Whipsaw Trail 1 - Finally Four, We Venture North Most of the trips I do require a full day - or more - of freeway driving just to reach the trailhead, so you can imagine my delight when we decided to do a trip on the west coast. Sort-of. At least, our meeting location was only four hours away -...

First off, glad you've been happy with your brakes! For me, it was less about "more braking power," and more about "less likelihood to overheat the brakes." With a heavy truck - pushing 6000 lbs at times - and lots of downhill on trails, I often find myself on the brakes for extended periods...

Nice, those two, and CO are on my list, as is more time in Canada. It seems that as soon as I start exploring an area, there's always so much more to see, hahahah. A good thing, I suppose!

Awesome - glad you had a good time and also that you enjoyed the report. Do you have another BDR planned for next year? I'm trying to do one per summer now, hahhaah! Thanks man, appreciate the kudos. As far as the plate cover goes, you'll notice in photos of the rear of the truck that I have a...

Glad you enjoyed! Was definitely a fun trip, and I'm with you on Idaho being a great place to explore. (y)

Rig Review: Idaho July 2019 - What worked and what didn't? July 29, 2019. In perhaps our most-traveled month to date, July was nearly an entire month in Idaho. In fact, we've had four trips in the last couple of months to this tiny state - after only having visited once before. After our SE...

IDBDR Pt. 10 - Where Are the Nice Canadians? Positioned well above the horizon, sunrise would have been one of the best if just a few clouds had made an appearance in the sky. Without them, an orange glow an hour or so before the sun peaked out was all we got. Shucks, right? ;) The...

IDBDR Pt. 9 - Move Over, Moose! I wasn't sure how sunrise would be given that we were in a bit of a bowl around Dworshak Reservoir - with no line of sight to the horizon - and no clouds in the sky - it could be a complete dud. And for the most part, that's what it was. Unimpressed, I went back...

IDBDR Pt. 8 - Driving the Lolo Motorway Rocky Point proved once again to be one of the best camp sites of our trip and we slept well through the night. Wanting to capture sunrise, I was up early with a new idea - video - which also allowed me to catch another 90 minutes of sleep and yet still...

IDBDR Pt. 7 - The Curse of the Lolo Motorway We couldn't have chosen a better spot to setup camp when we pulled up to Rocky Point lookout. Our view east was spectacular, and the clouds and lightning storms from the night before had cleared out, leaving just enough moisture in the air for an...

IDBDR Pt. 6 - Macgruder Corridor and Hell's Half-Acre Wanting to get an early start to the day so we could try to get ourselves through all of the Idaho Backcountry Discovery Route's Stage 4 from Elk City to Darby along the Macgruder Corridor, we were both up and out of the tent right around...

Yeah, I don't think it ever opens to vehicular traffic, only for the small guys! (and just to make sure you saw it, you did see the part about bikes and ATVs, ya?) Lolo is quite similar to Macgruder from a width perspective - some places are narrow, others are wide enough to pass. Lots of pics...

Well, there was this photo in the story ;)... Not that I'm trying to keep you from exercising...

IDBDR Pt. 5 - (No More) Gold in Them There Hills Camped deep in the valley next to the South Fork of the Salmon River, getting up for sunrise wasn't even an option for us. The dual-sport bikers had we'd met the night before were surely later to bed and earlier to rise than we were, but that was...
