Bought some art in Port Townsend. Took the ferry to Coupeville. Over Deception Pass to the Shrimp Shack, and on to Anacortes, WA.

Port Townsend is an adorable town. I had an amazing time on a whale watch (Orcas!) and a great dinner.

A day trip west to Cape Flattery—the Northwesternmost Point in the contiguous United States. And…a quick trip up to hurricane ridge in the Olympic National Park. Such a beautiful part of the country

Through the rainforests of the Olympic peninsula, Lake Crescent and to Port Angeles, WA.

A super-cold morning ride hrough the Mt Hood National Forest and up to see Mt St Helens. Remembering the massive explosion and devastation that happened in 1980.

A great time at the rally in Redmond. Met some folks. Bought some stuff.

Riding through the scenic high desert of Oregon on my way to the BMW Rally in Redmond, OR

Along the Columbia River Gorge on the Washington side, then over the Oregon side to Pendleton, OR.

Over the Astoria bridge to Cape Disappointment and along the Columbia River to Vancouver, VA to get the 12,000 mile service on my bike.

Coffee and biscones in Rockaway Beach. Cannon Beach and Haystack Rock. the Astoria Column, a good pizza at the brewery, and a good night at a comforatble B&B.

Not a lot of miles, but a whole lot of cool stops. Tide pooling, scenic overlooks, and sea lions on my way to Tillamook.

The rugged southern Oregon coast. A great meal at Matties Pancake House and back north to the beautiful town of Florence.

A short ride, and some great food in Bandon, OR. If you've never been there, you should go. It's a cool little place on the southern coast.

Climbing up from Ashland, OR to Klamath Falls and up to Crater Lake National Park, where there was still about 7 ft of snow. Then over to the Oregon coast and some schnitzel.

A day of caves and summits. Oregon Caves National Monument and Preserve, a wild road through the Klamath National Forest fire damage, Happy Camp, CA and an epic, scenic ride along the river.

Klamath, CA through the Redwood National Park, and crossing into Oregon to Grants Pass, OR

Scott had to turn back due to a coolant leak. I kept going north to the Redwoods National Park. The visitors center was closed and it was getting late, so I’ll visit the park in the morning.

Riding along the northern California coast does not get old. Today was a pretty straight run up the PCH to Fort Bragg, CA.

Mill Valley, CA to Muir Woods, and along the PCH to Jenner, CA. Then, along the Russian River Valley to Windsor, CA. And, a really nice dinner.

Over the Santa Cruz mountains to the PCH. North through Half Moon Bay and San Francisco. Over the Golden Gate Bridge to Mill Valley and dinner in Sausalito, CA.
