Another year passed by, and I haven't been able to spend nearly as much time riding motorcycles as I used to in California.  Of course the winters here play a part in that, but even in summer I don't get out that much. Luckily, there are some nice mountains nearby to play in, only about 80 miles away.  That's about the same distance that I used to drive to get to McCain valley for a few hours of leisure trail riding.  So on my birthday, I requested a day off from work, applied for PTO and did what I usually do on my birthday....go riding and stop for supper on the way home afterwards.

The Uinta mountains were beginning to respond to the colder nights, and the leaves were starting their fall color change.  The kokanee salmon were heading upstream to spawn....and bowhunting season had just started.  So riding on a Monday wasn't as peaceful as I thought it might be.  None the less, it was a good day.  Sunny and windy, not too cool, pretty much perfect weather.  A stop at Flaming Gorge resort just down the road for a dinner sammich hit the spot to wrap up the day.

Sheep creek, and a few kokanees lingering below the bridge.

On the166 ATV trail, and I could see Manila down in the valley from the ridge I was on.

You can rent goats if you are hunting.  They come complete with collars and red nylon panniers.  My bike was not running and it was parked, but the white goat did not want pass by it, so much so that he lay down and wouldn't get up until  I rolled the bike about ten feet further away from him.

I guess that I am as safe as anywhere else, with my Spot device.  True, there are few populated areas or services nearby, though I am only several miles From Dutch John up in the mountains where there is fuel, food and lodgings.  I'm friends with the rangers in the area also.
