Planning a Trip, Pacific North West Options

[StratPlayer]

I'm starting to plan a trip to the pacific NW. Plan on leaving the 1st or 2nd of Aug. Of course going to take the 914 on the journey, heading up to vancouver then to vacouver island, do a bit of visiting with friends, then taking 101 back to San Fran. Leaving point is Salt Lake City. This will actually be my first long venture in my teener anything I should know or need to bring with me on the venture. Car seems to me that it is ready for this trip, will have it tuned an ready to rock when the times comes. Just looking for any unexpected surprises that I might be able to deal with by having some extra stuff aboard. All you help will be appreciated.

Thanks All In Advance ö¿ö

for a real nice drive come up through yakima and pick up hwy 12. it brings you to western wa and when you crest the cascades mt rainier is spectacular, great road with 2 passes, cayuse and chinook. going to bc use the sumas crossing, both ways, you get to avoid the backup @ blaine on I-5. on the way south go check out mt saint helens and the johnson center, another good drive. stop by parts obsolete in mcminville oregon. beter have some xtra cash as it is my understanding there are tons of hard to find items. get your valves adjusted in navato?

instead of going to van then victoria, go to victoria first. catch the black ball ferry in port angeles to victoria. also, there is a big porsche event at whistler (about an hour from van) the weekend of aug 22-24. the road from north van is another fun one. a rock face on the right and a couple hundred foot drop to the water on the left.
