I have bought maybe half a dozen pairs of fenders since then to try. Sometime soon I need to drop most of the failures off to the local bike charity, I think I finally figured out which fenders I can pack in the case with the bike for future tours.
I just pull the panner covers off and go about my business and then replace them the next day when it's grey and wet out. They get washed but not until it's necessary.

The White river flows into the Puyallup rive. When the snows melt on Mt. Rainier the rive overflows and this is what you get.



This was just pas the point that I wouldhave turned around... of course





Time to clean the drive train?
