After four attempts on my part, I finally got to ride a certain road that goes to the center of our galaxy or at least the very terrestrial and indigenous interpretation of said pavement. This is vague for a reason.

I was joined by Brian and Mark and the three of us experienced the carnage that is/was the first/last nine miles of that road. Brian will be the first to tell you that his was the only bike left standing. Plus, a review of Nemo’s Aurora Two-Person tent and a hot tip on a great campground in Island Park, Idaho.
