Dan,

Funny that you should mention that route. I'm writing this in Chalis now. I'm going as far north as Salmon, and then southeast toward Strasburg. Yes, Annette has given me permission to land. 

Last year Tim and I rode US 12 from Missoula to Lewiston. It's a great road. Thanks for the suggestions. I just came from Stanley, where I took the picture. It looks like it could be Limon doesn't it? Perhaps I'm playing up Idaho too much. 

One other tidbit: I'm having no problems finding ethanol free premium fuel. I can't find it anywhere around Colorado. Just saying.

Steve, when is Annette going to tell you that it is safe for you to come home?  By the way, I have a small item, which you prize highly, that you left behind at our home on Vashon Island.  I can return it to you at the July 7^th meeting.

 

Two Idaho roads that I highly recommend from when I rode the Sprint RS up to Seattle/Vashon Island two years ago:

·         US 93 from Challis to Lolo, just sought of Missoula; and

·         US 12, from Lolo to Kooksia (and then on to Lewiston).

 

I'm sure some of you—perhaps Jay, Tim, Norm, Bonneville Bob, Sean and Sara?--have ridden these highways as well.

 

But I remember seeing a sign on US 12 that said, "Curves, Next 99 Miles."  Whoopee!

If you get the chance to ride to Idaho you should definitely do it! Not only is the scenery stunning with winding roads, the state has some very cool aspects that you might not be aware of. 

 

Beer in the grocery stores isn't unique to Idaho but growler refilling and tasting samples? Hell yeah! How about build-your-own six-packs with over 100 different choices from small to medium sized breweries from across the country! Sweet!

 

As I was having lunch in McCall yesterday some other exotic European motorcycle pulled in and parked next to me. Despite the supposed "lack" of Moto Guzzi dealerships they still outnumber those German bikes two to one. Now that's class! 😎

 

Having a great time! See you all later!
