You should try the reservoirs at the Duck Valley Indian Reservation some
time on your way to Idaho. It's in Nevada, just across the Idaho border
south of Mountain Home.

Off hand I don't remember ever taking that route to Idaho .... and I've been
going to Idaho 2+ time/ year for decades

I've been the all lonely desert route from over near JR in Oregon into Boise
and my normal route is from Well up to Twin Falls.


Especially towing the trailer I try to avoid two laned busy roads as much as
possible ... seems someone is always on my bumper and someone else is always
going slower than I could in front but not slow enough to allow safe passing
while towing .... I stress out over the 93 section from Wells to the to the
Picabo turn off for days in advance ;-) and make every effort to hit it off
peak hours/days

Getting old has many not so nice things, but THE one I notice most and hate
most is decreased 'boldness.' Things that I wouldn't have even thought
about 15 years ago, now worry, even scare me. Example, I'm leaving here
next Monday or Tuesday and I'd kinda like to stop, buy the tribal permit,
and fish Ft Hall for a week or so. BUT, the "roads" down in the bottoms
are terrible, maybe worse than terrible, and getting stuck up to the axle
and miles from anyone else would be a real trauma for an old man with
limited walking range. So I probably won't stop. That ****es me off,
.... at myself ... and my old man cowardly nature.


Opps, I tend to wander G I wanted to ask. Is that road up from I-80
into Mountain Home the same .. better than ... worse than ... 93 from Wells
into Twin Falls .... IYO ? and imagine towing as you ponder the question

I've driven that route through Oregon dozens of times. In fact, I'm
leaving California for Idaho tomorrow or Sunday and plan to go that way.
It's a long and not windey road.

I've only approached Duck Valley from the north. That road is pretty
good. I've heard, but cannot verify, that the route from the south is
problematical.
