BVC-CHAT dark riding

[Rebecca Riggs]

I live near Graham and Victoria-- I actually ended up going RPR to Greens
Prairie to SH30, then back Greens Prairie/SH6 to Graham. When I hit the
RPR/Greens Prairie intersection at 5:30 it was a little too dark to go to
Peach Creek, but I might try it tomorrow. My light is pretty good, shining
up to 25' in front of me. I was actually more afraid earlier in the ride
because I saw NO cars, and GPR and RPR were pitch black. I kept thinking a
feral pig or boogie man wood jump out of the dark. No more scary movies for
me.

Thanks for the suggestion on Timberline. I've biked around that area during
the day, I'll try it at night now.
