Oyhee Uplands Back Country Byway
I didn't need to sell ol' steelhead on another trip to the Owyhee Byway. He was ready to ride and even showed early in anticipation of a long day in the saddle. After a tire pressure check we hit the road about 8:30 am. and wound our way on the backroads to the towns of Kuna, Melba and Murphy. We left ID highway 78 at the turnoff to Oreana then rode the Oreana Cuttoff Road to Doyle Road. I stopped for site photos at Doyle Place.
Poison Ck. to Leslie & back on Succor Ck.
Ol' steelhead and I had been waiting for the "perfect" day to ride to Leslie Gulch and we got it. I planned to ride to Marsing and ride Poison Creek to Rockville and then into Leslie Gulch. I had never been on Poison Creek before so it was great to finally get to see this part of Oregon/Idaho. First stop was the Poison Creek Stage Stop.
