We live in far NE corner of Oregon and be advised that several huge fires are burning in Idaho and a couple here in the Eagle Cap Wilderness...little progress on stopping these fires as RH is low with high temps..expect poor air quality and perhaps road restriction...
In planning and driving your route, check ahead...some of these fires are deemed to be "let burn" fires....so I don't expect relief until the end of Sept or into October.

Tons of options near Stanley and along the Salmon river. Some are "campsites" but a lot of BLM land, You could cross over from Ketchum through the Copper Basin (awesome area and fishing) and then head towards Butte.

Currently not tons of options....
Well over 100,000++ acres burning from Stanley to North of Salmon [along Salmon River].....again, don't count on getting into areas and be prepared for heavy smoke and possible road closures...expect more fires and little containment of existing fires...

Ha! I thought the same thing....but perhaps 5 vehicles are needed to support the Power Wagon [just joking...]?
Only our style but we enjoy the solitude off road, hence travel solo and avoid others....not for everybody, depends on your proclivities and tolerance for assumption of risk...
