No matter what way you go to White Bird you must both climb a huge grade and go down a huge grade. Then repeat the process to go home as there are multiple grades each direction. I'm sure it helps to keep the population down and tourists in moderation.

I saw the old road off of White bird grade....YIKES did it look scary... I would like to explore it someday without trailer in tow. I would first want to know if it is still maintained and oh my yes it did look steep!klbexploreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13294131539793643894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5626604027740903425.post-22005817880242601662014-05-08T10:20:02.957-07:002014-05-08T10:20:02.957-07:00You remember correctly, I was full-timing and fam...You remember correctly, I was full-timing and family needs brought me back to my home town. So for now I'm keeping life simple until I can be out full time again. I NEVER want to have to go through the down-sizing again. I'm spending as much free time as I can on the road exploring and living the life I want.klbexploreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13294131539793643894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5626604027740903425.post-63225622021961337982014-05-08T09:53:29.799-07:002014-05-08T09:53:29.799-07:00I'm glad you are home safe with such wonderful...I'm glad you are home safe with such wonderful memories.

I moved to Idaho in 1974, in a U Haul truck pulling my car, and Whitebird Hill and the Lewiston Hill both were still 2 lane corkscrew very steep roads. I'll never forget that trip or those roads. I still love to sit at the top of each of those hills and look at the old route, and sometimes drive it, at least at Lewiston where it is still open, or was a few years ago.Sue Malonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00332448503740101970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5626604027740903425.post-4236266632148593152014-05-07T20:15:24.182-07:002014-05-07T20:15:24.182-07:00What a nice RV Park for you last night.
