Will, Chris, and Rob ( @Revere Overland ) enter their 6th and 7th day overlanding the Idaho BDR. This section take them across the salmon river, up the mountains, and through the spooky woods to find an old, but very historically significant Ghost Town. Then, they head for Elk City Idaho and the Magruder Corridor. Along the Magruder, they visit two jaw dropping fire towers, and visit the site where the Magruder Massacre happened before continuing on to Darby, Montana...the BACK to Idaho and into the Lolo Motorway at night. This Adventure is getting Adventurous!

Just curious.. in the part around 6:30 with the tree cutting and mud holes.. is that Road 643, or off on Hi Yu Mine Rd (or similar dirt road)?

It is. We didn’t take Hi Yu though. Just stayed on 643 all the way into Florence.

We did the Magruder a couple years ago in my XJ. Burnt knob is worth the trip. You briefly showed the stone bridge over the Selway river towards the end of video. It was built by the CCC during the great depression and is still working. Very few of these bridges still exist. Great video guys.

@@Venture2Roam The XJ with a 5 inch lift and only 31 inch tall tires made the way up the Burnt Knob no problem. The worst thing was we encountered a Tacoma going up the trail when we were coming down. It was on a sketchy narrow section of Burnt Knob but we did get by each other.

@tjack49er Год назад

Idaho native, when I moved from Moscow to Boise in 1993 I did the entire trip on dirt, well I crossed pavement twice. Retraced the route with a few detours as Covid descended on the country with a friend and spent ten days driving 672 miles of dirt and 112 on pavement. There’s still plenty of dirt tracks to follow that few venture out on. Out of 672 dirt roads we had to cut three trees and winch up a gnarly slope one time otherwise the 2006 jeep TJ unlimited (LJ) did it with 31” tires and open diffs.

@Venture2Roam Год назад

LJ!!!!! I love those rigs..hard to come by. What an awesome experience that must have been! We finished this trip with 1,400+ miles…but not sure how many on pavement…probably 100-200. Cheers to finding those dirt roads that are less travelled. Thanks for sharing your story!!
