Something you need to physically be there to understand... your mileage may vary.

Break in the weather about a week ago allowed a trip up to the Index-Galena road that reopened last year. It's been closed since 2006 due to the Skykomish river's wandering ways eating a mile of road.
Took forever to re-engineer and procure the land needed to reroute the road up the hillside and avoid a repeat performance. The area beyond the closure used to be a favorite weekend destination, the most salmon (Pink AKA Humpies) I've ever seen were up along that section of river, so thick it looked like you could walk across their backs during peak migrations. With little human activity that area it is exactly as I remember from the mid 70s to mid 1980's- a truly wild, clean, clear mountain river now protected to some extent and referred to as "the Wild Sky Wilderness" Lots of gold claims along there now, the area is rich in silver and a good bit of gold, used to be 100's of miners all over the area back in the late 1800's early 1900's. I took my longtime buddy back up there with me, we spent many happy carefree hours along those banks when we were in our teens and twenty's. I stopped going up that way after moving north and discovering the Mt. Loop highway and its hikes and lakes and of course the North Cascades highway with my favorite get away options. OK, pics http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1731626173.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1731626173.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1731626173.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1731626173.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1731626173.jpg Also drove a bit more east to Eagle Creek Falls, we spent lots of time there as well, it's unfortunately been discovered by the masses and is packed in the summer time.

Late September 2017
Yakin adventure, had the premo boat in camping spot all to myself. Nice easy trail behind the lakeside spot has a great vantage point. Somehow I'm wired in a way that overnight trips like this leave me deeply satisfied, no cell service, news or the like does reset priorities.

^Glad we don't have those in the PNW, Kayaking and wandering shore lines would be much less relaxing^
So far I'm very happy with my new Trek Allant 8S, upgrading to wider more aggressive tires plus a seat suspension system helped the off road capabilities dramatically. most of my rides are on pavement, but even a loop around the local airport has at least a third of the trail unpaved. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1731862883.jpg Still hanging onto my full suspension Specialized http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1731862883.jpg I'm going to donate my 30 year old Sherpa, it's still a good bike, but I don't really need it and it's time to thin the herd http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1731862883.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1731862883.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1731862883.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1731862883.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1731862883.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1731862883.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1731862883.jpg |
