In Kamiah, Idaho
Well it was another great day of riding, but a long one! We were on the road by 07:00 and arrived here in Kamiah Idaho at 18:30. We booked it on Highway 12 to Walla Walla this morning to Tom's Cycle so that I could Pick up my new face shields for my Shoei Hornet. I had been trying for years to get the dark tinted ones in Canada to no avail, so before the trip I called Tom's and they ordered them in for me. Great shop and people, so go see them if you are ever passing through and need something.
On the advice of on of the member on this site we then headed up to Palouse Falls, north of Walla Walla. We used a great mix of gravel and pavement to get there and the falls were spectacular. I only wished that my leg was 100 % so that I could have hiked around the north side of the falls.
The rest of the day we alternated between Gravel, Dirt and paved roads and every one was fantastic, including a spectacular one west of Lewiston that ran along a ridge line that was curve after fantastic curve of narrow pavement. I would like to shake the hand of the person that designed that road! After fueling in Lewiston, we stayed on back roads and found some truly inspiring gravel roads to wind up and over the hills into Kamiah.
We had dinner at the Hub on Kamiah's main drag, after which I pulled a fairly big wheely down the street on the way back to the Hotel before putting the leg on ice and typing this.
Pics from the day.
The tracks that run along the river near Palouse Falls.
