8-15 There are several miles of hiking trails. We were content to stay close to the parking areas.

8-15 Oakley to Arco 228 miles This was the longest leg of the trip. Halfway thru the day we made the decision to head north and try to get away from the heat. As soon as I got back I started looking into what it would take to put AC in this rig. Since winter is coming I'll probably never do it...

8-14 The NF gets lots of RV/ATV use on the west side. These are big developments for motorhomes, toyhaulers and all sorts of camping & riding folks. We blasted thru that insanity as fast as possible. A couple of the trails we were planning on were closed to full size rigs so we had to route on...

8-14 continued Looking back down the canyon toward Jarbidge Got on Three Creek Road heading for the Sawtooth National Forrest. Salmon Falls Creek and Reservoir Into the Sawtooth National Forrest. We pretty much stuck to little one lane winding roads like this one.

8-14 Starting the morning same as all mornings, checking over the basics. Nice country down in the canyon. Some interesting rock formations. Like sentinels watching over the road The back trail

So out of the canyon and once again headed cross country on dirt roads and trails to the next canyon over, Jarbidge. This one was pretty much a road. One lane down to the river. Signs said road closed but a rancher nearby said it's only part washed out. Somewhere along this leg we crossed over...

8-13 continued So after a swim/bath in the creek we had lunch and moved on. Just remembered, there were lots of chucker in the creek bottom. Every where we went we were jumping coveys. The dog had fun. The trail out of the canyon was a walk in the park compared to the trail down. But this time...

8-13 at Black Rock Crossing on the Bruneau River At the bottom of the Canyon are some old buildings And a little cowboy bath in the creek or cowgirl in the case:-))) The cool water felt great in the 100 degree heat.

We arrive at the canyon rim and begin walking down. You can see portions of the trail down in the lower right. Looking back up the trail We jumped a couple of rattlers and that combined with the anticipation of going down this trail really got the adrenaline pumping. Those dam snakes...

Fri 8-13-2010 97 miles So from the bombing range back to the blacktop south for a few miles to Grasmere. Kinda hoped to top of the tank but the few buildings looked like a ghost town. The only gas station had been shuttered for years. Leaving the backtop onto nice dirt roads Learned that...

After the farm land we got back on the black top, hwy 51 and went south for about 15 miles to the next trail I had marked. This one went down the west side of the canyon. Off 51 headed east toward the canyon we passed another bombing range. This one we could get close enough, like right next to...

Of course we weren't going to go back to the black top if we could avoid it so we started cross country. The GPS says there is suppose to be a POI (point of interest) out here. So off we go headed west Ah the POI - City of Rocks. Kinda interesting. Looks like years of errosion from the winds...

Now crossing this is going to be fun. But that's gonna have to be somewhere else! The first of several unfriendlys Learned from the locals that the crossing down here is gone. So we are headed over there somewhere.

8-12 Saturday 154 miles Leaving Sinker Creek Canyon. It rained a little over night. Fortunately it stopped. Climbing out was the first time the lockers were engaged. Little truck climbs like a mountain goat. I was pleased. Just some pics of the trail. Little guy wanted to play...
