This started with the thought of visiting Jarbridge NV. Then I thought, well why not keep going. Then I read a story about a Berkeley professor who visited the Columbia River back in the horse and buggy days. And, now that I'm retired I can finally take a trip and not worry about how long it is.

Retired???!!! Congratulations. About to be there myself. I actually posted here about receiving my thank you for your service and now hit the road papers. Circumstances delayed their filing. The project that facilitated my prolonged servitude is wrapping up so it won’t be long now.

Again, CONGRATULATIONS!

Here is a thought Craig, since you are bouncing around that wide area, do something I have started and never finished -follow the Lewis and Clarke Trail-lot's of local, county, state and fed cg's ,things to do and things to see. There are lot's of books out there that describe the  trip and would   give it a loose framework with plenty of opportunity to go explore.  Jarbidge-now there is some wild country,  you may not want to come back , until winter hits, that is-bring lots of gas. Ain't retirement grand!

Interesting idea Smoke. I went ahead and ordered a guide.

Do try and keep an eye on fire season...we were once returning down from Lolo pass and got held up while they refilled choppers from the river along side the highway...over our heads...very smokey and a bit frightening....as in should we really be here ???
