Earlier today on Eagleson Road off of Boise Ridge Road, east of Boise.

This is way steeper than it looks here. It just gets worse and there is one huge rut further up the road that you have to straddle to make it through. With the mud the way that it was, I wasn't straddling it for long, sliding the right side tires down into the rut and came close to scraping my passenger side door with the angle it was on. Backed down the rut slowly until I got where I could turn around and took this photo right before turning it the other way. Mirrors and backup camera are not great for navigating muddy ruts.

This wasn't the only place where I had to turn around because I couldn't safely get through.

Not today. It might have been in the past. And maybe the other half of it north of Bogus Basin could be closed for some reason.

Yes some of those spots in that area are REALLY steep and you decided to go out after it rained last night! I am impressed. You like a challenge.

Apologies for the side-track of this photo thread...

It was raining WHILE is was up there, but I didn't mind. It makes it a tiny bit more challenging.
