Thunderstorms

I was hoping to put up a new post of a great all day ride. At least That is what I have been told. The problem is that there has been thunderstorms and rain the last three days. Currently, radar shows that it is pouring over in the mountains we were going to ride in. May be on my next set of days off.

Fall Creek















I took the boys over to Fall Creek on 7-26-05.

Before we stared the ride we ran over to the Fall Creek Camp ground,
Which is just a few miles from the trailhead

Fall Creek Campground

Loacated N43.43685, W111.36213

The campground sits on the Snake River
World class Trout fishing
Make sure you bring a pole

The campground has several toilet facilities
There is running water available
There are several trash dumpsters
About 1 mile before the campground entrance is Fall Creek
The falls are fun to play in, just do not swin out to far or you will end up in the current of the main river

Ride trailhead is located N43.43311, W111.40329
This is where we parked and headed over to Pritchard creek trail which is on the north side of the Fall Creek road
That loop was about 16 miles
After a short break back at the parking lot we took of on the Fall Creek trail
with the ride back down the road include this loop was about 31 miles
The highest point on our ride was 7978
I think this was the longest single ride day the boys have been on

As you can see from the background in the picture above things are pretty green
I do not know if they are saying we ar still in a drought but the grass, weeds, and wilflowers are doing will this year.
