Located just outside of Culdesac Idaho is one of the neat little roads tucked away up on the hilltops of northern Idaho. It’s an amazing old road, with emphasis on Old and a double word bonus of Narrow. The road is barely the width of one and a half lanes of a modern roadway, and… Continue reading Old Winchester Grade

Nobody else seems to be on this road on the weekends, and I’d be willing to bet that it’s busier during… Continue reading Oregon State Route 204 ‘Weston-Elgin Highway’
