While driving from Arlington to Darrington it was pouring. However, when I got to Darrington, it was partly cloudy so I was excited about hitting a break in the weather. I went up to the lower shuttle lot and soon, rain began hard down low again and then turned to snow at the lot.

It was a wet sticky snow, so not the kind that bounces off the rain gear. I decided to have fun in the truck instead of exposed on the bike and drove around the lower shuttle lot and lower shuttle road up towards Lower Skyline.

It was a fun time watching the weather's dynamic changes and fun enjoying the four wheeling in the truck. The bike ride was a bust but still a fun time. I'll come back another time.

Since you tolerated this 'non-ride' report so far, here is another mtb music parody and the reason for the "Nevermind" in the title. Sing this part of the report to "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana.

Load up for fun, ride with friends
No fun to lose, during your sends
A missing board, feature obscured
Pinch flats suck say your dirty words

Air low, air low, air low, no flow,
Air low, air low, air low, no flow,
Air low, air low, air low, no flow,
Air low, air low, air low,

When the sun’s out, it’s less dangerous
On the flow trails, entertain us
Don’t be stupid, know your limits,
Mod your bike with, a few gimmicks
New Enduro, Turbo Levo, or Kenevo, boosts libido
Yeah, hey, ….yay

I’m worse, for sure, when it’s wet
But love the sport, Washington’s best
And Evergreen our advocates
Promote the stoke and trail work

Air low, air low, air low, no flow,
Air low, air low, air low, no flow,
Air low, air low, air low, no flow,
Air low, air low, air low, 

When the sun’s out, it’s less dangerous
On the flow trails entertain us
Don’t be stupid, know your limits,
Mod your bike with a few gimmicks
New Enduro, Turbo Levo, or Kenevo, boosts libido
Yeah, hey, ….yay

And I forget, just why I ride
Oh yeah it makes me feel alive
I saw a bear, that’s hard to find
It ran away, so nevermind

Air low, air low, air low, no flow,
Air low, air low, air low, no flow,
Air low, air low, air low, no flow,
Air low, air low, air low,

When the sun’s out, it’s less dangerous
On the flow trails entertain us
Don’t be stupid, know your limits,
Mod your bike with a few gimmicks
New Enduro, Turbo Levo, or Kenevo, boosts libido

Gave it my all
Gave it my all
Gave it my all
Gave it my all
Gave it my all
Gave it my all
Gave it my all
Gave it my all
Gave it my all!   :-)
