I wonder if there's an uninteresting part of US-2. Couer d'Alene had a really high let's-not-stop-in-this-town, let's-floor-it-to-the-next-town-instead kind of feel to it thanks to the Aryan Nation (they're gone now, things have probably changed for the better since then). And so did Bonner's Ferry (downtown is essentially a factory outlet strip mall). The only thing that kept us from stopping for the night on BC-97 in Creston, BC was lightning struck a tree when we were a quarter mile from it, and the tree fell across the highway just a few thousand feet from the international boundary in front of a cabin with a huge grass meadow lawn (they let us camp in their field for the night until IDOT could make it to the border with a log truck and some chainsaws, which we woke up to early the next morning). > Cities are sewers.

It's like a conservative Seattle with worse weather. -- Paul Johnson Email and IM (XMPP & Google Talk): baloo@ursine.ca Jabber: Because it's time to move forward http://ursine.ca/Ursine:Jabber
