Also posted on FB, but figured I would add this here as well:

For anyone looking to get some Owyhee sites in, I'm planning a Trip on Saturday for sites: 23, 24, & possibly 9 or 10 depending on how the day goes. Should be a perfect day for weather and nice views.
 
I attached the Google Map layout going to all 4 sites, but I've never been to the area so I'm just going to plan for the first 2 (23,24) and see how it goes.
I'm planning to leave by 9am as it'll probably take up most of the day.
 
Would be happy to have some riders from here tag along!

This was a fun ride. Most of us did fine on larger adventure bikes, but the last bit going down into the Canyon for Birch Creek Ranch was steep and rocky, but a ton of fun. Expect many water crossings. If you look on Dan's post you can find the GPX file for the route we took. There is a shortcut that isn't too difficult called Mahogany Gap Road. There are a few gates to go through, and there were quite a bit of ruts in the road but it was a bit more direct.

23 and 24 are pretty easy. If you go to Birch Creek Ranch you might as well hit of Coffee Pot Crater since you are there. If you are worried about the difficulty, you could attempt Coffee Pot Crater first as it's a bit easier than Birch Creek. If you are feeling solid on Coffee Pot Crater you probably would be fine for Birch Creek.
