Re: Washington mid October

Google "Hanford tours" for the government website where you have to sign up, as the tours are very popular. But you will visit a place like nothing you have ever seen. Free, too. Can't beat that! I'd go along with that, for sure. My dad came from Denver to the Tri-Cities in 1944 and his first stop was the "B" Reactor. Hanford was the place where the plutonium was made that ended WW II. Fantastic tour!!568Views0likes0CommentsRe: Nevada?
I'd second; Cave lake, Cathedral Gorge and Angel Lake and add kershawy-Ryan State Park. At Cave lake I'd recommend Elk Flats CG as opposed to Lakeside, Lakeside can be a bit tight for larger rigs. While there take a drive through Success Loop, fantastic scenery, Kershaw-Ryan is out of Caliente and is a gem. At Cathedral Gorge, the loop trail is an interesting walk. Gives different perspectives of the hoodoos. At Angel lake there are two campgrounds one at the lake and another about 5 miles from the lake. Depending on the size of your rig the lower CG may be the better choice. At Kershaw-Ryan a walk to the gardens is cool. Oh, both Cave Lake and Angel Lake can have great fishing.398Views0likes0CommentsRe: WA US 97 South to Mary Hill
I drive that stretch at least once a week. It will not be a problem -- steady stream of RVs heading that way this time of year. Speed limit on the first section is 55 and on the final segment drops to 50. The slow corner mentioned is posted at 40 going downhill (south) and 45 uphill (north). The final turn, at the bottom, traverses a railroad overpass and is posted at 40. Due to work going on at the bridge the speed limit drops to 35 and is heavily monitored by the State Patrol (profit center). As an aside if you're looking for a break Maryhill Museum is a short jaunt (3 miles) west on SR14. Amazing museum in the middle of nowhere.670Views0likes0CommentsRe: US hwy 12 from Lewiston, ID to Missoula, MT
Everything Islandman said! That trek was usually our route of choice when heading to Kalispell to visit family. Usually would stop at either Wilderness Gateway of Powell for a night or two. Wilderness if the weather was cool or Powell if warm (hook ups to run the A/C). Enjoy the drive, it is beautiful!484Views0likes0Comments
