Saddlebags are backpacks for bicycles. The idea of these meetings is:
- Arrive on a bike
- Discuss the route to be ridden
- Place the map, paper and writing utensils in your saddlebag
- Ride the route, stop and record when needed
- Regroup at a designated location to discuss findings
If a person does not want to ride, they are welcome to come for the discussions and either wait for the bike riders to return or walk part of the route.

Join the community along with the Lake Quinault Cancer Society and pedal with purpose during the 26th Lake Quinault Rainforest Cancer Fund Bike Ride.
This is the 26th year of the ride, which happens rain or shine (usually shine!). The funds raised by this activity are used to assist members of the Quinault/Neilton/Amanda Park area who are diagnosed with cancer or have some other catastrophic illness or life event. The funds can be used for gas money, meals, lodging and more. Funds can also be used to assist when a resident experiences a different catastrophic event like a house fire or serious accident.
The ride is non-competitive, un-timed, and appropriate for all ages, and is a very popular event with lots of riders who return every year. Helmets are required. It starts and ends at the Lake Quinault School in Amanda Park. The route goes from the school to North Shore Road, up to the Park bridge and back down the South Shore Road and back to the school. The route is approximately 30 miles, with half being paved roadway and the other half well-packed gravel. Riders get to experience the beautiful Quinault valley in it’s full glory, with beautiful views, wildlife sightings and lots of fresh air to enjoy. There are comfort stations at 2 spots along the route which provide bathroom facilities, snacks and water. “Sag wagons” patrol the route as well, ready to offer assistance or a ride to anyone in need. Food services, lodging and camping are available at various locations at the lake.
T-shirts are available for an additional $10 each. Pre-registration is not required, but is recommended if you want to be sure of a t-shirt, as a limited number are made each year. You can call 360-580-1206 or email mgstamon@comcast.net for additional information or to obtain a registration form.

The Coastal Interpretive Center is having a fundraising event called the “Seafood Shindig.” The event will feature local Quinault Tribal members preparing salmon in the traditional way. It will be served with coleslaw, garlic bread, water or pop, and dessert. Spaghetti will be offered as an alternative if someone would rather not have salmon. Galway Bay Pub is partnering to offer additional beverages for sale in an outside beer garden. We are selling tickets for three timeslots (2:00, 4:00, and 6:00). Tickets are available at Coastal Interpretive Center, Ocean Shores Visitor Center, The Dusty Trunk, Sipping Serendipity, Gordon’s Antiques, and in Aberdeen at GH Wine Sellars and the Visitors Center.
In addition to the dinner, we will be having a silent auction and raffle items during each time slot. We hope that lots of our locals see the benefit of keeping the Interpretive Center open for all to enjoy.
