Before meeting up with the Jeeps, stopped and admired the historical Longview FD sta. 1. It's been in. service for over 100 years and one of the few that still has a usable fire pole.

The next trail we chose for the newbies was one called We Show. It was a very short, but right trail with a few good challenging spots!
Nick stretching before heading in!

Alex coming around fixing to make a try at the climb

Toward the middle of the trail there is a decent obstacle that because of the mud, made it a large ledge that wasn't passable. Because of the mud, it made it tough just to get over to the bypass.

Hitting the gas and heading straight up, he actually hit 3 wheels right after this shot!

Back on the ground, he was able to grab traction and come right up

ROCK GARDEN
Right next to camp, there is a section of boulders about 50 feet long known simply as the Rock Garden. Three of our group members decided to take on the challenge. Nick was the first to take on this rocky run.
