Summer solstice sunset, Immigrant Point Overlook, the Presidio, San Francisco. definitely six BARFers in the pic, and maybe seven, not sure if Mr James M has a handle, and guess I made eight.

Nice shot, plenty warm yesterday! This gives me a terrible idea for next summer solstice.. plan a ride from sunrise to sunset to take advantage of the long day.
Got out Monday for Juneteenth holiday, one lane road ahead.

I had my seat on the 690r reworked by a local upholstery shop. She charged me $100 to shorten it and make it wider. This made a huge difference: a few years ago we took a ride up to Coos Bay. 11+ hours and I could still walk.

Today's goal, Thorn Creek Butte, but going in and coming back on different routes than normal. Beautiful day for it.
No bikes in this photo, just the beautiful view. This is the very end of Arrow Rock Reservoir. I've never seen it all the way full like this.
The bikes, from the same spot. We always stop here for a short while, after riding for about an hour.
We came in from Prairie, which is a different route for me. That's the bridge we were looking for. It crosses over to the road that goes to Atlanta which is almost a main road, except that it's dirt.
A different branch of Arrow Rock Reservoir. It was a perfect day for riding.
This was the goal, the lookout at the top of Thorn Creek Butte (altitude 7550 feet). The guy that stays there every summer watching for forest fires just opened it up the day before. His dog was loving it there.
The bikes in the parking area at the top. Those are the Sawtooth mountains to the east back there on the horizon.

Yeah, it's not a bike. So sue me.
I promise not to do this again with the Bronco.
Two years ago I tried riding up Hayden Peak and determined that I just didn't have the skill to ride two miles up a ten degree (according to my Bronco angle readout) rocky road without making a mistake, because once you stop on that stuff you're unlikely to get going again.
At the top of War Eagle Mountain. Been here before on the KTM. That's where all of the people live off in the distance.
The goal is the top of this mountain, you can see the road that heads up there.
This is where I had to stop two years ago. No problem at all for the Bronco, you just have to push the right buttons to turn all of the magic stuff on and it chugs right on up.
Here we are at the top, looking toward Boise and Meridian. Officially, it's 8402 feet of elevation.
That tower off in the distance is War Eagle Mountain. You can tell that we're at a higher elevation on Hayden Peak.

That's the thing with photos. They just don't convey the conditions on the ground. Its hard to grasp how steep that must be to you there.
Great pics Scott.
Do you have a pelican case drilled in the back of the Bronco?

Scott Mountain Road, Bear Valley
First stop at a high point on Scott Mountain Road.
Deadwood Dam. We passed along the east side of Deadwood Reservoir. That's the spillway dumping the water out, so the reservoir is full.
In some parts of Idaho, the forest isn't very green.
And sometimes it's a beautiful green forest. I screwed up the photo I thought I took in the middle of the forest.
Almost to Cape Horn Summit.

+1 … looks like a wonderful adventure, Mr MTERK!
bad news is Mr Bungee Brent announced that the 15th annual Bungee Bent’s Backroad Bash was going to be the last one. end of an era, for sure, and big thanks to him and wife Anna for so many wonderful memories over all those years …
