    Your path through McCall and Cascade I liked if you need to go on Hwy 12. All I know it's a long ass ride with your addition of Durango! Just don't try to squeeze too much in 10 days. You want to have fun!

    So maybe something like this? Would you skip Lewiston and just turn left at waypoint E? I don't know any of these roads but I figure it might be a place to get a shower and rest.

    Okay, revised with waypoints as sleep destinations.

    Two long days to start, and very doable days for the remainder based on anything under 400 miles being pretty easy for me to do with a good breakfast and under 300 miles is a walk. Also, there is an extra day somewhere if I really need to recover some energy.

    Plan on getting stuck behind long lines of RV's and other touristas. Also, there may be road construction as well, as it seems there always is, and with no alternate route, you're stuck. In addition, if at all possible, do not ride there at dusk or at night. The BIG critters come out then, and it would suck to hit, say, a buffalo!
