GREAT VISTA ON SHOOFLY CANYON ROAD

SHOOFLY CANYON – GREAT LOOKING ROAD

 

 

MOTORBIKES AREN’T SPECIFICALLY BAND, HOWEVER BARRY SAYS SAYS THE INTENT IS TO KEEP THE WHITE DEVIL DUAL SPORTERS OUT.

 

I STILL THINK I MIGHT BE AUTHORIZED

SINCE I COULDN’T  FIND MY COW WHEN I GOT UP THIS MORNING. IT MIGHT BE UP THIS CANYON.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

VIEW OF SHOOFLY DRAINAGE.

LITTLE JACK CREEK CROSSING. IF I HAD A REKULSE & A COUPLE OF BSU LINEMEN I MIGHT ATTEMPT IT ON THE 640. 

 

 

WE FOLLOWED LITTLE JACK CREEK BACK TOWARD PARKER RANCH

 

 

PARKER RANCH HOUSE

REFRESHMENT STOP AT BRUNEAU ONE STOP.

I HAD CHOCOLATE CHIP PECAN PIE !

BARRY “ TELL MICHELE I’M JUST LOOK’N AT THAT PIE !  I CAN’T TAKE ANYMORE  BMI-

              ( BIG MOMMA INSTIGATIONS)”

 

WE VISITED THE CRATER RINGS ON THE WAY BACK. ALWAYS WANTED TO RIDE TO THE BOTTOM. JOHN DIDN’T HAVE TO ASK ME TWICE !

HOWEVER OUR DIRT BIKE REFERENCE DIDN’T QUITE WORK FOR THE DR650 & KTM640.

THE KTM IS HEAVY, 400+ LBS, AND TALL , MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO DAB AND PADDLE.

GOT ~ 2/3 THE WAY DOWN AND DECIDED TO TURN AROUND ON A “FLAT” SPOT.

JOHN SAID HE TOOK A TUMBLE ON THE WAY DOWN, I MISSED IT.

WE GROOMED ~ 100 YDS, RODE, THEN REPEATED.   JOHN WAS SMOOTHER THAN ME ON THE WAY UP.

OH ANOTHER THING – THE RATTLE SNAKES AREN’T OUT YET !

 

AFTER WE GOT OUT WE TOOK A LOOK AT THE SECOND CRATER BEFORE WE HEADED HOME.
