Subject:Info on Hwy 20 in Wa?
From:Shawn Wright
Date:Wed, 21 Jul 2010 08:06:06 -0700

My new tire/wheel purchase will require a detour to Blaine, Wa while enroute
to Calgary, so we're thinking of taking Hwy 20 between Burlington and Omak,
Wa. I'm interested in reports on this road - I expect it will be a tough
climb, especially with my new larger 28" tires. The plan is to head north
from Omak via Osoyoos to see family in Enderby, but we could also continue
East toward Whitefish and then on to Calgary.

I'm interested in hearing about road conditions and sights on Hwy 20, and
also the area around Whitefish. We've visited the area between Spokane -
Sandpoint many times, but usually via Hwy 2 or I-90, and haven't been east
of Hope, ID before. Unfortunately, we'll only have a few days to spend
camping.

Also, if there's any listees near Blaine who would like some free stock
wheels with tires, let me know. If not, if someone could advise of a place
to dispose of them properly near Blaine, I'd appreciate it.
