    I've heard some bad stories about that route...especially in winter!

    I used to scare my students taking White Bird from Lewiston to Boise!

    Gorgeous drive....what a hill!!!

    I went up in that area once...don't remember where exactly....thought I would never get back to "civilization".

    think I had been driving less than a year.

    All hills are safe.....Just as long as you respect them....

    I was running 35 mph North to Tiny Town on that last grade....Pizzed off a lot people....But...I'd rather get flipped the bird than flip my rig.....

    My husband followed a shipper's directions once... and that was the biggest mistake..

    They told us to make a LEFT on 20 in Usk, WA, instead of the RIGHT we were supposed to make... we went all the way to Tiger WA before we found a place to turn around. Road was 1 lane, no place to turn around, snow 3 feet deep, and darker than an abandoned coal mine!
