| The "Poachers" take a break on Hwy 36. | The Poachers motto -- "spend a little,
ride a lot, |
|
|
| Hwy 36 passes through cattle country... | ...so the only buildings are barns |
|
|
| Riding along Dry Creek on Hwy 36 | |
|
|
| There are few services on Hwy 36 so we packed our own lunch | |
|
|
| Red thistle and crossing Beegum Creek | |
|
|
| Descending to Beegum Gorge and the long climb up Platina Grade (Hwy 36) | |
|
|
| Platina Grade is 7% for about 3 miles | |
 |
 |
 |
| Metal cowboys arrive at Platina Store around mile 45 | ||
 |
 |
| Heading out on Platina Road...which snakes its way for 22 awesome miles | |
 |
 |
| This road winds its way below the ridgeline | Looking back at Hwy 36 where we came from |
 |
 |
| And it's mostly flat and a slightly downhill grade | View looking south toward the Yolla Bolla Mtns |
 |
 |
| We stopped often to take in the views across the valley | |
 |
 |
| The valleys below Platina Road | |
