Day 1 - 330 miles. Done riding for the day. Unfortunately I am done in Burns, OR so there will be no pictures. If you have ever been to Burns you know there is nothing here to take a picture of, and nothing to do either. So I will rest in the room with beer.

Day 2 - 350 miles. Making Sun Valley home for the night.

The only wildlife that would stand still long enough.

Oops, I forgot to tip the bellboy. He'll get over it.

A fun town to spend a night out. 

Time for bed.

The gondoola as we roll out of Sun Valley.

Lava beds across Idaho.

Spatter cones at Craters of the Moon. Hey Conrad, all those shots you think are coming from Curiosity were taken here. :)


In Idaho Falls for lunch, then off to Jackson Hole to spend a day or two.
Bike is running like a champ, best bike for a trip yet.
