Western Canada Region Only....Are You Serious .....

Sunday July 20th - From Sandpoint south through Couer D'Alene and Plummer and then eastward through St.Maries and wander along Hwy 3 and perhaps 6 and eventually make our way to Clarkston for the night. (If you are in that area and don't ride the "old spiral highway" down into Lewiston you've missed one helluva ride!)
Monday July 21 - From Clarkston/Lewiston take a little day trip west along highway 12 through Pomeroy, Dayton and Waitsburg to Walla Walla. Have lunch there and trace our steps back to Lewiston (thought that Highway 128 looked interesting for the trip back but looks like the pavement runs out at a certain point) and then roll on into Orofino for the night.

Anyways, that's just my thoughts but I haven't run them past Eagle Eye yet. I've ridden through some of these areas and just can't wait to get back and explore these roads again. Anyone who wants to join up with us is welcome to come along for the ride.

This place had really good Cajun food when I rode through Waitsburg a couple years ago. Like a very shiny diamond in the rough!

Thanks schoeney, the menu looks great! Definitely will have to check that out if our travels take us there.

No problem. I will be keeping tabs on my buddies coming from the North...I may end up in the same place on Sunday night....especially if there is cold beer involved.:cool::cool:

[Eagle Eye]

34 days and counting. Can't wait!

Those three little towns are so cool to explore, there's an old antique dealer in Pomeroy (Greyhound building one block west of mainstreet) and as mentioned a couple of good eateries in Waitsburge. I came across this Harley sitting in an empty shop on the West side of Waitsburge a few years back. Lots to see wish I could make the trip.

Well ....I was serious about going to Orofino !!! But like many of you know by now,...that ain't going to happen for me. My Dad is still in hosp. and will be so for some time by the looks of things. Unless something worse/better comes along.

But I'm thinking of those of you from the Western region of Canada that are either getting ready or have already started their ride south to the rally. I trust you get there safe and without any incident. Please give my best to all attendees and hoist one for me.....when you're not going to be riding.
Have a great time !!

23 days and counting. Anyone camping down there? RV park looks nice right on the river.

Kawvoy,
When are you planning on heading down? Want to travel with Eagle Eye and I?

[kawvoy]

Canuckrider,
Taking the toyhauler down with the wife. Too far for her to ride. She doesn't like it that much so she's beeing a good sport and going to try a day ride or two. Camping on the river at the rv park with another couple in a motorhome. Looking forward to meeting you and everyone else. And thanks for the invite. Might ride with you guys to the national next year??????

kawvoy,
Thanks for the update. I may have to check out your toyhauler unit while down there. I'm thinking of retirement in a few years and trying to explore some options ....
