and wide, adventurous friends are located states away, and of course the weather in Washington makes snow-free exploration tough much of the year.

But when Joe got a 4Runner and mentioned that he and his wife (Daisy) wanted us to get them (and their 16-month old) out on their first trip, it seemed like a great opportunity to do something a bit easier and a bit more local.

The WABDR (Washington Backcountry Discovery Route) fit that bill perfectly!

WABDR Day 2: Volcanoes

...Back on the trail, @mrs.turbodb spent a bit of time evaluating
our route for the morning and scouted what she promised would
be an amazing stop - Takhlakh Lake and campground...

Day 3 or our WABDR trip is posted - our run from south of Ellensburg to just north of Cashmere (through Leavenworth, just a few days before Northwest Overland Rally, so extra expo). Read all about it, with lots of pictures:

Canon City/Royal Gorge Colorado.

Taking my son on a good old American road trip ... Maryland back to my old stomping grounds. Southwest CO tomorrow for three days of fishing, hiking and the Alpine Loop.

Then New Mexico to fly fish the San Juan for a few days ... Bisti Wilderness, Chaco Canyon and what ever else I remember to show him!

 

Western MD, across the river is W. VA

 

Ahhh Greenridge?

 

Yep I think the same thing when I look at this.

 

On the fourth day, we hit our highest elevation and several fire lookouts (which were, dare I say, surrounded by burned forest). We also made our way down to Lake Chelan via The Jungle - a fun, steep, narrow set of switchbacks that we refused to re-route around as suggested by the cautious folks who coordinate the WABDR!

Took the 115 mile loop across the mountain to Walmart, oops.

 

Went for a little drive yesterday evening with the wife, kid and nephews.
