Shady Pass – June ‘09

Garrett posted on January 06, 2010 21:03

Since hearing about this pass we wanted to trek over it. We tried early in June from the Chelan side after camping at 25 mile creek. This road is not difficult but extremely rewarding with the views! Uh oh! There’s still snow on the road. Point of go-no-further… wet snow on top of m...

Nice writeup. I hiked and drove all over that ridge in the summer of 1992 while working for the US Forest Service. Back then, it was all lush and dense forest. It's really a shame they had that big fire.

Thanks for the write-up. I need to get back on my blog too.

Very nice. I can't wait to make that run when I am out there again.

I find it quite interesting that my avatar seems to be some sort of devil and Craig's is looking at mine with disdain. Is this some random event or is something more sinister afoot?

Yep, we're out to get you... seriously though, I need to update these tempates to use our normal avatars. It's been on my TODO list for about 6 months now. :(

I just thought it was funny that my avatar probably represents what my internet image is that most people have of me, especially those who haven't met me in person.

Thanks for taking the time not only to write about great scenery, but to take good pictures of great scenery. Looks like a fun trip. If you are interested in another one that is similar, look up the Lolo Trail.

The Lolo Trail (or motorway) runs parallel to and just north of Hwy 12 in Idaho.

Here's a link to a blog of the Lolo trip that I did with Mark and Carl. http://northwestoverlandsociety.org/Discussions/tabid/166/forumid/4/tpage/1/view/topic/postid/40699/Default.aspx#40769

Naneum Ridge & Colockum

I don’t have much to say so this will mostly be a pictorial description of what we did today. Love this area, but learned that so do hunters! We encountered more traffic on these roads than all of HWY 2 to Grand Coulee Dam last weekend. I created a GPX track if anyone would like it, let me know. I’...

Any snow up there yet? The Colockum Road or the Beehive-Liberty Road make good first snow snowruns.

I need to fix this module to use our regular avatars...

I was hoping for snow but it had all melted. Made for great mud though!

I'm digging these goofball blog avatars! haha!

The Evolution of “Rovey”

Garrett posted on October 14, 2009 22:25

It all started out when we had our first child 5 years ago… We would go from fun-loving his/her 5.0 Mustang driving young people to responsible adults in the matter of months. (har har). First things first, we needed a bigger, safer vehicle. My wife told me that she really wanted a Land Rover. Ever...
