Hey all, sorry in advance for the longer post, I will make it as short as I can. I am new member but long time lurker.
Years ago my father took me and my brother all over the Northwest (Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Utah) for a month long road trip hitting different spots to ride. We camped all over and rode everywhere from the Owyhee Motorcycle club in Boise, trials in Southern Idaho and Oregon, Umatilla, tracks out near Tooele Utah, up around Spokane WA, Washougal, and several places out in Oregon.
My dad has sadly passed away, but my brother and I are planning to do a similar this trip next summer now that our boys are all old enough to go.
There was one spot we hit that we loved. Just a fun place to ride, good people, had a lot of fun. We want to hit it again but cannot remember where it was. I have attached a couple screenshots of pictures (the only ones I have) to see if anyone here recognizes it and can help me out with where it is? I know this may be a long shot, but I would really be grateful if anyone can help us get back to this spot. At first we thought it was Washougal, but the more we look at it, we don't think so. Thank you in advance for any help!
Are you sure this is from the northwest, I’m almost positive that’s Byron in IL
Yep, agree, that looks a lot like Byron.

This would be the step up from a different angle

Wow, thank you dfr136 and Freddy.
I opened that link Freddy sent and I would agree, that looks like Byron. I have never been to Byron so I must be mixing up my trips and my dad's pictures. Thank you guys so much for your help.
Check out a youtube of byron to see. It def looks like byron to me as well.

Mind you, Byron is a real fun track and so is Sunset Ridge nearby. It's also where Chase Sexton grew up riding.
What year did you go on this trip to the NW?
If you're doing another NW moto trip be sure to check out fossil bowl in Clarkia.
It was 2016. My dad did all the planning and most of the driving, so we are trying to piece it all back together now. It does not help that we didn't take many pictures either.
Thanks! It looks awesome. We didn't make it out there last time, we didn't spend a lot of time in the Idaho panhandle.
Up on top of what i think was called Devils drop, llooking down on the track.
That picture is from 1988. Has anybody been to Track 148 in Lewistown Idaho? Pretty sure the guy standing on the right is Eric Christianson who supposedly runs that track. Pic is also from Fossil Bowl circa 1988. I always liked the guys who were fossil bowl regulars, very down to earth. https://ecmxpark.com/track-148/
Is Byron where the nuclear plant is?
yes
Most definitely Byron! Had some track changes since those pics were taken however
fossil bowl today
