Pocetello Mountain Range, Pocatello ID

Yesterday we rode the east side of the Carribou Forest in Pocatello. Today we travel to Baker City, Oregon in route to Mt. Rainier in Washington state.

Carribou Nat'l Forest, Pocatello ID Ride #2

Yesterday we returned to Carribou Nat'l Forest. We enjoyed the trails, esp. the switchbacks and manuevered deep gravel without incident. We experienced a variety of terrain including farms high amid plains between mountains. Everywhere we go the topography differs from previous. We continue to be pleased with the performance of our Hondas, CRF230Ls.

Carribou Nat'l Forest, Scout Mountain Pocatello, ID

Yesterday we explored Carribou Nat'l Forest and found various kinds of terrain and views. There are farm fields high in the mountains; about 8,000 feet. The high plains were planted with hay in various stages of growth and harvest, depending on altitude, along with free-range cattle. We will go back tomorrow to continue exploring the many trails.

Pocatello, ID

We are in Pocatello, Idaho. The bottom picture is on the road, the top is our spot in Cowboy RV Park in Pocatello. We think there will be lots of riding opportunities!
Another Vernal?

Adjustments

The last 2 days we have been making adjustments to our towing package.
We sold the trailer and bought a carrier that holds 2 dirt bikes. Now we can go to Washington, Oregon, and California (triple towing is illegal). To accomodate the carrier we had to install helper airbags for the extra weight.

Jones Hole, Diamond Mountain Vernal Utah

Yesterday we rode to Diamond Mountain and onto the fish hatchery in Jones Hole. This ride, and Vernal in general, goes from desert to mountains taking us through gorges, ravines, passes, overlooks, cliffs, giant rock formations, dinosaur trails and multiple weather conditions; all in the same day! We really need a helmet camera to better capture Vernal's incredible scenery.

Red Cloud Loop Day 2, Vernal Utah

Today Jim did some service on the bikes; oil change, throttle adjustment and cleaned the chains. So, we went back up Taylor Mountain to continue Red Cloud Loop. Today we experienced thunder, lightning, pouring rain and freezing temps as shown on the attached picture of snow. It was all worth it as the many free range cows would concur. The scenery was breathtaking. We were high in the mountains with a stronge smell of pines. Dirt biking turned into mud biking. It does not get much better!
