Blackrock is a great ride

After living in Pocatello for almost 27 years I had never really discovered how much fun Blackrock area is to ride. There are over 30 miles of trails with a tremendous amount of variety; nice climbs and beautiful tree covered areas. I saw a cow moose and calf while I was riding last Monday. I didn't want to get on her bad side with the calf so I kept a bit of distance and beeped my horn a couple times to get her to move on. She was in no hurry, but finally walked far enough I felt safe to pass.
The only reason I went to Blackrock to ride is there isn't much else open with all the snow we got this spring. It turned out to be a great discovery, checking out new trails I hadn't been on.
If you haven't ridden it lately, this is a great time to do so. The rain has made it lush and green with minimal dust. Later in the year it gets pretty dusty. I'm trying to get a few more pics of the newly chartered trails that I rode on Memorial Day.
I was hoping to get a lot of riding this summer adding new trails, but with the prospect of building a house, that may not happen.
What are your favorite rides? Undiscovered treasures?

Any Trails open & Passable?

Has anybody found some good riding besides the desert and Black Rock to ride? I'm looking for something around Pocatello that isn't too muddy.

Just Getting Started

About six months ago I started a website posting information on trails that I had ridden in Eastern Idaho. It all started when I began searching the web for ideas of where to ride and found little information for trails in Eastern Idaho. Even the Forest Service maps where not that clearly marked and hard to follow the actual trails. So the idea came to me after purchasing a GPS unit with 3-D software that I could publish maps, GPS data, along with pictures to help fellow riders find the trails I had ridden and give them a sneak preview through the pictures.
It became so much fun that my rides started being more about documenting them than riding! I still enjoy riding, but it has added a greater sense of purpose to it all.
Along with that I have began to find some new friends all over the country who have an interested in riding. I'm hoping to meet some from Indiana and Kansas who are planning on coming to Idaho to ride this summer.
This brings us to, why add a blog site? The purpose of this site is to make my site, http://www.dirtbiketrailsidaho.com/, more interactive. I would have liked to have just added a blog to my site, but because of the limitations it was easier to just link to this one.
What do you most enjoy about riding dirt bikes? Are you interested in building your own website? What would you like to see added to my site? What are some trails you have ridden that you would recommend?
Anyway, I hope that you will add some comments so we can get some threads going.
