Motorcycle Trip to Moscow, Idaho to ride the mountains. May 11, 2021 Thru May 14, 2021.
A map of the route to Moscow, Idaho. Ultimately this was just to ride across the WA-20 "North Cascades" pass and then to the back roads of Idaho. The North Cascades pass had *just* opened 5 days earlier. You can see the snow and video on the first day trip description. The entire ride was clear and beautiful, a perfect temperature (a little cold in the morning, but nice and warm later in the day).
The trip was a good mental break between a job change and COVID-19 'pandemic' stresses (yes, I was fully vaccinated before the trip). I was asked 'so, where are you going to go ...' I replied 'Elk City, Idaho ... Not sure what is in Elk City but the road going to there is Idaho State route 14. A road of 40+ miles that follows EVERY curve of the river'. Sometimes it is the ride that gets you there, not the destination.
