I wonder if your "closed road" situation had anything to do with the "new bridge" we encountered on FS 25 when we did the trip at the end of last summer
Probably! I'd been thinking about running this route for awhile, and had gotten in the habit of checking the USFS road report on a semi-regular basis. Then one morning when the sun was shining as it so rarely does, I just hopped on the S and gassed it. No signs posted at all until about 2 miles SOUTH of Randle. That's what I get for trying to be spontaneous.
So, another lesson learned, check ALL aspects of the flight plan before departure. Still had a good ride, just wandered back home through some other country I'd not traversed, Raymond, Willapa Bay, etc.
Been to the "backside" of St. Helens several times, but for some reason have never ridden all the way through to Carson. Oh well, summer's almost here!
Thinking of a Southern Utah journey in the early fall, and if nothing else, will do a four corners ride of Washington... Getting a severe case of trip envy reading Randy's trip routing!
