First time posting on the family blog (Jon)... my Dad, brother and I have been talking about doing a trip like this for a while and it finally happened a few weeks ago. We started at the northern most tip of Oregon (Astoria) where we camped at Stevens State Park. Racoons all over the place in and out of our camp all night! First two days were big rains and head winds that made it tough to get to our destination and wore us out a lot faster. We made it to South Beach State park before one of us broke a spoke and cut the trip a day short or so. About 170 miles in three days riding. Only one flat, one non-injury producing crash, plenty of weather, plenty of stops and plenty of good memories. Good times! Next time though...let's be in better shape dudes.
Day 1 just as we left our starting point... (LtoR: Bruce (dad), Brandon and me)

Saw two whales surfacing here right off the coast
Stopped for a cone at Tillamook, day 2
Lots of scenic stopping points like this
Canon Beach and the haystacks
We each had one-man tents
Climbing a big hill, big forest
BYU Sucks!!
One of a million stops along the road...we pulled all we had in our trailors
