2018 Cutthroat Lake/Pass Ride (well, not exactly!)

Julie, Mark, Betty, Lainie, Dick, Cathy and Jackie ride from Goat Creek Sno Park to Shaffer Meadow up Jack's Trail

Well, not exactly the Cutthroat Lake/Pass ride this year is right! After the rainy but fun Latte ride the day before, the riders had moved their rigs up to the Goat Creek Sno-park to camp. When they arrived at their camp site, members Dick and Lainie Smithson from Peshastin joined the group and all had a hamburger cookout for dinner. Due to the rain earlier in the day, a campfire was enjoyed as well. The next day on October 9th, the group had a change of plans due to the new snow line that had showed up overnight at about the Cutthroat Pass elevation! They decided to ride at a lower altitude than Cutthroat so they rode from Goat Creek towards the Mazama Freestone Inn and then went up Jack's Loop Trail to Shaffer Meadow before heading back to their Goat Creek camp. In all, it was about a 10 mile ride. Everyone contributed to a pot luck dinner back in camp, and were even able to have another campfire, which everyone appreciated!
