Route Planning

The route is set for the trip down.. Starting Saturday, we will be up at 4:00am or so to be in line for the Ferry by 5:10..then over to Port Angles in Washington State, with a drive along Highway 101 to Seaside Oregon as the first nights stop. From there we go to Coos Bay stopping at the Tilamook Cheese factory and a planned trip on the sand rail cars in the Oregon dunes. Hang onto your hat for that ride! (and you'll be picking sand out of your teeth for days) From Coos Bay, we continue along 101 to Eureka, stopping off to see giant redwoods and driving through the center of a tree. After overnight in Eureka, we follow the coast until stopping overnight in Santa Rosa. From there we leave early in the morning, picking up Shawn, his dog and the 1.3mpi Mini just over the Golden gate bridge. We end this day in Atascadero, with the last day a short jaunt from there through LA to Irvine and MMW...yea!
