I took the day off to knock of several outstanding challenge sites. Rode the back country byway for the first time. Rained last night, roads soupy and slippy. I was 2-up with my wife. We had a great time.

It's paved the whole way there, if you come from the East. we started here on our trip. The day was young and rain showers were off in the distance keeping the desert heat to down.

Easy ride from Grand View to the cemetary via Mud Flat Rd. Paved all the way. Ran into some extra powerful pivots drenching the road and washing off the bugs on my bike. 🙂 Easy 1 difficulty.

I rode down Poison Creek cut-off and out to Doyle‘s Place cabin and then down to mud flat Road and to shoofly cemetery. Mud flat Road is paved to the cemetery so I’m reading it a one. I stopped at the little store in Grand View and got a Klondike bar to round out a fun day in the Owyhees.

Pretty good paved road. The Oolite trail just west of the cemetery is a nice short hike.

From Doyle Place Cabin we continued on to Shoo Fly. This is a solid 1 the entire way except for the last 20 yards where it's fairly sandy. You can walk the last little bit, so I'm ranking it a 1.
