Today was supposed to be an “easy-rider ride.” Don’t think so. We headed toward Flander’s Lake – a hidden gem of a lake.
Made it to the hidden lake and then headed out on dual track “toward home.” Jeff H. and John were bringing up the rear and were heading down a fair amount of grade when Jeff spotted (and spouted) “SINGLE TRACK!” [Hmmm . . . me thinks this looks VERY familiar.] It is familiar! It’s the same single track coming out and up from behind JZ Knights’ kingdom.
Jeff and John caught up to Todd and Lisa who appeared excited that we’re apparently close to home (Area #22 near Rainer Road). Not so. We’re less than 4 miles away from Yelm central. Oops. We retrace ground covered and take the single track up through the “Black Forrest” around areas #19, #20 and #21. An hour and a half later we make it back to the vehicles. 3 hours. ~17-18 miles. 1,300’ elevation gain. Happy, happy, joy, joy for these “easy-rider ride” days.
