What? Not even in a 4WD? We don' need no steenkin' roads. :-) Just another
way to deseribe the not-straightline Idaho/Montana border.
What I'm really describing is just the shape of the course, then throwing
some names on it to give it reference. The north end is actually a quite a
ways north of Coeur d'Alene, and that wiggle is mostly done by the time you
get to Moscow.

Do it when you know you'll have a small turnout (end of season). Just gave
you the basic rules. I've found in the past, you need a worker dedicated to
just counting laps, separate from the one running the timer (on our
JACircuits timer, he has to keep hitting the re-finish button every lap, but
it is surprisingly easy to lose count)
