New parking space
New tacos
Even the route had a different flavor. Biased to the northeast, we hit SPI roads, Park Creek, Barnes Back, 1A, and B is for Barf. Felt like the days when Lars would lead.
The pine Lodge was moderately busy when we arrived, and nobody noticed us. Chickenbake didn't ask for Taco Handles. And the party was still going when we left. Though Cappy hated everything about the experience at first, by the time we were leaving he couldn't wait to come back. And the consensus was that we would give it another Tuesday.
Some notes:
Bring cash for your tacos, if possible. Bar tab is separate from meal tab. The carnitas tacos (pictured) are superior. The ground beef are mediocre, though Chickenbake acknowledged that they weren't her best. I had no problem eating six. Wednesday morning reactions were mixed. At the parking area there is plenty of room to park down towards the gate and still be off the road. Do NOT make eye contact with the loud chick at the end of the bar.
For anyone still reading, the running of Strawberry Kirkwood that went down on Sunday was the hardest ever.
The downed trees weren't too bad, but the steep snowfields on the Sentinel Trail were treacherous.
The Strawberry Jeep Road threw every possible condition at us, from long snow rides to hub-deep mud.
Can't wait for the next LRP.

ReplyDeleteThank you nocar for keeping the blog alive. Loved both write ups. How long did SKW take? Also, was that a typeo in paragraph two where you wrote "The Knot Hole was moderately busy" did you mean Pine Lodge? not Know Hole.
Typo? I have no idea what you're talking about
