Highway as we only have a couple days. Otherwise we’d have to blow through and not see as much.

We will gas at Grangeville or Elk City if they have gas, run the MC, gas at Darby and north on 93 back to 90.

Sounds fun! I want to join. You all going south on 195 or 95? Since I’m coming from Pullman…Would it work if I connect with you in Lewiston, Grangeville or Elk City?

Anywhere works as long as we plan for it, Elk City might easy as we will gas up there.

Just did the Magruder corridor a few days ago. We mostly stuck to the BDR route, with the exception of a detour to camp on top of green mountain. Conditions on the main corridor route are currently optimal, and could honestly be done in a 2wd vehicle with really good brakes, IMHO.

Awesome! We are doing the CO and UT BDRs in the middle of Sept. Can't wait

Minute 1:22:00 shows Burnt Knob, might be a good stop. The road is rougher and I’m not sure about turn arounds

Temps at night were in the upper 50's-low 60's two weeks ago. Temps will be cooling down a touch before then as well.

The Rally Point now has the GPX added. Please open and save the plan to your device for offline use.

You will see French Gulch as our first choice for Friday night camp. If it’s occupied then we will go a little further up the road to find a spot. If you are NOT caravanning with the group there be sure to keep your radio on to communicate with us to be able to meet up with us after dark. After that we will play it by ear as to our Saturday and Sunday night camp locations.

You’ll see as we head east the number of options we have for camping gets more and more abundant on the make.

Questions?
