WA 2021 Summer BDR Run (7/31-8/5) - The Details

When I saw those storms rolled through I was thinking Damn I hope those guys aren’t up there.

 

I ran into them over Stevens Pass the next day driving back.

 

Thankfully Nevada at the time didn’t have any smoke. We did a couple sections, Jarbidge-Elko and Elko-Austin then we went over to Lake Tahoe and did some off roading before making our way back to WA.

 

What tent is that?

 

It’s the Autohome Columbus carbon fiber.

 

I just did the section from Ellensburg to Wenatchee, NF-9712/Liberty Beehive RD is washed out. National Forest services say it was fixed recently but it's not. Looks exactly like the video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ld_KTlU8DHo taken back in 2018. Its about 5 to 7 miles from Wenatchee in the northern section of the trail. I had to back track quite a bit and and exit at Blewitt Pass on Hwy 97.

 

We went through there last year. It was one of the more interesting and fun parts of the wabdr

 

I have all of oct off is anyone wants to head out.

 

Yeah we went through there 2018 or 19, can't remember but that section was completely doable in a stock 4x4 even with the washout.

 

Reviving this for 2022. Any thoughts on a run this year? With COVID and (fingers crossed) fire season out of the way, hopefully we can get a better turnout this year? I personally would like to "finish" my run and complete Sections 4-6.

 

I’m interested. Weddings, transmissions, rear diffs and fires completely derailed my plans.

 

I would also like to do these sections...or at least 4 and 5

 

I'm interested. Two attempts and have still never done sections 5 and 6.

 

I created a new thread for the 2022 wabdr
