That sounds fantastic, Jeffrey.
While attending University of Oregon, we explored the eastern OR /
US-26 zone once and it was spectacular. Alas, it has been far too long

That was my experience as well when I did the Pacific Coast tour in 2000. I live in San Diego so I basically flew up to BC and rode home. The book was a great help on that ride.Robert TilleySan Diego, CASent from my iPhoneOn Oct 25, 2023, at 11:58 AM, Steven Sweedler wrote:I ride from Seattle to
I ride from Seattle to SF in ‘96. I camped at state parks and stayed in the
hiker/biker sites and was overwhelmed (in a good way) with how many
cyclists I met from around the world and it seemedeveryone had a copy of
