Idk, from a certain POV, if it’s in the PNW, I’d call it local to Trevor. I myself, did call Trevor out when he posted in a similar “local” theme with a pic that was somewhere in the US Southwest. I think that was a bit of a stretch. Let the voters decide. Anyway, that’s my $.02

heres my pic.

We don’t have “National Parks”….only provincial

Just stirring the pot guys, here's my entry.

To drive the Barlow Road’s path, take Highway 197 south from The Dalles to Tygh Valley. From Tygh Valley, the route joins Highway 216 to travel west through Wamic toward Mount Hood. Continue on Highway 26 northwest toward Government Camp, around Mount Hood, and on into the Portland Metropolitan area via Oregon City.

Just a side note, I grew up in Wamic.

National Forest ....... (not National Park)..... that means not even any hand water pumps.

Not such a great photo photographically. But a memorable and somewhat significant event for Justin and for me.
Sixteen years ago.


As I recall, Justin, about 30 then, and had been going on annaul Memorial Day weekend camping trip with highschool buddys since highschool, every year since highschool, there in this Manistee National Forest. But this year all his buddys cancled out because of other family events or eminent birth of kids. He was annoyed.
But somehow, him and I arranged a ride together, and we rode up to there, and rode around the area, and hung out at the area they usally camped for a while,

and we had a good talk.

Well, next year, about the same holiday weekend, his first child was born. And three years later his next was born.

ANd now, in more recent years, Justin and some of his highschool friends, and some other friends, and Jay RedmanSIL have an annaul weekend campout there with thier kids.
They do sometime invite me to ride up and visit, but, ah,,,, those sandy two-tracks. I recall how I about lost it multiple times on the pictured occassion.

>>Later note: Maybe this is Manistee State Forest.

This is as close as my 1100E is getting to a "forest road"! (Although, it is a road in the Daniel Boone National Forest!)

Hi guys, I deleted my entry this week....as pointed out, my post was "hardly in my backyard"....I can't do a "National Park" as we in Canada don't have them. You guys do realize there are other countries participating in GSR?
I'm getting a little tired of USA USA USA...of course I'm sure you will respond with me "being to sensitive"....it would be nice if Americans could look outside there own world for once....I'm just tired of it.
You make it hard to like you

Do what??? I just punched in National Parks in Canada and everything that came up says Canada has 37 National Parks and 11 National Park Reserves, whatever they are, covering appx. 343,377 square kilometers... Not arguing what you say, you live there, but odd what's on the computer.

.....

National Forest....... Forest... the significance being rustic-undeveloped.
Typically unpaved, no facilitys.

I think you have riden in places that fit that description.
