Good job, Kenny! I've ridden that route from Washington through Colorado and I think you nailed it. Particularly my favorite motorcycle road, U.S. 12 across Idaho. If you're departing Kooskia first thing in the morning, it'll be a great way to start your day. Finishing up the day at the base of the Grand Tetons is just icing on the cake. I envy you!

Early June can be be a crapshoot as far as the weather goes along that route. I've been snowed on as late as mid June. Bring plenty of warm and dry gear.

I'm used to the rain in Seattle and good to 40F with my current gear.

Last year I hit rain and 40F weather crossing Montana in the car. I also found a group of ADV riders stopped to put on more gear right about that point too.

The main thing I need to finish before the trip is to get the ammo cans mounted for extra storage.

Less than 17 days until I leave. I'm going to need to replace tires and chain/sprockets this weekend.

I have always wanted to take a cross country road trip and just take my sweet time doing it. I know you will see some really beautiful stuff by staying off of the highways. I know it takes longer, but usually it is worth the ride. Enjoy.

I plan on getting a lot of good pictures. I'll be able to check on as I find WiFi along the way. There won't be much for cell service along the way though with at&t.
