Seattle to Big Sur - suggestions? Stops along the way?
In a few weeks I'm going to head out with my wife and ride from Seattle to Big Sur - and back. Looking for any and all suggestions about routes and attractions. Places to stop, etc.

Make sure to eat at the Somoa Cookhouse in Eureka Ca, It is great food and lots of it.

Motorcycles are not aloud on the 17 mile ride. I was there a few weeks ago. Make sure you go across the Golden Gate bridge in SF.

Looks like a great play on words if intentional.

Damn - hate it when motorcycles are not allowed on a specific road. Of course that makes me want to drive/ride it all the more!

Good idea, be a shame to miss Yosemite, Lake Tahoe, etc. if haven't been there.

Excellent - that's just the type of help I need. I've got a little less than 2 weeks. Figure south bound on 101 (right side of road will be coastal side), north bound - Sierras and Redwoods?
