It is 2314% greater than the overall U.S. It adjusts for the number of visitors and daily workers commuting into cities.Įarthquake activity: Homedale-area historical earthquake activity is significantly above Idaho state average. We found only two benches on the north end, and only one bench by Goodrich.The crime index weighs serious crimes and violent crimes more heavily. Also there are very few places to sit and have lunch/snack. This trail is nicer on the north and middle parts but the south part out of Weiser was not so good and there are lots of puncture vine (aka goathead weed) plants just waiting to flatten a tire. No-one else was on the trail and we were not near the hiway so the peacefulness was very relaxing. This stretch of trail is very nice with turkeys, quail and the smell/spoor of a bear under or near the Weiser River bridge. We drove in from the landfill side off the highway as the brochure indicated).
There is a trail sign but it can only be seen if you drive from the Cambridge side. Due to lots of housing development, there are alot of new roads and we ended up making lots of u-turns. (Poor directions were given both on the RTC website and the brochures so for those who want to park at Goodrich (there are at least 3 spots on new gravel, but no room for trailers), remember to turn right at the Goodrich Creek road off of Goodrich road. The following day was a short one as we rode between Goodrich to Mesa Siding. And there is no mention either of the missing trail at the Starkey trestle or the closure. At a minimum, there should have been a sign on the kiosk at the Wye regarding the closed trail. Yes it is dangerous because construction debris can fall off the bridge onto the trail (including orange peels) but we couldn't walk the 10 miles back to the TH or ride our bikes on the very crowded highway. One the way back to the Wye TH, the "closed trail" signs under the Highway were put up but since our Jeep was at the TH, we hurried through this section despite the workers on the highway yelling at us. The Starkey one is missing the entire rail/trail bed due to washout. There are two lengthy trestles between Fruitvale and Starkey. At Starkey, the trail is closed with a number of signs and we were re-routed onto the adjacent road. We noted that the Hiway 95 bridge was being worked on but the signs for closing the trail were not blocking the trail (going south) so we navigated through the construction debris. The next day we started at the Wye TH and rode all the way to Fruitvale and back. Jeff was a great guy, we discussed politics and pandemics and for a mere $20 we were off again to finish our adventure. Found a bike shop, JD's Bike Shop, in Weiser but due to Covid lockdowns, he wasn't open, BUT his phone was on and he was hanging out at his place so he drove over to his shop on his Harley and fixed our flats and a few other issues we were having with our bikes.
Pushing a 70 pound fatty in soft sand can be a challenge. We pushed/towed/tugged the one flat tired bike to a roaded access point through a private farm field, while my husband rode the one good ebike back to TH to get our Jeep and find me somewhere near a farm field. We were riding our fat tire ebikes, each approx 70 pounds.
