Correction - this is NOT Cycle Wild's last camping trip of the season. The last trip will be to Alder Flat on November 7-8.
(Alder Flat is a campground in the Mount Hood National Forest)
If you can come out to camp with us at Bagby, please do so! This may be the last free trip to Bagby - the Forest Service is talking about bringing in a concessionaire to manage the site.
