I Ride: vn1500n2l | Did the Lowman Loop today
Met my bud, Bruce, at the Warm Springs Chevron at about 11am today. We took Hill Rd, et al, out to SH-55 and stopped at the Longbranch in HSB for a late brekkie (mine was a pair of hotcakes and scrambled eggs with bacon for $6). Done, we headed out to the Garden Valley Chevron for a top-off then fell behind a dude on silver Moto-Guzzi at the stoplight. No pavement at that short section. Moto-Guzzi dude did the pace then pulled over at Southfork Lodge in Lowman while we continued to Idaho City. There was some gravel on those big tar patches as well as a wet spot, but didn't slow us down much. Looks as if a vehicle rolled over by the northbound lane of Hwy 21 just south of Moore's Summit. Didn't see it, but Sheriff SUV was there as well as FD Utility Truck and couple of other vehicles with neon poles placed on road. We saw a big diesel towing truck coming up the road about a mile south of the "accident" so it's probably safe to assume that they had to close the road for awhile. BTW, hardly any other motorcycles around that day at least until we arrived in Idaho City. Stopped at Trudy's Kitchen for coffee and huckleberry pie. Done, Bruce split-off at Wilderness Ranch while I continued home. Nice day for a ride with hardly any traffic other than all the campers on southbound SH-55. |

That "dude" on the Guzzi likely, was my dad. Glad you had fun!

We first spotted him taking a leak by edge of turnout on Lowman-Banks Rd then he passed by while at Garden Valley Chevron. He has a cool bike.
