It's OK, a major corporation pays me to keep track of you.

The Owyhee Mountains, south of Homedale, got their name when two Hawaiian fur trappers with the Hudson Bay Company ventured there to trap beaver and never returned.

This is a wetplate photo taken during the cannonball by Paul d'Orleans from the Vintagent. Its a style from over 100 years ago, where the photo is burned onto metal, with chemicals. The camera is a big wooden box.

Now that is what makes you special Doug, "he took the time to educate folk about his bike" (not verbatim quote) and "He’s used to seeing new faces and doesn’t seem to tire of the conversation."

May you enjoy many more miles and adventures.
