BLM CANYONLAND TMP 11/29/2016

 

The BLM has “opened” comments for the Owyhee County TMP.

Similar to last year it’s during a inconvenient time to make comments and there was no public
notice of the plan.

The Owyhee Avalanche is the only pubilc notification that I’m aware and it was published 8 days
after the comment period opened .  

I emailed comments in January 2016 and did not receive notification of the new plans 

I have included the Jacks Creek area .

There are no washes or connecting single track  were inventoried .
Below is the south my past routes .

Below is one of my rides.



 

Plan A – no changes

All the Maps can be found here .

David Wood has also noticed that many of the roads that run to overlooks and trail heads
mandated in the  Owyhee Wilderness bill have been closed.

Loop ~ 315 miles

Riders – Tim , John

The weekend was forecasted to be unseasonable warm and dry.
Tim sent me a message asking if I was riding Saturday .
Yeap ,I wanted to go to Three Forks.

As I was getting the bike ready Saturday morning I noticed a coolant leak.
It was just a loose clamp and I was able to tighten without removing any panels .

It was still chilly Saturday morning.

I  found that when it’s <50F, I really don’t like riding > 50 MPH.

Tim’s GS ADV , first bike envy I’ve had in awhile.

Didn’t have time to explore and I was running low on fuel.
About 3-4 miles from Hwy 95 my fuel light came on. I packed a gallon of gas but
wanted to see what my range would be.
I rolled into Jordon Valley with ~ 215 miles on the tank. 
It took ~ 5.4 gallons to fill up , I was down to my last half gallon.

The Jordan Creek Road into Silver City had some icy puddles .

Ruby City

Idaho Hotel , looks closed for the season

Rolled home ~ 8PM .
