Unbearable heat? Check.
Banana Belt? Check.
More crime than you would expect? Check.
White sandy beaches? Check.
Annoying locals? Check.

Hmm...

Mill Creek road turns to gravel at nf-65 if I remember right. Be a great ride on a dualsport..

Unfortunately, there is only one (paved) way from 2 Wallas to Lewiston..

If I was gonna ride from Des Moines, Wa to Lewiston... I'd probably do it a little different... something like this;

thanks! that looks cool! i might give it a try. I tried the trout lake route earlier in the summer and it was still closed. i am really going to mccall id. i wanted to do 129, but i have heard it is nice near flora, and i have heard good things about se oregon. thanks again!

No problem.. from Lewiston, the shortest route is hywy 95.. but damn, it's boring. Personally, Id take the opportunity to ride 12 & 13 instead. It adds roughly 30 miles but who cares? The roads are far more fun..

Once you get to Strangeville, you are stuck... the only way to get to McCall is on 95. I'd actually kinda cool from strangeville on south though..

Ride safe!
