Drive to Takhlakh Lake
Driving to Takhlakh Lake near Randle, WA. Instead of staying on Forest Road 23, we took non-paved Forest Road 2801. The drive was nice and the sun was out. Unfortunately the clouds rolled in after we had lunch at the lake.

Teanaway Rd to Lake Ingalls Trailhead and DeRoux Campground
Переглядів 2463 роки тому
Driving on Teanaway Rd towards Lake Ingalls Trailhead, and spent the afternoon hanging around DeRoux Campground. The drive was relaxing as the gravel road was well maintained with only a few potholes here and there. Surrounded by mountains, the road curved through the valley providing glimpse of Teanaway River thorough the trees. Lake Ingalls Trailhead was crowded and it was hard to find parkin...

Переглядів 3703 роки тому
Enjoying summer weather in Central Oregon. We explored Hole-In-The-Ground, Crack-In-The-Ground, Fort Rock, and Paulina Peak. We couldn't hang long at each places since it was really hot. So hot that the dash cam overheated and eventually broke. Luckily most of the footage was recoverable. Date: July 18, 2020 Vehicle: stock VW Atlas
Driving around Lake Billy Chinook
Переглядів 2674 роки тому
We drove around Lake Billy Chinook in Metolius, OR. The view was spectacular, as the road carves around the canyon. We hung out at Perry South Campground on the shore of the lake to have lunch before heading back. Half the road was paved, and the other half was easy dirt road albeit washboarded and rocky at some parts. Vehicle: Stock VW Atlas Date: July 18, 2020

Driving on National Forest Development Road 9070 around Hyak, WA. Unfortunately the drive was cut short since the road was heavily rutted.

It was a nice experience for the entire family, plus the weather was nice despite being partly cloudy. Check...

Took the ferry from Fauntleroy to Vashon Island to check out their city parks. Went to KVI Beach, Point Robinson Lighthouse, and Maury Island overlook. Planned to see more, but the rain clouds decided otherwise. On our way back, wanted to take the Tahlequah Ferry to Point Defiance, but we missed it by seconds. The ferry gate closed just before we arrived. So we drove across the island back to V...

Переглядів 9694 роки тому
Driving on paved National Forest Development Rd 56 along Middle Fork Snoqualmie, WA. We continued onto NFD-5620 past the campground toward Dutch Miller Trailhead. It was mostly dirt road with some washouts, but luckily it was in a good enough condition for SUVs to pass. The view from NFD-56 was spectacular, although trees around the dirt road was thick enough to block the view. Vehicle: stock V...

Driving down Washington State Route 20 on Whidbey Island. Along the way, we stopped by Deception Pass, Fort Ebey, and Fort Casey State Parks.
