This spot is the bike-in site and it rules. It's the best area in the entire campground -- mostly because it's not a proper campground. Just a big shelter with tables and fire pits around it. And it overlooks the river.
Dig this: the shelter has electricity! And (in warm months) running water!! And it's like 5 miles from downtown. Silly silly shit.
What the hey? If you have a pulse and you ride a bike, this has got to be a future super hang overnighter destination.
Pat is rad. He stashed a bit of wood at the site earlier in the week. Is that cheating? Is pouring white gas on the needles cheating? |
This picture is for Pat Rick. We missed you! |
And a little more gas. Just to make sure it starts. |
And the match. |
Now that's a fire! My eye brows were stupid looking anyway. |
The subtle, "oh look, I'm awesome. I'm on a single speed!" pic. |

Fancy early-morning mist shot. |

great pictures!
Awesome fire. Did you all stay warm and dry enough then?
We definitely need a super hang overnighter there. Rad indeed.
Klay - thanks.
Rachel -- yeah, we were warm for sure. The rain was sort of annoyingly persistent so we did get a bit wet. But most of us came prepared for rain. Sort of. I, for one, slept great.
Rachel - Totally stayed warm. Woke up a bit wet but I was dressed perfectly for the conditions. It was a great close to town overnight spot.
Let me nip one thing in the bud: There was no cheating involved in this overnighter. Or lying or stealing. (Despite what the ranger thought.)
As far as the future of this destination, all I can say is, "OCCUPY RIVERSIDE!"
Wow - what a cool set up for quick trip. Fun post...
Nice pics. I can feel the air you guys breathe.
