More Wildlife

video

This wild animal was encountered on road the goes through Rocky Canyon. This dirt road goes from Boise to Highway 21. I would advise riding a mountain bike, not a cross or road bike. There is long climb - someone told me 8 miles - that is so dusty that one will spin in place if he/she tries to stand. But the up hill is quite pleasant compared with the descent on the other side. I could (almost) not break hard enough to stop. I was expecting to have sore hands today but miraculously, I do not.
Other unpleasant aspects, at least this time of year, of this ride are the flies. You can hear one on the video.

That mormon cricket seemed quite patient with your efforts to document it.
