TransAmerica Trail Day 22

08-08-18 After leaving Sun Vally we headed into the mountains of Sawtooth National Forest. We were enjoying the ride until we came across a roadblock with road closed posted on it. We went around of course with hopes it was passable with motorcycles. Shortly after we discovered the road was completely washed away by a large river that was much too deep to ride across. This was the only road through the mountains in the direction we needed to go. After nearly an hour of trying to find alternate routes we met a group of local riders. They informed us that we would have to ride back to where we came from and go nearly 70 miles south to get back the the trail. This hindered us to a 125 miles gained on the day even after riding for over 10 hours. We stopped in Boise for the night.
