This section of the BDR made us work for almost every mile. So much incredible scenery...and so many problems beginning to develop..but at this point in the trip, the three of us were working together like a well-oiled machine. I really hope we get the chance to do more trips with Rob. For more V2R vids: kzread.info/dron/fAtRPIM8OOVhyVXWHnvaIQ.html

@@Venture2Roam I just ordered the book, I can't wait to read it! I've been to Wallace several times and Burke to the old mine plant there a couple times. I'm from Michigan but have many friends in Washington so I'm out there several times a year and Idaho is by far my most favorite state in the region (plus I love the Smurf turf and BSU is my second favorite team). I don't think you'll ever get sick of exploring or get tired of the views, the passion you guys have is very clear and really fun.

Another great video! I always look forward to the next segment to see the challenges you face along with the beautiful scenery. I lived in Boise for 3 years and used to camp above Kirkham hot springs all the time. I loved how you could be up in the mountains in a couple of hours. That was back in 2008 and so much has changed now. I did the Rally in the Pines side by side event in July in Challis and got to visit my 2 brothers, but didn't have much time to relax. 1608 miles towing in 9 days with the truck and another couple hundred in the side by side. I'm hoping to retire in a year and can't wait to spend more time all over Idaho. Love it there!

Thank you so much for watching the series..it's my first attempt at doing one, but it has been really fun. I so agree with you...sometimes it's easy to forget how beautiful the scenery is when you're editing because you're looking at the images so much...but Lolo was one of, if the the most beautiful areas on the whole route. I can't imagine doing that on horse back in the snow...

Another awesome episode! We just finished a fairly challenging trip as well (3700 mi, 28 days, 13h to do 7mi in places). You posed a really good question; will I ever grow tired of it? I think at times (especially in the heat of the moment) you might think, why am I doing this again?

We did the trail last summer. 2023. We started it June 7th in Pierce idaho and went north to the Canadian border gates. Turned around and came back on the highway . We got back on in Pierce again and went south to Boise and ended it there. Problem free other than breaking both spring on my overlanding trailer. Still managed to drag it out of the wilderness to get new upgraded springs and hangers before continuing on. I was in a two door Jl It was a bit narrow for my buddy and his Dodge TRX. Brand new 2000 miles on it scratch the hell out of it. put a hole in the front plastic bumper cover.. No closers, no fires , no snow A few trees to remove Lots of branches to cut.

Because we considered it sacred ground, we didn't touch the rocks at all. Not too long ago, someone desecrated all of those cairns, and we didn't want to encourage any type of activity that might alter what's there.
