I must also mention that it sure was a relief to have all my trees back when I got home - once you get past Iowa it gets pretty barren man - there's only so much mountains and sagebrush a guy from west/central Indiana can take before he gets homesick for his backwoods hillbilly lifestyle in the lush deciduous bottom lands. That great wide open aint for me to live in, but I sure do love visiting it! Next year, we're thinking Walden Colorado - any input??
If ya wanted that, you should have took a 56 mile drive north on the 20 highway from St Anthonys and you'd have been in some of the greenest, thickest forest you'll ever see in the Targhee National Forest. Watchout for them Grizzly Bears though.

Glad you had a great time. I'll be there in less than 2 weeks and I'm definatly gonna check it out behind the mountain this time. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

hey wshrdskin - did I mention that your website and all its videos were some of the greatest inspiration we had in preparing for this trip? thanks for all that dude, it really helped us to decide on going, and we're all plenty glad we went.

Well, if not, you did now. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Glad it helped you out.

Those places are great fun and everyone should try and find a way to get to them. I'll be having family in Oregon as soon as this summer (oops, thats now) and I'm sure the wife will want to see them from time to time so, the Oregon Dunes will one day be part of that website. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Looking forward to that. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Good to hear your trip was a success( any time you and the bike make it back in one piece it's a success!) It was good to meet you and your crew, I enjoyed our ride albeit it was brief. Look forward to the next one
later.

Hightower, from what I understand, Waldon is good riding but pretty small. I think after riding those 2 areas you would be pretty disapointed in Walden. I would recommend coming farther west and hitting Sand Mtn Nev then maybe up to the Oregon Dunes. I have seen pics that look unbeleivable pretty. Sorry i missed you guys but maybe next year.

Well it was good riding with you guys. Sorry about the temps those are usually a lot lower this time of year but we were in a hell of a hot spell for a while. It is funny because it just snowed on top of the mountains yesterday and the temps are in the 60's now!! Well hope you decide to make the trip out again sometime and we will get to ride some more.

I only have a quick minute, but I want to say that those dunes out there are F'ing awesome!! I had the time of my life!!! Sorry Utah guys, but Idaho really rocked my world! I love that place, just not the best campgrounds that we wound up staying in. Utah had nicer campgrounds I thought.

The bowls in Idaho are unbelievable! My dream come true! Devil's dune is a rush to climb too..... Choke Cherry could choke it's cherry on Devil's Dune!! hehe God what a massive pile of sand to climb!

Thanks to EVERYONE that we met, for your hospitality and help through out our stay! It wouldn't have been anywhere near as fun without all of you guys...... and gals! Thanks for the bowl tour Sandgod and Sandgoddess! That was the best ride of my trip to Lil Sahara Utah ~ thanks y'all!

OH and BTW - the Dutch Oven was killer!! Thanks! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Other than the video that I took while out there, I have 184 digital pictures also!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pics to come guys!
