Trafton General Store The guy walking in front of the store here said that he had several vintage Honda Gold Wings that he bought for $750 each in a lot. Wow!..He said that the rain got much worse east of the Oso Landslide Memorial, so I decided to make that my turn-back point.
Oso Landslide Memorial This was the main goal of the ride. I'd been to the location several times before, but this was the first time I saw a full-on memorial park here...I had to duck under the shelters a few times because of some heavy showers passing through.
Parked at the Oso Landslide Memorial You can see the landslide itself in the background.
Whitehorse Trail They really paved it here! Wow!
