It all started to go wrong when the sign said 'Primitive Road Ahead'; we were about to start the first subchapter of the Goldwing Explorers Club. Do not join if you need pavement. 

After of miles of gravel, dust and washboards Karry finds us a place to regroup. 

He needs blackberries just  like the great bears:

It's been hard on strong Bob.  No, don't jump.  We will find pavement.........and burgers.

Jeff 'Big Dog' can smell the chili dog platter just miles to the east.  If we can ever find the right road....... or any road.

Jeff has a source for knobby tires and is taking orders.

See wings CAN travel safely on gravel mountain roads.

Lunch stop at Skidder's in Darrington.

Location of gravel road between Lake Cavanaugh and Highway 530
