The inside story on outside recreation for South Puget Sound and beyond
Monday, July 20th, 2009
Posted by Jeff Mayor @ 11:27:20 am

The members of the Washington Army National Guard's 286th Engineer Company headquartered in Yakima, recently completed their two-week summer training. While the trainig takes place every year, this year's work will be of interest to outdoors enthusiasts.

The engineer unit worked with the Okanogon-Wenatchee National Forest to create a rock crawl area for ATV and off-road vehicle riders. The unit also worked to improve some of the roads in the area and repair damage done previously by ORVs.
