Better to finish at the Gorge don't you think? Don't want to waste all your energy and then go get beat up in the waves, but it could be fun to get beat up in the waves then go spend some relaxed days in the Gorge. Anyways, that is my plan (with a few days of work inbetween)!morewind wrote:I'll be catching the evening Coho on Thurs June 16. Maybe start at Flo or the gorge? then, Gold Beach if the wind gods permit.
Ewart - It definitely feels safer sleeping at one of those trucks stops when you know your screams will be heard by someone! There is a decent rest stop just north of Eugene that is slightly more off the highway than some others.
Don't forget to bring a towel!

If I'm driving straight to GB I take the Umpqua Hwy 99/Hwy38 to Reedsport then S101. It's the exit about 5 miles S of Cottage Grove on the I5.nanmoo wrote:Also - What is the route everyone takes from I5 to the coast, I know last year the vets were telling me I had not chosen the quickest route.
Google maps suggests the more southern route to Bandon but that is a slow road to the coast, but you do stay on the I5 longer. Both are about 10hrs from PA but the Reedsport route is a bit shorter in distance and Hwy 38 to the coast is fast.
Now That I’ve Given Up Hope, I Feel Much Better
I took the 42 west from Roseburg last year, it was just fine and few hills....at the end tho you have to either backtrack a bit with 42 or use 42S to Bandon....the 42S was a single lane opposite banked racetrack littered with farm animals and grandmas, it was hell in the rig and I just about wiped a few things off the road to try to keep from flipping off the turns into the everpresent ditches. The 38 was a nice drive but the additional trek along the coast makes the 42 and 42S worth taking nonetheless, IMHO, just go slow at the end there.bwd wrote:If I'm driving straight to GB I take the Umpqua Hwy 99/Hwy38 to Reedsport then S101.

This time I am going via Flo so it's coast highway at night all the way, nice and mellow behind all the other rigs with Marley on the box and a (single ) cool IPA between my legs
Wish less, sail more!!

Give me a shout before you head down 604-803-4860 that sounds like a plan. I'll be leaving early Tuesday but have suff to do in Seattle so could work nice. I camped on a pull out once and had some wild animal try to claw thru my windshield...So safety in numbers!

I'm entered in the Pistol River Wave Bash and will taking the Tuesday morning ferry to Port Angeles and driving down to Gold Beach.
Latest Forecast looks pretty good for wind.
I'll be posting a blog on my website:
