Thanks guys!

Keep the info coming and we'll be looking forward to seeing you on the road!

And the Bull is where?  On the east coast we'd say that was in Washington DC -ha

Good one! It's in Klamath Ca by the Orogon border. Trees of mystery. Fun place to visit, but we just used it as a pit stpo

Don't forget to stop in Tillamook Oregon  for some cheese. Huge place, great cheese

Hey Guys,

We're too anxious now.  Great shots!

Ultrafun was asked by the wife to go from Virginia to Oregon (down the coast to San Fransico) to show her the West Coast Lighthouses and Ocean.  Only time available to get off work was end of Jul thru first week of Aug 2009.  Gotta due it, weather permitting, and I'm expecting to see a lot of traffic.  We will be heading south from Washington. My question is, what time of day is best to minimize the traffic impact, early morning or evening.  Driving at night is not a option on this leg of the trip.

Your help will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Ultrafun   

Ultrafun,
I make aleast part of that run once a month, in my truck, but while your riding along the coast leave early morning and during the week, I travel from Ft Bragg to Petaluma on Hwy1 tuesday, wednesday, or thursday are the best days, way too many RV's driving like they have all day on the weekends. Once you get off of the coastline to Hwy20 and hit Hwy101 it's fine a much wider highway, there's some beautiful scenery all the way down. PM me when your about ready I'll be around the coast the same time.

Is that why you're pulling the trailer?   

[Ultrafun]

Thanks Don.
Will PM you when we get to Yachat's, OR in Jul.

Screamin,
I had the same thought about the trailer.  How many pounds of cheese you think it would hold?  Sure is a nice looking bike and trailer Trapperdog!     

Ride safe!

 Stay in touch as to when you are going to be Oregon. We are only 20 miles inland from Lincoln City Oregon. We are always looking for a reason to ride. There is a lot to see and do.

JC pretty much spelled it out for you, but let us know when you've got the dates.  Who knows, you might end up with a California escort.

You can review the pages of photos in this thread.......you'll see just about everything here except the ferries and Reno (the rest of the photos are along the Calif. coast and the redwoods).........  http://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index.php?topic=27606.0

P/S  a few of the pages don't have photos.....just keep going, there are more.

You might want to plan a day in Garberville and check out the Avenue of the Giants. The Redwoods there are spectacular. Have lunch at the Ben Bow Inn if you have a chance. If you get further south along highway one Big Sur, Ragged Point and Cambria are great destinations. Hurst Castle is another stop if you have the time. Further south than that gets more urban and crowded and needs more planning around traffic, and would be more enjoyable if you hooked up with some CVO folks who live in that area. If you get as far south as the Riverside/San Diego area I have a cold one waiting for you.

 Here is a picture in the Redwoods "Avenue of the Giants"
Crescent City CA to Ft Bragg CA is like stepping back into time, takes you back to the 60's.

I know what you mean. There are a lot of the "flower children" from the 60's still hanging around those woods tending to their "gardens"...and their kids and grandkids. Yes, its not unusual to still see even a baby hippy from time to time.   Doc
