Riders- John , Byron
Loop – 231 miles
Byron and I took another stab at riding the Owyhee Tunnel canal road
into Owyhee Reservoir.
Breakfast at the The Bowling Alley
I thought I knew how to connect to the Tunnel Road off of HWY201 ,
but we still would have to cross peoples yards to connect.
We rode back to Succor Creek and took the Power line road .
Owyhee Reservoir .
The last mile of the descent into the canyon was steep and cobbley .
I found I had more control dead engine coasting , probably
because the ABS was disabled .
Found some shade at Snively Hot Springs .
I managed to loose my reading glasses.
Oregon’s Big Empty
Negro Rock
As we traveled through the canyon the bike showed the temperatures at 95F !
The canyon was also littered with dead cattle , probably winter kill from the storms .
In Vale I bought another pair of reading glasses then we dropped in next door
for a cold beer .
