Crystal Crane Hot Spring recovery ride


By Special Ed - Posted on 03 May 2010

Back in 3-26-2010 I went on a great group ride to Crystal Crane Hot Springs. It was 3 days and just over 600 miles of fun riding and good company…  But I lost some of my camping gear on the last day (My tent)

 
I realized this on our way to Jordon Craters and I last saw it about 50 miles back at Malheur cave.
2 bags on the back
 
 
only 1 bag
 
I remember loosening the strap looking for a tie-down and forgot to tighten it back up. I convince myself it was okay because I didn’t like the tent and now I can get a better one. But a week or so after I lost it, it stated to bug me more and more.  I thought I might take a ride and go look for it (ya Right)  
I finally got a chance to get out, and this is my RR.

Just out of Marsing I hit dirt on Poison creek road

 Pioson creek station

Mayhogany mountain

End of this road

old winter Kill

Steens mountain

Steens and Jordon Craters

Owyhee river overlook

I had about 5 miles before I got to Rome OR and I knew my tent was long gone..... Wait what's that in the trail????

How often does that happen??? There was about 2 miles of primitive 2 track that no one has been on, and there it was. It sure made my day.

Over the next riidge I saw these deer

After 100 miles of dirt I crossed the old HWY bridge in Rome and headed into Jordon Valley for some fuel then on to Nampa via HWY95. As I aproached Cow creek road I thought I would try and see how far I could get into Silver City. I only made it 15 miles before I hit this 

Good times!
