Total Miles = 446 miles
Today, I woke up refreshed and well-rested and was on the road by 8:30. The landscape as I left Walla Walla was breathtaking. Amber waves of grain as far as the eye could see. And when the landscape was green, it was very green. The contrast between different crops was so vivid. I thought it couldn't get any better and then I reached the Idaho border and rode US Rte. 12 across Idaho... 200 miles of winding, curvy roads through national forest. I didn't encounter one stoplight or one stop sign for the entire 200 miles. The road winds along the Lochsa River. The beauty was truly awesome. My pictures do not do them justice, but here they are.
Walla Walla wheat fields with contrasting green fields.
The next town beyond Walla Walla - Yes, that's a camel!

Resting by the Lochsa River.
They really do sell cows! - Drummond, MT. Once into Montana, the speed limit increased and in Missoula, I found 90 E where I buzzed along to Butte, MT. My new motorcycle windscreen did wonders and I didn't mind the highway speed at all.
