It's three generations of camping and riding goodness on this trip. My daughter and I met my dad for a few days of camping, riding motorcycles, and exploring the Mt. Washington Wilderness in my dad's RZR side by side. After a quick swim in Big Lake, our first night was spent hanging out as a family around the campfire singing songs and enjoying some delicious beers. The next morning, my daughter and I suited up and hopped on the Suzuki DRZ400S and Suzuki DRZ125 and my dad hopped in his Polaris RZR 900 and we set out for one of the most beautiful destinations I know of: the top of Cache Mountain. The ride up was fun and a bit unnerving for Lil' Dork as it was her first time riding a motorcycle on sand. Eventually though, we made to the top and were rewarded with one of the most beautiful views on earth. A panorama stretching miles in every direction with amazing views of Black Butte, Mount Washington, the Three Sisters, Three-Fingered Jack, Suttle Lake, Blue Lake, and all the other amazing nearby lakes, hills, and other landmarks. It was an amazing father daughter adventure (and a father son adventure with my dad along for the ride) that we will never forget, and this was just part one of this camping and motorcycle riding adventure at Oregon's Big Lake.
