Home to Cascade Lake, ID. Day 1

Beautiful abandoned railroad bridge, Idaho. Idaho's beauty is beyond belief! As a 20 year resident of Washington state, It makes me feel a bit jealous!

The rolling hills of Washington & Idaho. WA-12 is super scenic and the beauty only increases as you go into Idaho

The rolling hills and grass fields of Washington & Idaho


The kind sheriff's deputy in Pomeroy, WA. Gave me a warning for speeding. Very professional and courteous. Warned well heeded and I finished a 5,000 miles journey. Many thank to the officer!

The combination of yellow and green. It was difficult to go 5 minutes without stopping to take a photo!


The star of my show! My motorcycle - Bijli! (Bijli means lightning). Indian Springfield 2017 in Indian Red


The rolling hills of Washington & Idaho. WA-12 and Payette river scenic Hwy in Idaho are super scenic

Idaho feels like hand-crafted with purpose!


The yellows and greens... for miles and miles!


View near Hell's Canyon, Idaho. The silence, the air and the views... unbeatable!


Scenic Byways of Idaho


Happy cows of Idaho


Happy cows that like to pose for photos! Made a few cow friends :-)


Camp host at Lake Cascades State Park, ID. The best host ever in 20 years! Host ensured the campfire lights up, and offered me coffee in the morning.

Lake Cascade State Park, ID. So lucky to get a great campsite

Campfires are always unforgettable, & if the Milky Way is shining right above you, then it becomes a dream with eyes open

Memories...

  • Getting a warning from Sheriff's deputy for speeding. Hats off to the officer's professionalism and concern about my safety. The warning helped me settle my first day jitters and nerves. Warning well heeded and I finished the 5,000 miles trip and retuned alive. Many Thanks Officer! #WAPoliceisthebest

  • Seeing the milky way from my campsite. Idaho has good spots with dark skies... try cascade lake state park #Milkyway

  • Camping by Lake Cascade... a beautiful campground, crackling of the burning wood in campfire

  • Meeting the campsite host at Sugarloaf campground. The gentleman gave me generous supply of lighter fluid and ensured my campfire starts. In the morning, came back to offer me coffee. A very kind soul! #CascadeLake, #Camphostsrock

  • Idaho is beautiful beyond belief. Felt a bit jealous being a WA resident for 20 years :-) #BeautifulIdaho #MybeautifulWA

  • Dropping my riding gloves somewhere on the road in Cascade town, then going back, searching for it and retrieving it from the side of the road

  • The hot sunny day and being buried under leather!

  • The pang of fear I felt when I crossed WA state. Felt like i moved out of the safety of my home.. but felt like the long trip really began when I crossed into Idaho.

  • Standing at a spot mid-way between north-pole and equator, In Idaho

  • The rolling hills of grass of many different colors both in WA and Idaho
