2007 -- Sept -- GPNF Camp n' Ride

On Sept 13th through Sept 17th, Lan and Sylvia hosted the 3rd Annual Gifford Pinchot NF Camp n' Ride. Each day there is a dual-sport and a trail ride. Given that I brought a KLR, I (wisely) opted for the dual-sport rides the two days I rode (Friday and Saturday).

9/23 update. Ok. Besides the 25 highlight shots, there are now about 65 shots of folks riding during the Friday and Saturday dual-sport rides. Mark.
