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 |

Going to Vancouver, Eh? To cross the border and back bring a Passport if you have one, a really good idea. Voter ID card and a drivers license will sometimes work. Coming back the wait at Blaine, WA can get loong. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
I have stopped going up there for quick trips just too much of a pain. Victoria is a must see and go to the main harbor downtown, lots to do so park and walk. Vancouver BC is huge but I like to go to the Chinatown as its almost as big as the SanFran one. Also, go eat Indian (India) food as the are tons of good spots with stuff you cant seem to get anywhere else. Swing thru Seattle as it is a really pretty city plus lots of teeners to meet if you want. From Seattle I would drive down to Portland and then over to 101 as along the WA coast there ain't much and its not accessible like it is along Oregon and Calif. The drive down Oregon and Calif is incredible so drive slow and stop here and there so you can enjoy it. Depot Bay, Newport, nice small towns to cruise thru or stop overnight. You will enjoy driving thru the Redwood Forest and stop at the Trees of Mystery, Kevin loves that place, haha What to bring? hmm, a cell or sat phone. I'll give you Brads cell number so he can come trailer you to the shop. Geoff (IMG:style_emoticons/default/MDB2.gif) |
