[Rockydog]

Ok, filled up all the gas, got four bags of ice (and a few other essentials ) set the trip meter and we’re off. Radio silence most likely for three days. Talk to you men again from Elk City!!!

I wish I would have paid attention to this post earlier. I live in east Idaho and am planning to do this soon. My dad used to haul logs on this road after he got out of the army in WW2. He always talked about it. I have friend just return from this trip on SUnday. He left from home with his KLR and made it a 6 day 5 night trip just with what he packed on his Bike. If you get back through east Idaho Big Juds burgers is also a great stop in several locations. 1 to 4 lb burgers and real fries.

I may do it within 2 weeks. I had wanted to ride on this one but timing wouldn’t allow for it. I’m going to Walker Valley Wa next weekend and then down to either to MCorridor or the Centennial Trail near Burgdorf hot springs. Great pix @Montecresto , keep em coming! I’m very excited to see the trail through your lens.

He may be hunting bear with a switch!

What was a cool surprise is that we followed the Salmon for about 100 miles passing many important historic sights including the exact spot of William Clark’s camp on the Salmon, on August 21-24, 1805 on the western trek. That was cool! And the river is flowing north that entire distance.

AW yes!

Very weak signal here in Elk City, can’t seem to quote a post, but yes, we’re still alive CP. Woo Hoo, just arrived here at 3:30 local time (pacific ???). Did the MC east to west and my what an epic journey. Met various people in trucks, jeeps, dual sports, quads, SXS’s and floaters on the Selway.

Left Darby at around 10:00 am Saturday headed south on 93 for 2-1/2 miles doing 45 mph (65 was the Hwy speed limit) which was the comfortable max speed with a 1000 lb trailer in toe and the SXS bed full, and squatting a bit.

Made a right on 473 following the Bitteroot River on a small paved road (45 mph speed limit) and held 40mph on that for several miles where we stopped and picked up a map and the squaw had to ask a ranger if there were any grizzlies in the FCRONR Wilderness and he just looked at her. So she said tell me the truth, and he said yes, a few some of them are collared and tracked....

She took it well though....He said don’t be stupid and you’ll be fine, wished us well and told us to turn right on the Nez Perce trail in half a mile.

We made that right and stopped to look at the map, check the load etc and he drove by. After a few minutes he came back and pulled up to us because he thought she was scared and didn’t want to go and he wanted to encourage her about it. That was nice for her.

At the first Ranger Station

Having difficulties with service and posting pics.....

I’ll keep trying.

 

[Montecresto]

Yes , plenty of pics please and be safe.

Thanks Chooglin, will do.

First side trip out without the trailer, 10 miles uphill all the way to Hell’s half acre lookout.

This was the second out and back, the first place we encountered the Selway at the Magruder Ranger Station circa 1923. The last pic is of a grouse I think?????

The log structures are very rustic and look to be used on rare occasions.

That’s very cool info. I met a guy that’s retired from the forestry fire division who is doing the MC because he said of all the times he was on it while working, he had never seen it during daylight hours....
