Anyone know if you can get Idaho stickers in Grangeville or Riggins? Headed out eairly Sat. morning
Are you heading down to McCall? How long you goin for Kieth?
Yep, coming back Tuesday
Should be fun! the pictures make it look pretty promising so far...let me know how it goes!
My first time there, will try to find the good areas to go to. Will let you know.
So what is the best way to travel to McCall?
I did a mapquest driving directions from Cle Elum to McCall ID and it takes you to the Gorge on I90, dumps you on hwy 26 through Othello, then 195 to 95 through Lewiston to McCall.
Is that really the best and quickest with a trailer?
It shows 6 hours 27 minutes travel time. Anyone done it quicker?

That is the way we have been going for the last 6 years!

We go from Cle Elum down through Pendleton and Baker City then cut up through Weiser to McCall. Farther distance wise, but far better roads and usually pretty close time wise.

Did you stay at the Super8 ? From your posts, I bet you are the guy that lent an extra sled to Rod and Ronnie. If you are the guy I'm thinking of, you and your dad were friggin funny in the conference room!!
Good week of riding! The snow wasn't as good and plentiful as years past, but there were places with deep powder and extremely fun boondockin/small hill climbs. We had a great time.

That's my favorite way, usually pulling a 50 footer. Except I cut down at Washtucna through Starbuck and on to Hwy 12. A little curvey after dropping down from Washtucna (sp) but not for long. No worse then getting into Weiser along the river.

jim went home friday so I don't think anyone got it. wayne's wife had a close call and rolled her sled and her foor got caught in the footwell. when bean seen her she was laying face down in the snow with the sled on top of her. she had a few bruises but was ok. I would have liked to ride with you guys but my dad probably would have been overwhelmed. next year I will for sure
I didnt know Jim took it with him.
hope Kathy is all right.
Hope to see ya next year

Tim, is this you?! Dang, I need to get out more or somethin'. I had no idea anyone at the Super8 was on Snowest forums. I used to ask people, but after so many "no"s, I quit asking.
Good thing you brought your Wii. Playing rock band and watching you guys play bowling was pretty much the excitement for the nightlife. Next year I'll be riding way more with you, Wayne and Bean (if you guys'll let me tag along)! The 2 days I did get to ride with your group were the best rides I had all week.
This year, a few people in our group rented a house, so I was trying to split my time with the hotel group and the house group. Next year will be different, at least for me.
Nice riding with you and meeting you. There's talk of a Mt Baker ride. Hopefully it works out and we can get a good ride in before season's end.
