Mallee, I'm pretty sure you're talking about what is called the Rattlesnake Grade, HW 129 south out of Clarkston, Wa (we're splitting hairs, here, Clarkston is on the west side of the Snake River and Lewiston, Idaho is on the east, the grade begins after Asotin). Do you remember crossing the Grande Ronde River a few miles before you entered Oregon? For the life of me I can't remember the name of that landing right now at the Grand Ronde but the float from there back to the Snake River is outstanding. But you're right that is a spectacular drive.
This barn is in Coeur d'Alene and I used to take Spike to this field every morning for a run before work. But, like most places these days it has been turned into a housing development. It would be sacrilegious to leave a quarter acre of field for people to take their dog for a walk. They did save the barn, I think they're going to make a restaurant out of it or something.
