You have lots of really good ideas if the timing works for you. +1 that Oregon's coast line 101 is very congested. If you get in a jam for time you could take I-5 from Vancouver to Grants Pass Or and then take 199 over to the coast at Crescent City. I-5 on that stretch is actually quite scenic. That way you'd catch all of the redwoods, and Calif's 101 is much better than Oregon's in that much of it is 4 lane. It's going to take a lot of hours to go down Calif on the coast from San Fran&nbsp\\;on down&nbsp\\;so be prepared.
&nbsp\\;
Hwy 1 N of San Fran is twisty so plan extra time. S. of San Fran I don't like to ride it due to congestion. Heck, I'm not crazy about 101 there either until I get S. of Salinas.
&nbsp\\;
I wouldn't try a side trip into Napa valley for the wine country unless you're way ahead of schedule. The roads and traffic in there are a nightmare if you don't know your way around. It's very confusing and very congested. I think the roads were planned by a 2 year old with a crayon, lmao.
&nbsp\\;
Have a blast.&nbsp\\;

Well guys I am back.
I met up with Y2k in Washington and we shared a picher. Had a great conversation with him.
&nbsp\\;
We stuck to the route Dean laid out and saw a lot of great things.
&nbsp\\;
We tented it on the way back down the coast, which was quite interesting.

 

How did the weather on the coast treat ya?
Looking on the puter it looked pretty good.

 

Actually we did not see the sun for a couple of days. Overcast and windy for most of the Oregon coast but still beautiful sites. We had a close encounter with a deer on Highway 4. Kind of weird because it was at an intersection where I had just turned left from a signal Light. He ran a long side us and I could have reached out and smacked him on the rear. I was at a slow speed and realized he could decide to cross my pat at any time. I stopped and she went over the guard rail. Didnt have the camera out to get a picture.

 

We spent the first night in the tent at a Thousand Trails at the Oregon Dunes. Got a bit colder than we expected.
