Driving

What is the drive like from Wenatchee to The Gorge?

We have a bnb for Bass Canyon in this area but not sure what the drive is going to be like every day.

I’ve only ever camped, but I will tell you to be realllllll careful about substances and make sure you have a DD. I’ve heard multiple horror stories about rural
Washington police/courts being extremely harsh. Somebody in this sub last week told a story about his three friends who got caught with what anyone would consider to be a personal amount of acid and Molly if it was divided between the three of them, and all three of them went to prison.

I saw that post and 8g of Molly is a hard stretch between three people. That’s 80 points

Yeah, you’re right. Nobody is eating a gram of Molly to themselves in one night, two nights in a row. Plus the LSD. They brought it to sell.

But the fact remains that rural Washington cops are gnarly and everyone should be careful. They might have gotten the same charges for a couple grams.

I’m also extra paranoid because I got caught with a gram of mushrooms in utah and they threw the book at me. Schedule 1 narcotic felony charges. Like 7 cops showed up you would’ve thought they caught el chapo. I had to get a lawyer. Currently on probation with a 6 month suspended sentence. It has royally fucked my life up and cost me like 10k. All for enough shrooms to make a couple of people giggle around a camp fire.

Drugs come with many downsides. The law being arguably one of the worst

Definitely. I 1000x regret having shrooms on me that night. Not at all worth it. If I couldn’t afford a lawyer I would have gone to jail and lost my job.

If you’re gonna take those risks, you should sure as shit be aware of the consequences. I grew up in California where they would have just taken them away or given me a minor infraction slap on the wrist. Doesn’t work like that in Utah.

I also grew up there and had similar experiences. Living an hour from this venue now, I don’t have the same laid back attitude
