Sections 1 and 2: Bethel Ridge, Mt. Adams, Bridge of the Gods. Washington BDR on a Norden 901, Day 5

After five days and six nights of riding and camping and the loss of four out of our six original riders, the end of the Washington BDR is finally near. In this final installment of the WABDR video series, Tim and I finish WABDR section 2 and jump immediately into WABDR section 1. Our Washington Backcountry Discovery Route journey started in Canada, and today we reach the Bridge of the Gods and the Oregon Border. We started our BDR Adventure this morning by waking up atop Bethel Ridge on Washington BDR section 2. After descending the ridge, skirting the edge of Rim Rock Reservoir, and gassing up in Packwood Washington, we turned off the pavement onto Washington BDR section 1, the last and easiest section of the WABDR. This WABDR section 1 is mostly fast gravel, with a few cool highlights like Mt. Adams, Takhlakh Lake, ice caves, natural bridges, and the like. After a long day of Husqvarna Norden 901 off road riding and covering a ton of miles, we finally reached our destination: The Bridge of the Gods and the end of the Washington BDR.
