    Great lakes, great forests, diamond mines, deserts, snow, coal, we grow crops of all kinds, our domestic beers are ~not too bad, several great mountain ranges as shown here ... The states have it all ...

    I actualy ran into a bear once. We where both cruising along a trail and he ran out in front of me and we with slammed on brakes so to speak. He just barely touched me and spun around and ran opposite direction. I have seen bears maybe half a dozen times all my life riding in pnw while out riding. They are literally all over.

    Kelly I gotta hook up with you on of these years out there. It's 4 hours each way for me but dang I love the Gifford Picts I have seen so far. Still have never been.

    That happens when you grow up spoiled and can ride across the street from your house to epic ridng for hundreds of miles(cle elum). Now driving more than an hour anywhere is just tough to swallow.

    Jake, I felt bad you weren't at Enduro X, but now I don't feel as bad! Early in the year to get a snow ride in. I bet the snow was in great shape. I enjoy riding in the snow as well, as long as it's not crusty. However, Not sure about a Trials in the snow?!?!?!!?

    Maybe a group buy is in order for the Fat Bottom Bar and Grill? ... it is a a perfect location for hitting the trails and GPNF plus the great state of OR is right over that big mountain to the south ... Two members\buyers will need to be on hand at the bar to help pay the property taxes and ELEC bill ... Everyone uses the place as a trail head and goes off riding each day ... Maybe rename to something like "Coffees FatBottom Husqvarna TrailHead Cafe " ...

    The PNW certainly has what you like then ...But it will crust over to where it is just a 6' high wall of concrete ... The cool par is in the summer next yr when you go up there each week and ride the snowless (wet?) bottom areas and then head up the mountain sides and into the snow line .. Each week the rides get longer and longer as the snow recedes to higher and higher elevations ... The creeks are also full of the melted snow ... Early in the year there are not alot of riders there also...Holidays and the areas might get a little crowded ...
