Not sure, but I may have been law breaker when I rode my nerdy Gazelle around Perrygin Lake. I should think that this trail, which is pretty easy, would be a candidate for ebike use. It is in a WA state park. I got passed by an acoustic MTB. I wasn't trying to go fast, I was enjoying the...

It has nothing to do with this thread. Once again, this is about a STATE survey. You are causing confusion by listing a FEDERAL agency. That can confuse the issue. I suggest you start your own thread about "the big picture". The GPNF is the Forest Service, which is a sub agency of the...

That is National Forest and should not be on here. We are talking about Washington State Department of Natural Resources, not National Forests. Please don't confuse people. In fact, you might want to remove your post.

Thanks. I think we need all the help we can get.

Here's a link to a survey being done by the Washington State DNR on trail use by Ebikes. The link is to a hiking site where you will find the survey link because I couldn't get the survey directly linked due to having taken the survey. Guess they are still taking input on what to do about...

I got into the trap of "just a bit farther" today. We had a heck of a thunderstorm yesterday. My area of the world was under one of those blobs on the radar shown in yellow and orange for two hours. Our area is not built for that much rain. Reports came in about roads being washed out and...

I've bought 5 houses in my lifetime. I use this method. When having to get a loan, I figured out what I wanted the payments to be and based my house search on that amount. The amount was low enough so if I wasn't working, I could still afford it, or if I was working, I could play a bit, and...

Tailwind to go up the hill, head wind to go down and home. Another Salmon Creek (pronounced crick) ride. I ate my sandwich here and turned around to go home.

Yup. I got excellent gas mileage pulling my trailer going east, and terrible coming back home--west. I also got stuck for an hour behind a very wide load. They would only get over for oncoming traffic and would not let folks pass. Finally, they got stuck on a round about. Yes, there is a...

I drove Highway 2 from WA to WI last year and back. Unless you are comfy with trucks and cars going by at 70+mph and not much or no shoulder, I would not recommend it. Plus, there are long stretches of nothing. Some "towns" consist of a small casino. I was looking at it for biking whilst...

For some reason, could be this time of discombobulation, this thread puts me in an even more terrible mood. I hope you did not intend for it to do so. Or is there a further movement to put us back even more by ordering us to ride pastel colored bikes and never a crossbar? That's the way it...

Thanks but I just got rid of some blankets and linens. I have a small house and need to get rid of more stuff instead of getting more stuff.

Oooh. That would be hard. Which of my beloved Pendleton blankets to sacrifice? They are beautiful blankets. Was told third hand of a bike battery fire and teller of the story said it was a "good bike". That's all. My Gazelle is on the charger now.

On youtube, I have seen two different couples stop their riding in Montana because it is too scary on the highways that are part of the Northern Tier Route.

This "girl" doesn't like rain blowing in, and likes a bit of privacy. I've backpacked and professionally camped with a dome tent and last tent was a small, but very weatherproof non dome tent. I still have it. It weighs 3 pounds because that was about as light as you could get at that time...

This makes me wonder. It seemed like the diesel crew took down their flags. Now I see brand new flags popping up and a semi beater diesel with three of the usual flags (brand new and up to date with 2024 on one) sitting in the middle of an empty parking lot area, idling away. On a good...

Seems a bit odd for that part of the county. My part, no. Mr. Coffee lives in a more prosperous part where many have relocated from Seattle for an idyllic life in a mountain town. I suspect it was a pushy mom-- not a local, who has no manners. Also, a lot of people seem to think that No...

Just thinking....In some areas, and where I grew up, we had House Water and Irrigation Water. House water was municipal, treated and ready to drink. Irrigation water came from The River or Creek and got to our area via an open ditch. It was not treated. There were usually house water...

I made a "rack". Found the plans on The Internet. I bought an aluminium motorcycle ramp to roll my bike up into the pickup bed. Roll wheel into slot, use tiedowns to secure, close tailgate. And being short and oldish, I carry a folding step to make climbing up into the pickup bed easier...
