Day 1. WA, ID, MT

[kennyw]

Started the day with cold, wet weather. I didn't have the space for two jackets on this trip so I layered up under my mesh jacket with a large rain coat in my saddle bag that I would put on within 2 miles of leaving home.



The weather cleared up on the east side of Snoqualmie Pass. It was 60-70 and mostly sunny the rest of the day.










I think stopping to take a picture of that grain elevator saved me from an unexpected conversation with the law. The guy I passed a few miles before stopping here ended up passing me again and getting there attention first a couple miles down the road.
I even stopped at Palouse Falls for a quick picture.



I made my way into Idaho on US HWY 12 and this little town was the last has stop for 88 miles.




I was supposed to stop and camp shortly after that gas stop. However, it was only 6pm and this sign was there.



There no traffic for miles. I'm sure I will have some good video when I get a chance to download it from the camera.

Must be good to be under way, kenny. The picture of Palouse Falls is particularly interesting. Where does the water come from in such an arid landscape?

I also like the pictures warning of winding roads. They're amongst the best sites to be seen from the seat of a CB1100.

Yep, that looks like the sign along the Lochsa River that leads up to Lolo Pass. Good stuff.

Well done and keep it coming. I love to see a CB loaded up and on the road.

Cheers

Too many traffic citations are not done for public safety but as a form of taxation. There are some small towns in south Georgia that would be dead if not from revenue from "speeding" tickets. 36 mph in a 35 zone will get you tagged.

A little damp, but otherwise a great start. Beautiful pictures. Keep 'em coming.
