Turning off the South Fork Ahtanum Road (A1000) onto the Bolder trail.
We stopped on the Sedge Ridge Crest Trail so people could air down more.
Test Dummy rig started having fuel pump problems so he headed back down The rest of us turned down A2420 and then on A2400 to the Sno-park.
Then it was on up the Mid Fork Ahtanum Road (A2000) and onto the Whites Ridge Loop Trail (A2600). We took the Whites Ridge Crest Trail when we got to it.
Next we turned down the Whites Ridge Cross-over Trail (A3300) then went up the North Fork Ahtanum Road (A3000).
Here is looking at the snow on Darland Mountain.
Next we ran the Blue Lake Trail onto 4W615 and stopped at Blue Lake for the kids to get out.
The bugs were bad so we headed on up 4W615 to the Blue Slide Lookout.
My kids having fun.
After a short break we headed on down FS1020. Here is looking down at Rimrock Lake.
Here we ran into a big snow drift.
Here I am stuck because of the Swabbie tires.
You can see the dust on my rig from the trails to this point.
Tiny is also stuck.
Roll Over to the rescue.
On down FS1020. Here at 4W613 the road changes numbers to A2300 aka Jackass Road.
Turning of Jackass Road onto A5000.
As we were heading down toward the Nasty Creek Corrals the weather turned. There was a lot of lightening. We saw lightening hit and start a fire. I think it was on the ridge Southwest of Sedge Ridge
Shutting the gate so the cows don't get out.
Another to lazy to turn around picture.
Does anyone know the Papa Bud's story? Maybe this was his hunting spot?
Here we finely got out on the phone to call about the fire. Sparky's dad already called the DNR. They could see the fire from there house in Tampico.
Looking down toward Tampico.
Here we see one of the locals.
This was a real fun run thanks to the people that came.
PS: I wish I was there again today.
And thanks for the .pdf for the map too!
