The 2002 Boise Moving Trip II
Grumbler on US-395 in Oregon
Mike Plant snapped this pix a couple of miles north of the rest stop while riding behind me on the bagger. He also tried to take a picture while riding alongside, but it was outta focus, unfortunately.

Mike Plant's self-portrait a couple of miles north of the rest stop ... looks good, eh? ;^)
Final stop: arrived in Boise
86 miles/481 total. After the rest stop we rode to the Chevron in Hines/Burns then grabbed supper at the Apple-something-or-the-other coffee shop right across the street. Noticed that there's a nice looking motel right next to it. We chilled for awhile, and were feeling pretty tired what with being on the road for almost 12 hours. 132 miles/613 total. Other than a short stop 1/2 hour west of Vale for Mike's smoke break, we rode directly to Ontario that night collecting tons of juice bugs, and connected to eastbound I-84. 60 miles/673 total. After getting on I-84, Mike removed his beanie helmet as Idaho doesn't have a helmet law. We stopped at the Chevron next to Boise Airport for fuel then reached my house a few minutes later. We were beat, and it was almost midnight.
Bighorn Brewing Company
We had a killer lunch of burgers and Buttface brews at this brewpub the next day. It's right next to the famous Boise Greenbelt which parallels the Boise River.
Boise River
This was taken right next to the brewpub. Hundreds of rafts and kayaks can been seen on river during the warmer months. Barber Park off E. Amity Rd is where they're launched.
Lucky Peak Lake
This is right next to Hwy 21 north of Boise. Popular locale for swimming, and actually has a beach. Keep Our Forests Green, eh? Actually, it's WAY greener as you head north on Hwy 21 towards Idaho City, Lowman, Stanley, Salmon, and other destinations. At Lowman, can cut over to Banks, and follow Hwy 55 north to MaCall or south to Boise.
Smead Ranch in Lincoln
Early Sunday evening in backyard of Smead Ranch. That's Steve himself standing in the doorway. This is where I spent two nights.
Mike's FLST enroute to Marysville
Almost as commonplace as roadkill ... another broken Harley on side of road. Naw, it was just Mike Plant taking a smoke break on way home from Lincoln to Marysville. All pics taken by Mike Plant and edited by Grumbler.
