Riding the Magruder Corridor | IDBDR

I finally got to ride Magruder Corridor through the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness and the Frank Church Wilderness starting in Elk City, Idaho and ending in Darby, Montana after dreaming about it for the last two years! It is a small section of the Idaho Back Country Discovery Route. I seem to be doing a slow section by section ride of the IDBDR every year lol Learn more about the Magruder Corridor, its history here: https://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_...

Many miners and traders used the Southern Nez Perce Trail as the most direct route from Elk City, Idaho, to Bannack or Virginia City, Montana. In 1863 Lloyd Magruder and companions were returning along this route from Virginia City after making a handsome profit of gold dust from selling supplies to miners. Four other travelers joined the Magruder group. A few days later, the travelers attacked, murdered and robbed Magruder and his companions in the dark of the night. The murderers rolled the dead man over a cliff, burned and buried the remaining evidence of their crime and fled to San Francisco with their stolen booty. Hill Beachey, Magruder’s friend, pursued the murderers and brought them back to stand trial in Lewiston, Idaho. Three of the men were found guilty and were hung on the 4th of March, 1864. Lloyd Magruder had been a successful California merchant. He was a well respected man and had many friends. Prior to his ill-fated trip, he had agreed to represent the Idaho Territory in Congress. As a result of this event, many places bear the name “Magruder,” among them the road on which you are traveling. ______________________ Follow me on Instagram: @blindthistle   / blindthistle   Website: http://www.asthemagpieflies.com/ ------- Huge thanks to my sponsors; Wolfman Luggage: http://wolfmanluggage.com/ Butler Motorcycle Maps: https://www.butlermaps.com/ Send me Letters & Care Packages: PO Box 220420 Milwaukie OR 97269 #MotorcycleTravel #IDBDR Disclaimer: Any links to Amazon are Amazon Affiliate Links.
