Well, I haven't had any travelling adventures for months now, and I'm overdue.
I'm starting to formulate a plan to ride my motorcycle through Idaho, Washington, Oregon and down to the upper northern parts of California, then back to Idaho.
I'm still working out the details and trying to get feedback/advice on various legs of the journey, but I am preparing by trying to find someone else to come along as well, and to start getting my body back in shape to handle a several days long ride.
I'm planning 5 to 10 days round trip.
I am gathering maps and weather and site to see information. I'll be posting updates in the extended text portion of this article.
...

I HAVE to stop at the following locations en route:
(POssibly Moscow, ID).
Cheney/Spokane, WA.
Bellingham, WA.
Eugene, OR.
Medford, OR.
(Maybe check out Klamath Falls).
Mendocino, CA.
Ukiah, CA.
Chico, CA.
Then some route back to south eastern Idaho.
SO far, the proposed route is:
Malad City, ID up I-15 to Pocatello.
Then I have to decide whether to take I-15 north through Montana,
I know the route through Arco towards Challis is rolling desert lava flows. I've no idea what takig i-15 straight north is like.
Asuming I take the northern route through Montana, it looks like I'm stuck in the Internstate all the way to  spokane.
If I take a different route, such as highway 93 via Arco, then I pass through some area I've not seen in years through Challis, and Salmon, then eventually end up back at I-90 in Montant again.
Or a more winding (more pleasant?) path by taking I-86 at pocatello heading west.
Then route 75 north at Twin Falls.
Then passing through Sun valley and Ketchum to stanley.
Then take 21 west thruogh Lowman to Banks.
Then north on 55 to new Meadows, then north on 95 through Grangeville, Lewiston, up to Moscow.
Then take 95 north to Cour d'Alene.
Then West on I-90 to Spokane.Then to Chaney.
Anyway ,after Cheney. it looks like.
I can take a number of routes to Bellingham.
here's the current one I'm considering:
Highway 2 west to Wilbur.
Then 174 northwest through electic city, continue west on 174 Bridgeport which changes to 173 continue west to Brewster, then to Pateros, then North on 153 to through Winthrop, continuing west on 20 through the Cascades to Burlington.
North on 9 to Deming.
Then west on 547 to I-5, then North to Bellingham.
For the Southern leg, I think I'll just stick to  I-5 following the coast for a while through Seattle, Tacoma, Olympia, Tumwater.
Then continue South on I-5 to make better time straight to Portland, OR.
Then Continuing a faster track for the rest of the trip (little less scenic) down I-5 to Eugene. then Medford.
Then I-5 double back a bit to 199 west to the coast to Crescent City.
Then down 101 following the coast to Eureka.
Then inland for a bit on 101
until hooking up with 1 back to the coast.
Down to Fort Bragg. Then to Mendocino.
Then 1 to 128.
then on 253 to Ukiah.
Then north on 101 to 20.
Then East on 20 north of Clearlake (I've already been on the south and west sides of it before).
At Williams hop onto I-5 north.
Then hop off at 32 east to Chico.
Then 99 north to Red Bluff, then get on I-5 (or is that 273 paralleling it a better ride?) north again until reaching Redding.
Then continue north on I-5 to Weed.
Northeast on 97 to Klamath Falls, OR.
Then east on 140 to Lakeview.
Then north on 385 through Valley Falls, up to 20 to Burns.
Follow 20 east to Payette.
Then 30/I-84 to Boise.
Then just take I-84 East to Snowville, UT.
Then take the back way (38) into Malad City, ID.
So, please comments and suggestions for making the most of this trip.
I'll be taking video and photos galore on the way.
