16th & 17th day(Sunday, July 3rd & Monday, July 4th) Departed Marysvale, Utah after breakfast.
Plan was to stop for a few days in Brigham City, Utah. Couldn’t find a
RV camping spot so I forged ahead to McCammon, Idaho.
On the 4th I decided
to take my recumbent bike to visit the Lava Hot Springs http://www.lavahotsprings.com then I
saw a sign that said 22 miles to the hot springs (according to my math, that’s 44
miles round trip), I quickly re-routed myself to McCammon and visited the town.
Did 10 miles, that was enough, was getting a little warm for me 84° at 11am
Hwy 15 north, lonely road Was an easy drive, no hill climbing

19th through 23rd
day (Tuesday, July 5th through Saturday, July 9th)
Arrived Mackay, Idaho (population 494) http://mackayidaho-city.com/about-us.html on the 5th, set up camp and immediately took to the
trails. A couple (Al and Deb) that I met at Fillmore, UT
joined me in Mackay so I had someone to ride with. I also hooked up with 2
other couples (Bruce & Kerstin and Mel
& Terri) from Ogden Utah. The
official Rally In The Pines http://www. lostriverrally.com started on the 8th of
July, so we had plenty of time to explore and take pictures on our own.
This trail was called " Top of The World"

On our Saturday ride, one of the sponsoring vendors served
us a Bratwurst sausage, chip and potato salad lunch up in the mountains. We drove a little over 40 miles to get
there and again the landscape was amazing.

My body is still holding out. My
RZR 800 Quad is showing a little pain. I have been riding it fairly hard. Going
to get some repair work done in Idaho Falls, Idaho and on my way to Bayfield,
Colorado I will have some more preventive maintenance done in Durango.
This week I clocked another 410
dirt miles. It goes without saying I had another wonderful week.
24th day (Sunday, July
10th) Departed Mackay,
Idaho, drove to Ririe Reservoir, Idaho, near Idaho Falls http://www.co.bonneville.id.us/index.php/parks-and-recreation/summer-recreation. A big thunder and lighting storm just passed through, in addition
to 40 mile hour winds. After I had
dinner, the Camp Host (Howard Hill) took me for a tour of the facilities at the
Ririe Dam park/recreation area, which was truly enjoyable.
