goatboy Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Hello, Last time I drove to the Bugs was from Portland, and we had a friend to visit in Sandpoint -- so we went that way. I am wondering if there's any consensus (I doubt it!) about the fastest way to get to the Bugs from Seattle -- via Spokane/Sandpoint, or cross the border first and go east on major Canadian hwy? Thanks to anyone with an informed opinion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
counterfeitfake Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 I think that 90 to Idaho and then north is faster, probably by a couple hours. But highway 1 through BC is gorgeous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goatboy Posted August 2, 2007 Author Share Posted August 2, 2007 Are you suggesting that BC is prettier than....Spokane??? Yeah -- mapquest is confirming what you are saying -- Sandpoint seems QUICKER by 1.5 hours or so, but maybe I'll take the pretty drive instead....at least, on the way back! Thanks for the confirmation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeleRoss Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 "major canadian highway" you're talking about the land sans freeways I-90 to Coeur d'Alene, then north through Sandpoint...I've found that to be the quickest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattp Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 If you go via SandPoint, there is less driving on two lane roadways with aggressive truckers and you miss that speed trap in Sycamous, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
