Location<\/strong>: SR 142 and State St, Lyle<\/p>\n

Reassurance shield literally right on the street corner of 14 and 142. It’s so close it’s useless<\/p>\n

MP: <\/strong>13.34<\/p>\n

Location<\/strong>: SR 142 and Durkee St, Klickitat<\/p>\n

Reassurance shield as we leave the small town of Klickitat. The road thus far has been windy but of a reasonable width. Speed Limit 45<\/p>\n

MP: <\/strong>20.94<\/p>\n

Location<\/strong>: SR 142 in the middle of Buttfuck Nowhere, after Wahkiackus but before the flats<\/p>\n

SR 142, previously down in a kind of river valley, ascends out of it. The entire uphill grade is made up of this one lane cowpath. The lines disappear and the road becomes incredibly narrow with comically painted “shoulders.” It’s dangerous to go much mroe than 25. It wouldn’t be so bad if it weren’t for the 500 foot cliff on the side. I had one oncoming car and it was a tight squeeze. If you’re on the River Rd near Riggins Idaho (a similar deal), a National Forest maintained roadway, a little narrowness is acceptable. On a state highway this is downright retarded. I guess there’s not enough traffic back here to warrant a widening<\/p>\n

Location<\/strong>: SR 142 and Glenwood Rd, Klickitat Cty<\/p>\n

The road comes up to the top and is perfectly tame for the duration. Speed limit still only 50. Reassurance shield after the turn to the village of Glenwood<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MP: <\/strong>35.1<\/p>\n

Location<\/strong>: E Broadway St and N Llama Ln, Goldendale<\/p>\n

SR 142 passes through the northern part of Goldendale and comes to a JCT US-97, which bypasses the town to the east<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MP: <\/strong>35.29<\/p>\n

Location<\/strong>; E Broadway St and US-97, Goldendale<\/p>\n

Turn left for US-97 N to I-82 in Yakima, right for US-97 S to I-84 in Hood River. Almost surprised they don’t sign those interstates<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

N to SR 22<\/a>, S to SR 14<\/a><\/p>\n

W to SR 141<\/a>, E to US-197<\/a><\/p>\n
