Good Morning Mtnflopper ,
I also vote for Idaho .We are in west central Idaho . 5 hours from Boise and 3 hours from Spokane . I know we discussed this earlier this year about meeting somewhere near my place . We have hundreds of miles of Forest service roads , We have the Red River Hot Springs which have little cabins to rent ,A small motel, a couple 2 room rentals ,weekend cabins to rent, Two Cafes , Lots of beer and a general store to buy groceries . All parties can be had at my little ranch on the covered deck and there is a fire place pit to put your feet on while we discuss how a Kristi KT7 kicked ass !!! I do believe we could run the cats down the county road snow covered shoulders to our rooms .(I'll check on this )
Town is 2 miles from my place .I talked with the local steak house owner and he told me for everyone to show up at his place for a steak dinner ( medium prices ) and we can park the cats in his gravel snow covered parking lot .
Val and Carol's Cafe has the best Biscuts and Gravy anywhere and i'll stake my 300 pound ass on it !!! One pancake covers the whole 12" dinner plate . I never saw anyone who could eat two .
This area is a huge snow mobile area so all are welcome !!!ATV's too . Everyone uses there ATV to go to town so don't worry about upsetting other tracffic . Just obey the driving rules of the rode and you'll be fine .
Here is the web site to check us out .
