My GF and i are getting ready for the trip up north to the WCR in Seattle this upcoming weekend. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)
WCR Page

We'll be driving the scenic route, heading up north Thursday morning on 101 along the coast, through the redwoods in northern California and into Oregon.
We'll be staying at a cozy Inn on the cost in Bandon, Oregon on Thursday night.

Then off to Seattle on Friday morning. We'll most likely miss the ferry trip on Friday morning and arrive at the Hotel in Issaquah sometime in the early afternoon.

I can't wait to see ya'all ...

PS: My GF just got a new camera, so there will be picture'esque updates as we drive along ...

Hi Andy,

Sounds like a very nice relaxed drive.

Post lots of pictures for us.

If you can swing it continue up the Oregon coast, cross the bridge at Astoria & come in the Washington side. Check out Ilwaco Wa., very beautiful!

I think we got lucky on the weather, suppose to be 80 degrees all through the weekend.

We should be back at the hotel between 7:00 & 8:00 Friday evening so take your time.

Have fun!

Greenie

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) That is one of the best drives EVER. Granted I have never covered that much territory in that amount of time but sounds like fun.

At this point I'm not sure how much I am going to be around (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) but I know I'll see you. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif)

Andy,

Why don't you leave Wednesday night? Get a jump on the distance & make the ferry trip with us .

I think this excursion is going to be a real highlight of the event & I'd be sorry to see you miss it.

no fairies in oakland. they rarely make it east over the bay bridge. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif)

the GF wants to see some giant, hard, woody things pointing to the sky, so a daytrip through the redwoods it is ...

andy, just north of Orick CA there is a great stand of redwoods to walk thru. do a search for Ladybird Johnson Grove. it's really cool. the drive up to it is a nice one too. not far off the 101. well worth the excursion.

There's another great stand just off 101 near Crescent City on 199... only a couple miles out of the way.

Sorry, but it just had to be said (maps don't count).

Awesome trip. I grew up in Eugene and have bicycled doun the coast a number of times. Absolutely beautiful scenery.

Lots of blind corners, be careful out there.

one other thing to watch out for. north of Orick there is a herd of roosevelt elk that graze on the side of the road at times. the area they frequent is marked with signs. the elk are pretty damn big. they make a deer look like a large dog in comparison. be on the look out. i won't drive that section of road after dark.

If you want redwoods and twisty road, try route 20 between Willits and Fort Bragg. You get to Fort Bragg and its 45 miles up highway 1 till it hooks up with 101 again. One of the prettiest rides and a GREAT road.
See ya there Elliot
