Spent a week in McCall and this was a target of opportunity and also stumbled into a nifty little bar across the street with some very friendly locals who were wondering why I was wearing “snowmobile pants”.

Trailered up to New Meadows and rode the GS down to Council for the days journey. It was a hot one.

I was at Old Railroads Park sign and failed to get a picture. I camped at Lafferty Campground between Cuprum and Council after visiting Kinney Point.

Thanks to everyone who joined the group ride up to Council! Especially with putting up with that stretch of 3 difficulty road when I promised a 2, haha. That was a beautiful trip, glad I got to share that country North of Emmett with everyone.

We took a special route, so my challenge rating reflects that as opposed to simply taking the highway there.

Took a trip from Emmett up to Council, musta had 7 in the group. Trail/road was in great shape, but SOMEHOW couple of us got to sample the dirt. I ain’t saying who, but I will be keeping the Tylenol close tonight. πŸ™‚ Great group you put together Mr. Wyatt!

This site in downtown Council is pretty much a stroll from my place. We stopped by on our way to Dad’s Place for an elk burger Friday night. Cheers!
