My daughter and I will be traveling to Idaho soon to check out U of I Moscow and surrounding areas.
Thinking of doing a loop through Reno, up 95 and back down through Oregon.
Looking for ideas, suggestions, warnings and general information.
Keep your gas tank full. It is a long way between filling stations.

Pardon me?
Are you maybe on the wrong thread?
Moscow is the Berkeley, CA of Idaho...leftist run the place.
When driving through Oregon, DO THE SPEED LIMIT! Oregon State Patrol loves out of state drivers and their $500 tickets. Don’t get sucked in following a car with Oregon plates that is speeding. The troopers use them as decoys to catch the out of staters.
Also, when driving at dusk, or early morning sunrise hours, or at night, watch for deer. Their thick as ticks.
There’s a great Army-Navy store at Idaho Falls.
So that is where they are made!
thanks for the info.
I have always been curious.
McCall, Idaho is fantastic.
Lakes, rivers, streams.
Someone said John Day Fossil Beds. That’s a good stop.
Crater Lake if you’ve never seen it is amazing. I just did Hwy 62 between Crater Lake and Medford this weekend, and that was a great drive with a couple of cools stops to see unusual river behavior.
Then I’d go across 299 or 199 and take in Avenue of the Giants (redwood trees!) in Humboldt County Hwy 101.
If you go by Denio Junction and the time works, stop for one of the best hamburgers around. Truly an out of the way secret.
Beware the Post Falls Potato Monster!
If it catches you, it will mash you!
Yup!
Sorry!
Cool! You can tell people you’re going to Moscow to work on the 2020 Trump campaign.
No worries!
:)
The Libs Won’t bother you here, they’re too worried about being shot. Everybody carries here, no license needed but no guns are allowed on campus.
Both Troy and Viola are small country towns and close enough to the university campus. If you’re coming from California unifying the housing extremely cheap.
Just a caution, stay out of Pullman it’s not a good place to raise a human being.
Vendome is right about McCall being beautiful, although 95 might not be the mostest scenic highway in Idaho.
But you are likely traveling to get someplace, rather than wander-—at any rate, the east side of the Selway-Bitteroot is gorgeous too.
And Dragnet2 is right about campus but maybe wrong about Moscow. While I was there the campus leftists ran the town, through the mayorship and the city council. The sour joke was that we had lost four retail stores but gained five hookah bars.
But the lefties were booted from power and the town is now on the upswing, according to my best friend out there who just paid me a three-day visit. Downtown is busier than he can remember it.
The campus is blighted by commies, as is just about every university in the nation, but there is and always was some pretty good pushback...the man I received my first conceal-carry permit from was a young law student who sued and WON the right to carry a weapon on campus in Idaho.
If you ever think you need his name, drop me a line and I will pass on what is or used to be his phone number...
Moscow is a strange town. Besides its own university there is Pullman and WSUjust up the road(close to 30,000 students total), but the whole area is surprisingly quiet, which ain’t all bad.
Off the beaten path, off the interstate, Moscow is a place you need to be going to to be going there at all.
But there are some damned good people out of town, out in the hills just a bit...I never had better nor more skilled and sure-footed neighbors than I did there.
Feel free, as I say, to drop a line.
The gist:
Q: What about college campuses?
People with enhanced concealed carry permits can have their firearms on campus, except in dorms or venues with more than 1,000 people.
They’ll go all Trigglypuff on me.
Ha!
