Just looking at Google maps and see the school in right next to Boise bomb shelter. http://boisebombshelter.com/

Too bad. We will have to plan a ride when you are free as I think Wayne and I have quite flexible schedules. Let us know when a good day and time is for you. Hope to see you soon.

Bikerlibre · 08-02-2012, 04:06 PM

Sorry to hear that Knobby, catch you next time.
You other guys back on the original schedule?

knobbyfeet · 08-02-2012, 04:48 PM

Weekends really are the best for me, especially on Sundays.

JamesD · 08-02-2012, 11:00 PM

Good ride guys.

Bikerlibre · 08-03-2012, 07:42 AM

Yeah, good ride!

Did you take a GPS waypoint at the location we last stopped to follow the dirt road towards Horseshoe Bend? It finally emerged from the woods but didn't clear up, it was getting late & so we retreated never knowing if we were on the right route. Lots of terrain to explore out there.

knobbyfeet · 08-03-2012, 07:53 AM

Pics? Sorry that I couldn't make it, I really wanted to. Couldn't get away until 6:00

Anyone wanna go riding tomorrow night?? Or heck, tonight??

ConradM · 08-03-2012, 08:40 AM

How was Bogus? Still pretty sandy?

Didn't encounter any sand up in the trees so you're good to go. The only sand I saw was on a turn or two while still in the foothills.

Knobby, I can't find time this weekend but perhaps next.

99Bassa · 08-03-2012, 04:27 PM

Just a teaser.......

Look real hard in the center of the pic.

Fun ride.....more fun cause I did not crash.

Bikerlibre · 08-03-2012, 09:35 PM

Thanks Mike, you took some really nice pics.

Seems we were on the right track - Porter Cr. rd. per the Google Earth path I sent to you. You can see where we reached following the path to just past the tight switchback just after we got out of the trees and it opened up on foothills sage. I'm not sure but at some point ahead, the elevation might drop fairly sudden . Another ride will tell.

Have a fabulous weekend guys.
