    Thanks for the info Belstaf and Cyber.
    I like the tougher trails also, thinking even big screen would need readers. Good point, powered by bike, hadnt thought that far.
    When I said agitated, I was talking to get back out on trails:D
    Been jetskiing during hot summer, good way to keep cool, get air, and go fast...Thanks again!

    If you've camped with the army, this motorcycle camping should be a luxury!

    Maybe I should show up and pop some cs grenades!

    Tuesday at 6 sounds good. Hope I remember.
    Last I know there are no Motels at Toroweep.
    St George or Fredonia. 80 dirt miles from Toro

    I was going to ask you guys about the legality of riding along canals since it's more interesting than taking surface streets, but I just read that I'm not allowed to. But I mean, there aren't any gates so how much trouble could I really get in?

    There may not be gates on all of them, but check for signs. They usually allow joggers and dog walkers but no motorized traffic.

    I definitely saw some people on the other side at one point, roosting them at 40 might have given them a slight shock.

    I had to copy and paste it into my address Bar, no google map address bar.

    That is a very big bike doable route. Still not sure about your time est. It will be a long day, but probable can be done.
    That is one day to Jacob lake then another to Toroweep and back in day 2???
