On May 10, 2013, I took a ride toward Big Southern Butte.
Returning home on pavement, my Zong reached 55,000 miles on the odometer.
The weather was nice, so the next day I took a trip to the tiny village of Bancroft.
Several days later, the high temperature reached 90 degrees Fahrenheit!
Therefore, I decided to mount a new, rear tire, and ride once again across the Snake River Plain.
This day I went around a closed gate, and climbed to the top of Big Southern Butte to gain a view of the Snake River Plain.
The weather was so beautiful, I decided to ride across the plain to Arco, which is at the base of the mountains shown in the next two photographs.
Descending the butte, I stopped to take several photos.
Riding northwestward, Arco began to grow on the horizon.
Arriving in Arco, I stopped to take a photograph in front of City Hall.
The snow is receding up the mountains, so I decided to visit a local peak on Wednesday. Along the way I noticed I could capture 55,555.5 miles on the odometer, so I stopped to take a photograph.
This time of the year, fallen trees can block the trails until local people claim the timber for firewood. I needed to turn back and take another trail when I encountered these obstacles.
Ascending another trail, I reached the ridge line and enjoyed the views.
I'm pleased to report my Zong is running better than ever! It's a great little motorcycle.
