TED’S VIEW FROM THE OLD GOLD FORK LOOK OUT

GOLD FORK RIVER CROSSING.

I PARTED WAYS SOON AFTER THIS SINCE I NEEDED TO GET BACK FOR DINNER WITH MARILYN.

AT GOLD FORK LOOKOUT I MET 4 RIDERS FROM HAWAII .  THEY KEEP A STASH OF BIKES IN KETCHUM.

THEY SEIZED ONE BIKE A DAY OR TWO BEFORE. OIL PLUG WORKED LOOSE.

TOLD THEM THEY SHOULD BACK TRACK AND DO THE LOOP COUNTER CLOCKWISE TO AVOID THE CLIMB THRU THE SWITCHBACKS.

THEY ALSO HAD QUESTIONS ABOUT BEAR PETE-LOON LAKE AND TRIALS AROUND STANLEY.
