Another reminder about restricted truck routes. Unless a truck wants to take Idaho 71 for some reason, they’re more or less past the point of no return.

AMP: 104

Location: US 95 and Weiser St, Midvale, Washington Cty

A few miles later, it will randomly start raining and we’ll enter Midvale. The legend was starting to peel, which is pretty unusual for Idaho signage, but it looks like it was replaced by 2020.

AMP: 113

Location: Superior St and Haller Ave, Cambridge

A couple miles later, we’ll enter the town of Cambridge. Curiously, the mixed-case sign was replaced with an older-style all-caps sign sometime between 2017 and 2020.

AMP: 113

Location: Superior St and Washington Ave, Cambridge

A few blocks into Cambridge, we’ll approach Highway 71.

AMP: 113

Location: Superior St and Hopper Ave, Cambridge

In a block, turn left for SH-71. Stay straight for 95 north.

AMP: 113

Location: Superior St and Hopper Ave, Cambridge

Follow 95 towards New Meadows and Lewiston. Take 71 towards Hells Canyon and the Wallowa Mountains region of Oregon. The road serves as a long backroad over to Baker City, but it’s probably faster to go down to Weiser and around.
