we did this strange ride on saturday

we did it the other direction from bottom dez to top (a lot more to that statement more of a long loop from top camp to N to east to bottom dez to south for a bunch of miles to west up onto tracks all the way to top for fuel then west then N back to camp ) . 5 of us. bitchen bizarre loop ride.dont want to say too much. there is some h cam as well. those trestles are waaaay up there and those tunnels are waaaay dark!!

Some of those pics show why I'm a dirt bike rider and not an adventure person ... Even though we all like an adventure from time to time ...

I'd say be careful out there

My english must be getting bad DD or you are inventing new words?

Just a new word for me... Your invention? Does it apply only to that specific nekkid or all nekkids you come across?

You're the boss 4 sure ....

Going thru one of those tunnels, it's so long and curved that you lose light for a bit. (last time I rode this was the early eighties). You had to put your foot on one of the tracks of the railroad to "feel" your way thru......

By "freight" do you mean drugs and border crossers?

Was that yours or one of your buddies ride reports?

none of the above, we rode it from bottom to top, we are not internet reporters so we just rode our loop, which included this portion.
This is a ADV report from another group (I have no idea who these guys are) who rode from top to bottom and took fotos etc. to show where and what we did. We never gave any thought to riding any of the trestles or tunnels we just did it, people are hiking and MTB guys are doing it as well.
Side note its funny how everyone wants to claim first on endeavors, these guys kind of do that.....I know guys who did this track ride way before this was posted (1990s).

OK, I'm showing my age here, but I rode those tracks and tunnels on my 1979 Honda CR250 when it was a CURRENT MODEL bike and I am convinced that when my riding buddies and I did it that day we were not the first dirt bikers to ever do it...

Really cool ride for sure Robert, sure looks like fun!
And,
this is off topic but that ride reminded me of a friend of mine who was/is a famous engine builder/drag racer that went to the Winter Nationals many times.
Anyway, a rail line that was seldom used and then eventually abandoned ran right through the farm he had lived on his whole life and through the Coast Range Mountains to the town of Tillamook OR through numerous tunnels.
He lives at a gateway to the Tillamook Burn (experimented with 4stroke Lectrons in the 70s) so naturally rides off road bikes too but decided to build a steel wheeled, side by side "go kart" powered with a Honda 750 4cyl to explore the railroad line without having to ride over all those ties and at blurring speed.

From where he lives it takes about an hour to drive the highway but he and his passenger could be in Tillamook at the deli having lunch in less than half (depending on conditions) the time which usually drew a crowd for these "special railroad inspectors".
Since the line received no maintenance, downed trees, boulders, slides, washouts etc (not to mention Roosevelt Elk) were always a hazard especially when going +- triple digits.
I had a standing invitation to take a ride but had been advised that those that did only did it once. Think dark dripping tunnels at 80+MPH. I always thought I would like to though but waited too long to get my courage up to totally have the sh!t sacred out of me.

The last time I stopped by the shop I saw pictures of his last ride and how the ballast had been washed out from under the track in places leaving 2-6 feet of air under it for hundreds of feet.
