I TOOK THE 950 UP THRU PRAIRIE , PINE – FEATHERVILLE, BAUMGARTNER, BIG SMOKEY, FAIRFIELD TO SCOUT CAMPSITES FOR THE LAZY BUTT.
RIGHT NOW THE DECISION IS TO KEEP IT AT BAUMGARTNER.
LOOP ~265 MILES / RIDE TIME ~7 HRS
OVERCAST SO A LITTLE CHILLY ON TOP. MADE ME KEEP THE SPEEDS LOW & PLANTED ON THE SEAT.
STOPPED AT “CINDY’S” IN FEATHERVILLE FOR A CHILI DOG AND COFFEE,
NO "DOGS" ALLOWED SO BARRY HAD TO STAY OUTSIDE.
PHONE WITH FREE CALLS TO BOISE IS ONE OF THE AMENITIES OF BAUMGARTNER.
ON THE WAY INTO FAIRFIELD I DECIDED TO EXPLORE THE “BROWN SALT ROAD”. WENT ABOUT 2/3 THIRDS THE WAY AND DECIDED TO TURN AROUND.
NEAT VIEWS ALONG THE WAY. LOOKS LIKE IT DEAD ENDS NEAR BROWN’S CREEK TRAIL.
JUST BEEN GRADED, WONDER WHAT IS ON TOP ?
STOPPED IN AT THE FAIRFIELD RANGER STATION TO DOUBLE CHECK SEASONAL TRAIL CLOSURES. WE’RE IN GOOD SHAPE FOR THE LAZY BUTT. ALSO FOUND OUT THE NEW SINGLE TRACK – GARDNER GULCH – IS OPEN SO YOU DON’T HAVE TO CROSS THE SF BOISE RIVER AT THE END OF BEAVER CREEK !.
MY FAVORITE RANGER STATION ! PROBABLY THE MOST DIRT BIKE FRIENDLY IN THE COUNTRY !
BARRY “ I CAN CHANGE THAT ! I’M NOT HAPPY UNTIL YOUR NOT HAPPY.”
STOPPED IN THE WRANGLER FOR MORE COFFEE. THEY REMEMBERED BARRY !
ALSO TOLD ME THEY WERE EXPECTING A DUSTING OF SNOW AT 7500 FT.
BARRY-
“LET ME BE CLEAR IT IS SURE LONELY AT THE TOP , BUT IT’S A BITCH AT THE BOTTOM !”
