Memorial Day Weekend

We lucked out on weather BIG TIME this Memorial Day weekend. The forecasts called for rain, rain and more rain. But we packed up everything anyways and headed out to the Little Naches area. We never even had to use our tarps the whole 3-day weekend! It was barely sprinkling when we pulled into our campsite but stopped completely when we unloaded our gear. Then it maybe sprinkled 3 times over the next 3 days and hardly enough to even put a hat on for. On Monday when we were packing up, it started dumping as we pulled out of our campsite. Talk about good timing. When we got back over the mountains, we found out that it had rained ALL weekend long. I'm SOOO glad we got out of town and got to have fun riding and camping in the mountains. We had a pretty big group of people come out this year, but we had to separate from some of them after the first night because of some losers that camped near us that blasted music at 3am and kept everyone awake for at least an hour or two. Our 2nd campsite was better than the first! Right on the river and far more peaceful.
We got to do some fun stuff while we were out there even though it was overcast most of the time. Of course we did quite a bit of dirtbiking! The trails were crazy sloppy and muddy! We also went to Boulder Caves area and hiked up on the huge washout on Highway 410 near the town of Naches. I had seen pictures of it from the news last fall but seeing it in person was absolutely amazing. The whole mountain came down and completely re-routed the Naches River.
