David Corcoran is the webmaster of corcohighways.org and has been in the habit of documenting the state highway systems of the Mountain West states since 2007. In this Part 2 of a two-part conversation, Dan and "Corco" continued their discussion of the roads of Idaho and some of his favorite drives around the northern and eastern parts of the state. We also talked about Corco's beloved Seattle Mariners and took some time to talk about our experiences at Road Meets over the years; some of our favorite Meets were talked about along the way as we looked both to the past and future of the Road Meet as an event, and Dan gets candid about what inspired him to host his first Meet in 2021.
