Alex and I met up Saturday morning for some coffee before starting our camping trip in Mount Hood National Forest.
AntFarm Cafe & Bakery in Sandy, ORI was testing my new Mosko Moto Reckless 80L panniers. I’ve had the Reckless 40L for over 3 years and I finally decided to get a larger set to alleviate some unwanted “overpacking” in the beavertailI created these “Crushing Baby Heads” decalsI usually take an obligatory pissing photo, but I was blessed with this golden opportunity! Apparently Alex wasn’t as amused as I wasI installed some blue Camel-ADV side fairings, and I also changed my yellow Barkbusters to black onesAlways tryin’ to get the shotUnfortunately, I don’t remember the two guys names we met on the trailHigh Prairie Survival Shelter“HIGH PRAIRIE SURVIVAL SHELTER. Please help maintain this shelter for emergency use of those in need. Constructed by the Columbia Gorge Power Sledders, in a co-operative effort with the United States Forest Service and the City of The Dalles. YOUR LIFE MAY DEPEND ON IT!”This shelter didn’t have a lock on the door, and was full of some lifesaving supplies; a fire stove and fire wood, sleeping pads, an axe and saw, a few blankets, and even some canned foodPro tip: to avoid bringing all your cooking gear, just bring a subway sandwich insteadDid you know Pendleton is made in Canada… and Canadians spell Whisky without an “e” because of their British and Scottish roots?! And the United States spells Whiskey with an “e” because of our Irish roots?!Alex (IG: @Alex.Bays)Morning views from my tentThis was a “shitty” view compared to all the other amazing views on this SectionAs soon as we were finished riding on dirt and got on pavement, Alex noticed his front tire was flat! He swapped out his tube, and quickly realized the new tube got pinched during install and wasn’t holding air either. Luckily I had a spare tube alsoThe red line was our route
