    Well, we had our eye on Three Forks on the Owyhee but we had more ambition than time so that ride will have to wait til next time. Do you know if there's gas available in Rome?


    And thanks, everyone, for the compliments. I had a great time on the ride, and had a good time putting the report together. Next time, though, I'm going to split the photos up into 2 separate photo albums on PhotoBucket; the file was so big it was taking forever to get the photos in the post:banghead:

    :lol: Thanks, Ace! We rode Thurs, Fri, Sat and Mon (I'm not including the little 40-mile attempt on Sunday when Eric's fuel screw fell out) and logged 608 miles. We only meant to do a short trip on Thursday, the day we got there, but it turned into a much bigger ride than we thought...but we were happy about it! :thumbsup:

    I still haven't posted photos of the wildflowers :D

    Hey : I saw you reply on ADV rider , the post on Northeast Or. My son(Greg) is the rider in blue helmet, red jacket, yellow Suuzuki. His buddy Jim was on the Husky 610. I referred him to your story( In search of water) . His remark was , ' I know that area and all the soaking springs " He really enjoyed the report as did I . Thanks: Julio

    You should replace your headlight shell with that skull, what's another 15 pounds of high placed weight going to hurt. :D

    I can only imagine the glowing eyes of that skull when she was riding!

    Talk about a super moderator picture - very intimidating. :D
