Idaho Photo Op Birthday Rides

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We all have birthdays (aka chronological achievements) and some of you
are fortunate enough to celebrate during the riding season.

Whatever your age, you're almost certain to find Idaho State Highway sign
with the same number for a photo op. Some will be out of the way which
makes them more of a challenge.

Ride to the jct of wherever that SH number is, and take a photo of you and
your bike parked next to it (or just the bike). Also, can take pics of as many
road signs as you can from your current age to the single digits.

Here's the list of Idaho State Highways and their locations with anything after
69 being a *real* challenge especially the last one! LOL!

Grumbler, cool idea.  Thumbsup  Guess I'll be going to the Gem State this riding season between Mountain Home and Nevada.   Cool  Of course I won't be there this month, but I'll just delay my b-day celebration until then.

Thanks, MAN! I've done that route btw Mountain Home and Nevada albeit in
a rental cage, and about the only excitement out there was finding a mound
of dirt to take a leak behind. Lots of soltitude out there.

I'm not certain what that means. I'm just saying there's great stuff out there if you are familiar with the area.

Dirt donking denotes riding off road. Am not well versed with the area at
all. Only went through once back in 2002 and haven't been back since as
it didn't do anything for me. What did I miss, a Burma Shave sign?  Razz
