- So beautiful.
Oh, hey.
A little unmarked single track.
You feeling frisky?
- I mean, I don't know about that.
- Come on, let's do it.
- Yeah, you're real confident, aren't you?
- I am.
The trail way is in its element right now, man.
- Oh my God.
- Exploration Onward!
- [Zack Courts] These are not fancy machines.
If anything, they're the cockroaches
of the motorcycling world.
Which means they're durable and not easily deterred.
But you won't meet motorcycles more willing
to smash through the underbrush.
And the Pacific Northwest proved
to be the perfect place to do just that.
Maybe too much so.
- Oh, I touched something down.
- Oh.
- Sounds like you did too.
- Oh my God.
(bouncy electronic music)
Caught a bow across the face, alright.
- End of the road man.
- I guess so.
- End of our little single track adventure.
- Yep, that's a cliff.
We don't want to go down that.
- Okay, well considering my front brake,
I'm not really looking forward to going back down that hill.
(laughs)
But I guess that's what we should do.
- I'm looking forward to it.
TW is just performing wonderfully.
- It is.
It's a little mountain goat.
- It's really good, but as usual, we've burned a bunch
of time having fun and we got a place to be.
- Yep, that's true.
(electronic groove music)
- Oh, right there.
DNR Horse Camp, that's where we're going.
Bust a U-ee.
What a remote and desolate location to have Snowcamp.
- [Ari Henning] We had completed the trek from Portland
to Snowcamp, and even though there wasn't any snow
or anyone riding their bikes, it was quickly apparent
that we were in the right place.
- I don't see it.
Oh, there's a bike.
- DR was a big tank.
- Alright.
What is, is that a Scrambler?
- Dude, I think it's a Scrambler Gladius.
- Whoa.
- Let's ask this guy.
How's it going?
Good, we are looking for Snowcamp.
This looks like the right spot.
- Right on.
TW, yeah, I got the fat tire.
How's it going?
Ari.
Jeff, nice to meet you.
Alright, cool.
We'll cruise around and get situated.
Glad we found it.
We're cold and hungry, so glad we found it.
I think we've come to the right place.
Also, our bikes fit in perfectly, which is nice.
- You got to go to a pretty special place
to have these bikes fit in perfectly,
but I think we might have found it.
(laughs)
(electronic rhythm music)
- Looks like we made it to Snowcamp.
Some similarly psychotic people who like to be in the cold.
Well, when you're from Los Angeles it is.
We're going to camp out with you guys.
We rode all the way up from Portland to join this activity.
Alright, let's get set up.
Something tells me that dog doesn't want you
to throw the ball very far.
- Goal C on this trip was to get to this camp before dark,
so we didn't have to set up camp at night, right?
- When have we ever set up camp in daylight?
Its never happened.
- Yeah, well really, we're on a pretty good streak here,
so why bother?
- But we made it to Snowcamp and there are some
kind looking folk over there hanging out
around what looks to be a very warm campfire.
And they've got a turkey frying,
and they also have one cooking via infrared.
So we're going to get camp set up and then go over
and join them.
Join these-
- Turkey cook off.
- Fellow motorcyclists that are willing
to subject themselves to this sort of cold.
(funky country music)
- [Zack Courts] Luckily, there was still plenty of food.
And while we stuffed ourselves with turkey
and good conversation, the old hands talked us
through some Snowcamp etiquette.
- Snowcamp, if you didn't sign in, you weren't here. 111 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,630 The sign says it, so we're signing this here log.
I guess it's going to go down in history that we were here.
2019.
- I signed ‘Throttle Out Show’, and then you're just going to
put your name and your bike.
- Alright, oh cool.
I like that there's a list for vehicle.
- Me too.
So mighty TW gets its credit.
- [Ari Henning] And with that, we were official Snowcampers.
Or, so we thought.
- There is one more badge of honor that these Snowcampers
want us to earn before we are really sort of welcomed
into the circle it seems like.
- Yeah, so it seems like we got one last thing we got to do.
- Mm.
For now, we go to sleep.
- In this tent, in the cold.
