No, their group pulled in right after ours . They escaped the crazy downpour rain just like we did, lucky timing.

Luck has been with me a few times too. About a half hour after checking into my motel in Florence OR on my recent coast hiway trip on my Honda, as I walked out to cover it the rain started. On my last trip to MT the sky let loose with a downpour as I was walking back to the Busa after checking in. I hadn’t even unloaded it yet after riding over hiway 12 from ID. Luckily I hadn’t ridden in the rain on either day. It’s motorsikkle karma I tell ya!
Great pics of the temple. I gotta get back up there again. Rode around there on my CB750 when I lived in Humboldt Co.

Although not on my motorcycle but my garden tractor...
I had just got done cutting grass at one of the senior lady's house and drove the tractor home almost a km with black skies threatening me...
I backed the tractor into the shed, and walked to the house....almost to the second that I stepped through the door, the skies opened up like someone turned on a tap.......if I would have stopped for even a second to scratch me arse, I would have been soaked....
Weather is a crazy thing....

I know the road is kinda knarly, but check out this crazy tunnel through solid limestone rock, very cool.
How did you ever find this?
The riders wanted to know. I didn’t say where we were going, only follow me, you have to check this out. There, in the middle of the forest, was a massive natural bridge
This Natural Bridge along Wildwood Rd is a natural limestone arch spanning across a narrow ravine. This mountain sized mass of limestone was solid until water, through the course of time, forced itself through and under the soft limestone, creating the passage.
But they’re right, how would you ever know this was here?
This Natural Bridge is 150 feet long and a 30-foot-high rock arch. The exterior of the opening measures about 100 feet wide and 50 feet high. The archway spans over 200 feet. The scale of the arch takes some acclimation to get used to the size, it is massive.
The turnoff is located 13 miles north of Highway 36 at Bridge Gulch Rd and then 1-mile up dirt fire road FR 31N19. The turnoff is marked and leads to a small dirt parking area. There’s a short walking trail leading to the natural bridge.
What a crazy interesting spot to discover, no signs, no people, just some random fire road headed off into the forest, and then there's this.

You can get into a rhythm on roads like this, but as soon as you think you're ricky racer & the only rider person on this road, you come around a blind right and there's a truck headed right for you. We had zero other traffic with this ride, but next time I came through there a few month later, that's exactly what happened. A truck & trailer coming right at me. I had about 2 feet of space on the right & he didn't move over at all.
Africa-Twins are awesome machines, Busa like in the 'does everything well' category.
Have you ridden one?

Haven't ridden an Africa Twin, although we've got two of our regulars that have them & tour all over with them

Top of this ridge is 46 miles long
Along the northern half of the ridge is a paved road - Forest Rd 1

We don't ride Forest Rd 1 too much anymore, it's really goaty and 50 miles long of single lane mountain road. Great views though from 5000 ft
