Are you sure Tim's gonna leave his Polar Bears behind and migrate to this hot country in July? LOL....

Lots of details to work out but as ambassadors of the TOAK we will of course stop and greet all friends along the way, Rich, get some tacos with Lou head up into the Sierras so we can do some geocaching for our MC patch. We’ll do the coastal road and stay off the slabs as much as possible.
Sounds awesome. Keep us posted on dates and I'll compare to what I have available. I know I plan on taking time off for WS20, and we have a European vacation planned in September.

Last time Tim and Paula were here, they almost melted at 80°.

We’re just meeting up in Spokane and will have to slab it over to Seattle then down to a Portland. We’ll swing over to the coast and make our way down after that. Coast road, Sierras, etc etc

We’ll have to shuffle them off their bikes and into the AC.

US 2 doesn't add much time. Not sure if it's any better than the interstate. That part I haven't done.

Tim said he wanted to go through Death Valley and I asked him why?

I’ve caged it over most of these roads a couple of times. Spokane to Seattle isn’t a bad trip, pretty through the Cascades.
