Fort Lewis 2024 Out Day 1
This adventure took place on 'Thursday August 8th, 2024'
This is my solo ride to join up with Wayne and Jackie at Fort Lewis Lodge, which has become a tradition for Jackie's birthday. Once out there, I'll switch over to the group adventure Fort Lewis 2024. This will be the first longish trip on the Blue Oil Burner since putting it back together. I've put it through its paces and all seems well, but I am still a bit apprehensive about potential mechanical failures. The plan is to divide what would normally be an easy day ride into two days in large part because those muscles around my shoulderblades continue to plague me by locking up. When this happens it's beyond painful. There is also a major rain system moving in, so this will be a very wet ride.

The plan is to leave Friday before close of business to get close to our target area and have all day Saturday and most of Sunday to go exploring.
