AMP: 57

Location: S 3rd St E  and E 2nd St S, Soda Springs

Reassurance shield after the 30 split.

AMP: 57

Location: S 3rd St E and E Hooper Ave, Soda Springs

At the light, turn right for SH-34.

AMP: 58

Location: E Hooper Ave and S 3rd St E, Soda Springs

Reassurance shield. I got pulled over by the Soda Springs Police Department about right here for failing to activate my turn signal 5 seconds prior to making a lane change, though I did activate my signal, just not a full 5 seconds prior. The officer then attempted to get consent to search my car, believing I was carrying weed, warning me that if I continued up 34 I would likely run into drug dogs, and it’s better to take care of it here. I declined consent (repeatedly) and left.  Fortunately, I was not given a ticket for the alleged infraction. I have never seen such obnoxious behavior on the part of a police officer. I will never enter this town again.

AMP: 76

Reassurance shield a few miles after the last one

AMP: 91

Location: SH-34 and Gray Rd, Caribou Cty

Keep right for 34, which makes about a 120 degree turn to start heading east towards Wyoming. A cattle drive looms ahead. To my knowledge, none of those cows are drug dogs.

AMP: 93

Location: SH-34 and Wayan Loop Rd, Caribou Cty

Reassurance shield a couple miles later as we head out of the Wayan area. I see two other cars for the first time. None of them are drug dogs.

At the top sign, we’ll turn right to head to WYO 239, which connects quickly to US 89.

AMP: 113

Location: SH-34 and Stateline Rd, Caribou Cty

Follow 34 a couple blocks down the state line road to WYO 239 to US 89 to Alton, WY and Jackson, WY. Turn left to follow a county road.

AMP: 113

Location: SH-34 and Stateline Rd, Caribou Cty

Turn right for US-89. Idaho 34 may or may not end here; I choose to believe it follows the two blocks south to the WYO 239 connection. Regardless, we’re out of Idaho so I don’t have to worry about drug dogs anymore.

AMP: 113

Location: Stateline Rd and WYO 239, Caribou Cty

That sure looks like an ITD sign. Turn left to get TO US 89 via WYO 239. Idaho 34 definitely ends here.
