If you get near Post Falls, visit the Buck Knife Factory.
Don’t miss the John Day Fossil Beds and the nearby Painted Hills (Oregon).
Keep off the path, beware of the gate
Watch out for signs that say “hidden driveways”
Don’t let the chlorine in your eyes
Blind you to the awful surprise

Moscow is a nice low crime town but the school is only 2 miles from a Recreational cannabis store on Washington side of the border. The Moscow area is a pleasant place to live, however is one of the most liberal areas in Idaho.
There is virtually nothing from Reno to Winnemucca...Nothing!
Drive fast, drive far. Enjoy 90+MPH. Fill up the vehicle in Reno.
There is one area to stop for fast food about halfway to Winnemucca, but that’s about it. Don’t stop in Winnemucca, it’s a place where hopes/dreams go to die. Heh...
Bkmk
If you go through Elko Nevada definitely go to the Ruby mountains (Lamoille Canyon). Beautiful and unspoiled scenery. In Idaho the Sawtooth range is very impressive.
Cool that you’re going to Moscow! One of my best friends grew up there!
And I’ve been that way before and here’s my random tips:
1. If you can buy some onions in Weiser then do so! These are the same onions that Ore-Ida uses for making onion rings for virtually every restaurant in America and they are the PERFECT onion for any dish!
2. Lakeview Produce at the corner of Karcher & Riverside just off of 95 on SR55 is the best farmstand in Idaho! Their potatoes are ugly but huge and tasty! Also try their cinnamon bread and their jams! They’re pricey but trust me when I say they’re worth it!
3. Homestead Cafe in Weiser is a great place for lunch/dinner and it’s less than a mile off of 95.
If all you do is get a bag of onions then trust me you will discover something special!!!
I envy you. I have a sister who lives in far eastern Oregon, in Baker City. You might even go near there while either going to or from Idaho on I-84. I have not made a trip yet to her place but I want to. I also want to visit Coeur de Alene Idaho.
Love it when anti-Christians play the religious card.........
No, patriotism isn’t the first card politicos play - it’s the “Quote the scripture” card........meaning I’ll use scripture when it helps me criticize my enemies, but still reject most of it.......
Hypocrisy is the #2 dominant trait of liberals.
#1 is lying.
Float or jet Hell’s Canyon from near Lewiston.
Keep your gas tank full. It is a long way between filling stations.

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.
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.
