Update on the Idaho, Montana ghost town trip.
Change of date. We will be heading out on Sunday August 11th. I will be bringing the Bounce House(my pop up trailer) so probably wont hit to many trails. I do have some FS roads and high clearance vehicles recommended routes planned but the majority of this trip is back roads and scenic highways.
Loose itinerary:
Day one: Lolo creek campground or somewhere close to there.
Day two: Bannack Montana ghost town w/ overnight stay in Bannack state park.
Day three and four: This is were I had to compromise to get Janel to come. We have a site at the Arco, ID KOA campground. We will be using it as a base for two days so we can explore the Mackay ID area with supposedly has a bunch of abandoned mines, building and some amazing scenery.
Day five: Back highways to somewhere near the snake river/Hells canyon area. Remote camping. I'm looking at a site called Big Bar camp right on the river. It's a long road day from Arco so we will see where we end up.
Day six: Interstate back to home.
Still have a couple spots left..
We are just tidying up the itinerary for the trip. We put a few cool things that we all wanted to see and just connected the dots. It is looking more like a scenic road trip than an off-road adventure. There are a couple of dirt road explorations planned. With the new rig, we didn't want to go all in on it's maiden voyage. This trip is going to cover everything from 1800's battlefields, Haunted ghost town, The nations first Nuclear power plant to a few abandoned copper and silver mines. Anyone have any other cool suggestions on offbeat things to see in the area of SE Central Idaho? Burger joints, pie or good places to eat whatever. Again if anybody wants to tag along, you are more than welcome. Aug 11th through the 16th.
