Randle, WA to Babyshoe Pass looks pretty great. 30-ish miles with a few steep bits but looks like mostly reasonable grades. Plus there're 4 campgrounds within a mile or 2 of the Pass.
couldn't get the "link" button to work... did a quickie map job... http://ridewithgps.com/routes/2508110 I called the Gifford Pinchot Cowlitz Ranger Station this afternoon. The woman I spoke to was great. I told her what we wanted to do and she suggested that we head west on Forest Rd 74 (sort of near the the town of Mineral) into the GP Nat Forest. She said there are lots of decent dirt roads that just meander through the hills and valleys. She said access from the south (off Hwy 12) is possible too but it's largely checker-boarded with private timber land and Nat Forest land so access isn't as easy. Randle to Babyshoe Pass sounds more straight forward and plan-able so that has my vote. Logistics of getting to/from the meet-up can be worked out. --Smitty -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
