=== Day 3: 9/21 Monday {{done}} === :'''Note:''' Sunset at 7:01PM; sunrise at 6:49AM. :'''Note:''' If anybody needs to make the trip shorter, there's an option to take Route 12 from Yakima towards Mt. Rainier. ;Route: * Yakima Canyon/Big Pines campground to Brooks Memorial State Park (~76 miles/3600ft) [https://ridewithgps.com/routes/34092884 Ride with GPS link]. This will likely involve riding on gravel while being chased by dogs + hot, dry road (Route 97: ~38 miles) up to a pass with no towns, shops, or shade. ;Plan: * Consider leaving the campsite around 7AM, so that we are not on 97 during the hottest hours (i.e. after 1PM). 38miles of mostly downhill on paved road from the canyon campground to the beginning of 97. * Pick up tons of water/gatorade in Wapato or Toppenfish as there are no shops or houses on 97. And it's hot. ;Food: * Breakfast: cold breakfast/pick up something in Yakima * Lunch: Route Optionpick up something in Yakima, Wapato, or Toppenfish and have it on route 97 * Dinner: camp food ;Overnight: Stay in [https://parks.state.wa.us/482/Brooks-Memorial Brooks Memorial State Park]. Reservations end on September 15th so all sites are first-come-first-served. '''Water, showers, toilets are available.''' The park has 22 standard sites (sites 24-45), 23 full-hookup sites (sites 1-23), one dump station, one restroom and two showers. A limit of eight people are permitted per site. Maximum site length is 60 feet (limited availability). Electrical sites have 50 amp hookups. Water is available in hookup sites from mid-April to late October. Check-in time is 2:30 p.m. Check-out time is 1 p.m. ;TODO: * <strike>make a [https://washington.goingtocamp.com/ | reservation] at Brooks Memorial State Park (long day/Option 2):</strike> (not possible) ;Alternate Plan: There's a plan for a short day that has us staying in Toppenish instead: * Yakima Canyon to to hotel in Toppenish (~38miles/38tft); They all look kinda bad (see below). * <strike>make a reservation either at a motel/Yakama Nation RV Park (short day/Option 1)</strike> (Yelp and other sources suggests this is closed and they are not picking up the phone...) * Other options are: Toppenish Inn And Suites; or [https://gc.synxis.com/rez.aspx?Hotel=77053&Chain=21809 Legends Casino Hotel] (~$138 per room/night); there's a third option in Toppenish but it looks sketchy even by Mako's adventurous standards * If we're doing this, we have more time to play in the canyon in the morning AND '''pick up tamales''' at [http://www.loshernandeztamales.com/ Los Hernandez] in Yakima or Union Gap. Open only from 11AM... * Also, the next day will be long and hard (63-77miles/3000-3500ft).
