ABOUT 1/4 MILE FROM THE LAST PIC...THE BEGINNING OF A GREAT ONE!
THE TOP OF THE PASS AND ALL DOWNHILL FROM HERE TO ST MARIES, ID. THEN SOUTH TO LEWISTON/CLARKSTON.

A COUPLE HOURS ALONG THE ST JOE RIVER SCENIC BYWAY! WOW! THIS IS WAY MORE FUN THAN THE LOLO PASS TRAIL THAT  RUNS SOUTH OF HERE!  THIS ONE MAKES LOLO LOOK STRAIGHT! MUCH TIGHTER AND NARROWER!  LOTSA THOSE REAL GOOD CORNERS THAT MAKE  YOU NEARLY CRAP EVERY NOW AND THEN! AND ITS TOTALLY DESERTED! PERFECT!

SHE STARTS OUT AT THE TOP WITH A SMALL CREEK AND EASY CURVES, BUT DOESNT TAKE LONG TO GET NARROW AND TIGHT!

 HARD LEFT!

RAYBOB CHANGES HIS SHORTS AFTER THAT LAST CORNER!!

OK..SO THERE WAS ONE TRUCK UP HERE BESIDES US!1

DOWN DOWN DOWN!

PITSTOP

 

A COUPLE HRS LATER WE END UP IN ST MARIES AND HEAD SOUTH ON #3 THOUGH DEARIE TO HOOK UP WITH #12  AND INTO  LEWISTON..THIS TURNS OUT TO BE  A NICE RIDE ALSO! NOTHING HAIRY, A NICE MIX OF FIELDS, HIGH FORESTS, AND SMALL CANYONS TO CROSS.
 
 

DROPPING DOWN ON #3 INTO THE GORGE..WOW! UP GOES THE TEMPS! FROM 14C TO 34C IN HALF A HOUR!!!!!
 

GETTING HOT! TIME TO GET THE COOL STUFF ON!
 
 

HEADING INTO LEWISTON ON 12

OK..NOW FOR A BIT OF A DIVERSION! A RUN BACK UP THE NORTH SIDE OF THE GORGE AND WE FIND THE OLD SPIRAL HIGHWAY! THIS IS THE OLD ROUTE DOWN THE HILL, AND ITS FRESHLY PAVED AND A RACETRACK! RAYBOB AND I  TAKE A BREAK WHILE CALE DOES A FEW LAPS ON THE GSXR..KINDA COOL LISTENING TO THAT THING HOWL AT 16,000 RPM UP AAND DOWN THE CANYON!  HE SEEMS TO HAVE A BLAST! :)

THIS IS  ABOUT A MILE FROM THE TOP ON FULL ZOOM! CALE IS ON FULL ZOOM ALSO!! FUN TO WATCH!

I WOULD  NEVER SURVIVE LIVING NEAR THIS ROAD....:)
 

WOW! THIS WILL BE A GOOD CORNER!!
