Ahh, the infamous Prospector Inn. At just $44/night, thought it was a great deal - until I came away with bites all over my legs - I think the ol'bed bugs were rampant here. Additionally, there was blood splattered all over the walls, the mattress had a huge depression in the centre, where, I'm sure many an ol' cowboy banged his lady of the night. Unfortunately, there was no place else to sleep, and I was exhausted from riding all day. Needless to say, I slept in my clothes, eventually moving to the floor...
Bonanza Ghost Town, Idaho, U.S.A
It took approximately 25 miles of mountain backroad to get there, oscillating between washboard conditions, gravel and dirt, in 120+ degrees. Then, as you see above, more dirt road and bugs - lots of 'em...
Had to really watch where I walked - this is rattle snake country!
