Sharon (wife of 40 years) asked the other day if we could go to Idaho. Having flown there on several ocations with her I was all for it. Then I was hit with the dreaded two words. ROAD TRIP.

We are leaving on Monday morning for a road trip to Idaho. Arg. We will be going from Yreka, CA area up hwy 97 to Klamath falls OR, east to Lakeview then north to Burns, OR. We will head east to Boise area then head north on hwy 95.

The question for the Idaho folks is where is the best Burger in that part of the state. Also the best home made pie.

Maybe we should go to Denio Junction from Lakeview then through Fields and up to Burns. Goal is no interstates.

Maybe I should keep the spot on so my every turn on the windey road can be appreciated by all. Gee, I wonder if I will wish I were flying.

Go thru Fields. The milkshakes are still the best in the world.

Come on up to Mckenzie Bridge in the morning and get it out of your system.

better yet, develope auto problems and take the damn bird.....!

5.5 hrs from here. Maybe Fields for a shake then north and camp at Alvord Desert for the night.

Tim

Hah!!!!! I thought I was gonna be the only one on a "DRIVING TRIP" this year...

I almost cried when my wife informed me we were driving to the Kenai Peninsula for the fishing trip instead of flying this year

That is, until I saw the weather upon our arrival

I enjoy road trips sometimes, and looking over the countryside from a zero AGL perspective. Just as you see things when flying that you don't see driving, the opposite is also true. Have fun.

If you get near Boise, go north on 55 to horseshoe bend and eat at Kits Riverside inn. One of the best burgers around!

we used our spot on our trip to Jackson hole and Moab this summer... so my daughter could follow our progress... take it with you Tim... I'll check up on you every day...I'll want to see where Tipsy buries the bones at your stops...

Tipsy will be along for thge trip. Spot page http://share.findmespot.com/shared/face ... 76ZBaO92LN

Not sure how to put the short cut at bottom of posts

When I'm on a road trip & looking for good food, I use two books: $100 Hamburger, and Jane & Michael Stern's Road Food. Works well, always had a good meal.

ASW.

On a road trip, I usually stick to the chains: McD's, Denny's, etc. Ditto for motels. Maybe a bit boring, but no big surprises either. (usually surprises at eateries or motels are a bummer)

Best shake so far is Fields Station. Burger was good too. Best place to move to so far is Weiser, ID.

Hey Tim
Just pulled up your spot.
Looks like either Tipsy ate it, or you fell of the wagon .
Strangest track I ever saw. Maybe best that you did take the car.
Have fun.

Well, you are not going to be too far from Silver Lake, Oregon and the best steak in the world, the Cowboy Dinner Tree, just a couple of miles south of Silver Lake. They are only open Thursday through Sunday and, believe it or not, reservations are required.

I see there are a couple forest service strips in the area. How far from the steakhouse is the nearest strip?
Thanks Gary

Gary,
Mahogany mt. strip is right across the street and the owner is a cool guy who is happy to have you land for dinner. He only asks that you call and let him know and will ask you to give him a call after you leave to let him know you made it Home safe. When you make your dinner reservation they can give you his number .

geez Tim I looked at your spot page.... you're supposed to keep it on the dash not attached to tipsy's collar...who's navigating that trip anyway?
