Memorial Day Weekend 2014 Part 3

The last day of our long weekend we had sunshine and an idea of where we wanted to go. Once again we headed East. This time we took a left at Cle Elum, WA to head over Blewett Pass. Before heading over the pass, we decided to head up to a fire lookout we had read about, exploring some of the forest service roads along the way.

Memorial Day Weekend day two was pretty uneventful, but we did get some exploring in. While traveling down the road to Packwood, WA on the East side of Mt Rainier we took a little side trip up an unmarked dirt road. This led us to a mostly abandoned road where the highway used to be. It wasn't very long but it was quite isolated. So we will leave you with a few pics after the jump.

Memorial Day Weekend 2014 Part 1

With the sun out, the temperatures up, and a three day weekend we decided it was the perfect time to stay home and work on the yard jump in the Green Monster and go exploring! With only a basic starting point in mind, but no real destination, it was one of the most relaxing weekends in a long time.

Make the jump to see pics and read about the first day of the long weekend.

First Weekend with RubiRock: Windmills, concrete beacons, and a hidden creek.

With all the wet weather on our side of the Cascade Mountains, we decided to head east until we found sunshine. About 100 miles is all it took.

First Weekend with Rubi Rock: Evens Creek ORV Park

When you buy a vehicle for the purpose of driving off road, well, the first thing you want to do is take it off road. Gotta make sure it works as expected, right? That's what we told ourselves anyway.

Introducing RubiRock.
