    For those that do not know, there are 13 "backcountry discovery" routes. Originally these were created for Dual Sport motorcycles, but are becoming more popular with Overlanders.

    "Starting in the historic town of Jarbidge, NV the route crosses range lands and then heads into the Boise National Forest and treats riders with views of Andersen reservoir and epic alpine camping at Trinity lakes. Tiny towns and treasures like Burgdorf Hot Springs make this a bucket list ride for sure. You’ll travel where Lewis and Clark made history and experience the legendary Magruder Corridor and Lolo Motorway which skirt the roadless Selway-Bitteroot Wilderness. You will reach modest hints of civilization as you pass through Sandpoint, Bonners Ferry on your way to the Canadian Border."

    Plan for day 1 of the trip was to go from Colorado Springs to Fruita, CO and camp. I was meeting my buddy and his Land Cruiser group in Idaho, which is a 15+ hour drive. We figured cutting a few hours off the trip on Day 1 would make the Day 2 long haul easier.

    Catthew decided he wanted to tag along as well.

    My buddy had an family emergency so he was meeting us late on Day 3 in Glenns Ferry. We had some time burn so we took the puppies to a local school to run around.
