(assuming you can refocus off HWMNBN and Iraq for a moment)

can you inquire locally about the rideablity of the Lochsa Down River Trail? I would assume folks
from your area might go and ride it. The info I have from the ranger district in conflicting. One
piece of info says it's closed to bikes due to steep rocky nature, but that it's in good condition
and maintained annually. The other piece of information I have is that bikes are the only "vehicles"
allowed on the trail. The trail parallels the Lochsa for 17 miles, and all I can tell the that the
canyon is fairly steep. From what I can see the trail follows the topography but who's to say
whether it's carved into a rocky canyon wall with cliff drop offs, or if it's a nice forest trail
with a little sidehill action going on, up above the river

You wouldn't be commenting about my postings in an alt.* newsgroup, would you?

I'll see what I can find out. It rings a bell, for some reason. Dang, I was just at the LBS an hour
ago, too...

Oh, not at all. After all monsoon season is about to kick in. And all my plans for spring outings
may be foiled by having a kid in soccer anyway.

LOL! Monsoon season, in the Inland Empire? Well, maybe. :/

Moscow Mt.'s south side dries out pretty nicely after a few days of sun. Especially at the higher
points. Early April, my best guess.

I'll get back to you as soon as I find out what the deal is.
