We knew last night that with the snow we would get a late start this morning so no hurry to pack and head out. The longer we waited the harder the snow was falling with no real sign of letting up. So....time to suit up and ride! With Tim's BMW flashing an ice warning on the display and snow starting to accumulate on the ground we changed routes and headed south to lower elevations and hopefully warmer temperatures.
After an hour or so of riding we broke out in clear skies, stopped for a cup of coffee and congratulated ourselves on our riding skills. Decided to head west for a while then north along some beautiful roads to Ketchum Idaho, a town none of us had ever heard of in the Sun Valley ski area. Along the way passed Craters Of The Moon national park. very eerie looking area of past volcanic activity.
We have always prided ourselves on being flexible in our plans and today was a perfect example. We all wanted to ride the Beartooth Highway, a top rated motorcycle ride, but it was in the wrong direction and we can save it for another ride.
Celebrated another interesting day with a walk to a pizza parlor for pizza and a beer, looking forward to tomorrow.

Have to go back with the wife...make a note! xoxo
I think your "flexibility" was just an "excuse" for another ride!!! :) Glad you all made it safely through the weather. Have fun!
