On Wednesday the 11th, thirteen riders headed down to the Ancient Lakes area east of the Columbia River. The only time I’ve made it to this area, we stayed on the middle coulee, but on this trip, they ventured down the rocky path all the way to the River! It looks to have been a […]

We had two club rides this past week, one to the Beverly Dunes area, across the Columbia, and a few intrepid souls went exploring in the Ginkgo, looking for that as yet undiscovered loop trail. Walt and Gail F. headed over to Ancient Lakes… And followed this trail… Past this mighty river… Where they discovered
John and Nancy H. sent this important info through Gail F. the other night: Here is a link to the Washington Trails Association page regarding the recently enacted WA State law SB5622 that provides for a three-agency trail and parking permit, called the Discover Pass: http://www.wta.org/trail-news/action/olympia The “Discover Pass” that will be needed to park

A guest blogger shares this about the ride yesterday, with the Alpine Lakes Back Country Horsemen group, that yours truly wussed out on: The ride at China Hat today started out a little wet, but the rain/snow stopped before we left. It was too rocky and marshy to go cross country as we started out.
Well, the weather finally cooperated enough for the Riders to schedule their first ride of the year! Originally, we had talked about going across the Columbia to the Ancient Lakes area, but with respect to variable weather and high fuel prices, the group opted instead to head to the Army East trailhead, and wander among
The weather has been so unsettled this month that there have been no “official” club rides. But I’ve heard of people (myself, included) that have been able to sneak in a few rides between the wind and the rain and the snow. At last week’s meeting, two rides were set, one sort of tentative, and
