Sept. 4 - Day Three- Three Forks (Mike Mackie on his ATK 605)

Day three we decided on a route to Three Forks where the North, Middle, and South forks of the Owyhee river join to create the main stem Owyhee River.

Conditions were dry and dusty although virga was seen to the south.

You had to either ride up to another rider's rear wheel or drop back far enough to stay out of the dust cloud.

An example or virga, rain that evaporates before hitting the ground.

Jeremy and Lin watch the tube changing action on Robert's DR650.

Before reaching Three Forks, Robert on his DR650 had a flat as a patched tube let go.

Robert was carrying a new tube and a change ensued.

Andy, on the KLR "mothership" had a Slime pump and plug-in.

Between us there were enough tire irons and muscle to break the bead and lever half the tire off in order to put in the new tube.
