The opposite gravel wall is actually an earthen dam. It seeps water at a pretty good rate, pretty interesting. The 'road' is supposed to cross here, going from left to right. This whole project has been claimed to be a culvert replacement, pretty big culvert. Being the end of summer, it looks like time is running out on this project.
By the time I took this picture, we'd already crossed Green and Stampede passes. This is of the railroad tracks, looking SW, which travel towards Lester.
Lost Lake, with flowers in bloom. The road we were on continues back off our right shoulder, and then around the lake on the right hand side.
Another view of the same lake.
Scott and Doug, talking about the area and past camping trips.
Our first sighting of Lake Keechelus.
Closer to Lake Keechelus, looking north up the lake. I-90 is on the right hand side of the lake. The noise coming from the highway was pretty incredible, considering the distance.
Leaving the Keechelus area, we headed towards Easton. This bridge was washed out in the early/mid 90's, so we had to cross the river here.
We had lunch, and continued back into Naches before I took another picture. This is the sign that we saw, essentially stating that all ORV activity, unless you're street legal and on roads only, is banned.
On our way down Green Pass towards the trucks, this is looking South towards Ravens Roost.
There's a little (looks little from here) road in the valley down below, it's actually Rd 70. We are looking here at the spot where the blacktop ends, and there is currently some road construction closing the road.
We road past the trucks, and took a left on Rd 70, wanting to look at what was blocking Rd 70. These are the signs and barricade.
Doug, walking past some machinery into a newly dug gully.
The 'real' road is probably 50-70yds off of Dougs left shoulder. We are on a recently doug access road, that leads into a pit, apparently to place a culvert into for the river to drain through.
