I haven't heard anything about a SS1000 at Moscow. Is there info out there?

It is quite difficult to do an in-state Idaho SS1k that includes Moscow without doing some out-and-back routing, and/or using some less-traveled roads which are problematic at night due to critters. So I gave up on the in-State aspect.
I laid out a tentative route that starts/ends in Moscow, uses the cities below as "corners", and is run counter-clockwise for reasons of maximizing daylight running time in the more remote parts of WA/ID/MT. Google Maps says it is about 1,075 miles. I'll check it with Garmin's Mapquest (or the Mac equivalent thereof). This is a pretty nice ride: about 50% scenic but reasonably fast motorcycle roads, 30% freeway (much of that also scenic and curvy) and about 20% transitions.
Missoula, MT
Cusick, WA
Tonasket, WA
Cashmere, WA
Yakima, WA
Waitsburg, WA
Colfax, WA

Ohhhhh!
That includes Lolo Pass Highway! Yum, yum! One of the best times I have had on a motorcycle!
Well done, H Marc!

Certainly watch for the forest rats on US-12 coming into Montana from Idaho! From personal experience, I was approaching Missoula at dusk, and there were some big 'uns!! I don't think I exceeded 35 MPH from the Montana border all the way into Missoula that evening! I remeber this like it was yesterday! This was in May '08. Just FYI.
Cheers!

Will there be qualified witnesses on site? I'm considering a BBG on the way to WFO and would like to be certain of an appropriate welcome.
