Day 4 of our Washington Backcountry Discovery Route motorcycle adventure started on a sad note as Travis had to leave to head home. We started the WABDR adventure with six riders. Now, we were down to just two and were heading into the most difficult sections of the entire route.
First up, WABDR section 3, Beehive Reservoir, and the infamous "washout" section. I was truly not prepared for the Washington BDR section 3 difficulty. Although the camera does not do it justice, the WABDR washout section features some near-vertical ten foot rocky descents into immediate climbs and was easily the most difficult thing I've done on an y adventure motorcycle. Fortunately my Husqvarna Norden 901 is a beast of a machine and carried me through without incident, despite the fact that I was white-knuckling most of the time. The climb up and out of the washout on WABDR section 3 is also a very interesting ride, with a ton of loose, rocky, and steep switchbacks that really challenged my adventure motorcycle riding skills.
After completing Washington Backcountry Discovery Route Section 3, we descended into Ellensburg for gas and food. After an eventful morning and considering the fact that we have lost four riders on this trip already, we made the decision to take the bypass around one of the most infamous sections of the WABDR, Babyhead Hill. I don't regret going around Baby Head Hill at all, especially considering what we didn't know lie ahead of us on WABDR Section 2.
The climb up Cleman Mountain on Section 2 of the WABDR was steep, loose, and covered in baby head rocks. After a long butt-puckering ride, we made it to the top of Cleman Mountain and carefully made our way down the back side into Nile, Washington to stop for dinner.
Afterward, we headed up Bethel Ridge to check out the amazing views and stop at the most amazing dispersed campsite I've ever seen in my life. Day 4 of our WABDR adventure was the most difficult so far.
