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.
