On Hwy 12 from the Columbia until Walla Walla can be flat out dangerous, many yahoos want to fly down the road passing everyone, keep your guard up and watchful eye. As you near Clarkston you descend from the mountains to the Snake River, watch your speed. Roads should be fine, it's a light overcast day here in the Tri-Cities, light breeze.

    Thanks I use to drive Diesel Truck up to Washington/Oregon from California back in the 70's Just never traveled this road.
