    Friday found us ready for a dualsport ride. We were originally going to trailer the bikes south and ride at Little Mountain, but the weather looked like storms might come up down that way, so Kim and i met up down in town and rode from there up to the top of White Mountain and Pilot Butte. Then we rode a stretch of county road (unpaved) to a two track that meandered through a drainage valley of Alkali Creek. We popped out the west end onto another dirt highway that ran along the Green River. We ended up in the town of Green River, where we took a much needed lunch break at Don Pedro's Family Mexican restaurant. From there, we would take another dirt route south of town, eastward back to Rock Springs. That road was not a well groomed highway, but rather a curvy, hilly, rocky jeep trail that was washed out in several places, though this was no problem for two European enduro bikes. On this leg of the journey, the storms that we had been speculating about were pressing their way northward, and we were watchful of them as we motored along. The storm front never covered us, but came close enough to offer some cooling breezes and cover from the sun. As it was, we managed to stay just out of the rain clouds reach as we wended our way homeward. We could not have asked for a better summer day of dual sport riding. It was about 78 unhurried miles of mostly dirt.

    Just got my resident fishing license, yesterday. The fishing will proceed. but now the water is getting sort of warm in the Green river at this time of year. Will have to fish deep to get the trout.
    I have quite an eclectic collection of kooky and unusual jerseys, thanks to having nothing to do during the long snowy winters up here, and having discovered the Ali Express website. Most jerseys go for between 8 and 15 bucks, but you can't get them "now". It usually takes about 6 weeks to get one delivered.
