I watched your previous 2 videos. I am tripping, because my wife was born in Omak, and raised in Oroville. We met at church camp, by Rimrock lake just over white pass haded east. The dam on the Smilkameen River is where we go shoot every time she goes back home to see her dad. I strained my hip jumping into that river just up from the dam. Her church has a family camp at Lost Lake every Labor day weekend. I've spent quite a few holidays there with friends from all over the state, and northern Idaho. Climb the trail up to the top of strawberry mountain. I rode my 1982 Suzuki GS 1150E over the North Cascades highway about 25 years ago. I regret not bringing another jacket or a hoodie for layers. I was so cold my chest was shivering from the inside lol. Lesson learned. I haven't been to palmer Lake in 20+ years. That's beautiful country up there. Great to see it again!

If you start in Seattle, plan on about 6 days to Sandpoint ID and back... Longer if you take some of the other tracks on the way home listed in the tracks from BestRest. If you go to Montana, plan on 8 days round trip or more if you want to see some other goodies. You may be able to shave some time off, but why? 😊 Cheers ~GrizzLee
