It would help if we (you) had some freaking idea of WHAT you want to see and do....

Bad advice. Highway 1 is gorgeous in California. You can cut over to 101 in northern California and go along the coast in Oregon, which is magical. I-5 sucks ass.

Beautiful!

Everyday...

My and some buddies from high school did an 8 day road trip from WA to southern Cali. I would recommend hitting Crater Lake National Park on your way up. We did that and camped there and even with pretty cold temperatures the beauty of the lake is incredible.

Like others have said, drive up the Cali coast as much as possible. There was this black sands beach in the Redwoods National Park via HWY 101 that was probably the most beautiful stop on our trip (minus Yosemite).

Camping and hiking is gonna be challenging in this month, but I strongly recommend checking out the Olympic Peninsula and the national parks that are on the west side of Washington. If you have time, there are some incredible hikes east of Seattle (Mt. Si, Poopoo Point, Mailbox, etc) all of which are doable (but very hard) even in winter.

Good luck, also sightseeing in between your planned stops makes the drive less boring!

Well, so much for all the keyboard critics across SM talking about the need to vote "Them" out for one reason or another. Had hoped all the social ills folks rant about would actually motivate them to participate. Why don't they use the power of their vote? 😕

Probably something simplistic like 'if river + cliff, then there are falls dumbass' lol.

People might not think that some rivers stop sometimes.

I would love to vote but I have been out of state for over a month

What was she even arguing? I don't understand what the counter argument would be lol

It's not voting when there's only one candidate for everything.

The republican party is a joke country wide.

A sad joke.

Thanks!

Tonasket natural food cooperative and deli. Breadline Cafe in Omak. Republic WA downtown. Great brwe pub in Oroville. Eastern Okanogan County = little Seattle. Touristy and packed in summer. Okanogan valley and east over Sherman pass much more of a frontier feel. If you have the time... Get into BC at Oroville on 97. You'll go from sleepy towns to big city with great ethnic diverse eateries. Don't even get me started on the fake Bavarian town of Leavenworth.

That is absolutely the reason, yes. But this is an even year - for people not motivated to vote for SoS or Senate, would a vote for county council members really get them to show up?

Same!

Stick to the coast both north and south. Slightly longer but way way more beauty. Stops... San Simeon to see elephant seals breeding November through January. Astoria for Bow Pickers fish and chips and Goonies stuff. Tillamook for ice cream. Oregon or Washington state parks for yurt or cabin camping. Forks area for pacific beaches. Hope for stormy weather. Port Angeles area for Olympic national park. Once near ONP you'll find plenty of places to sleep in your vehicle. Repeat southbound for the drive of a lifetime.

....wow....

Good for her 🧁

I moved, re-registered to vote and am dropping my ballot today!

Kind of stumped on who to pick between Mike Steele and Robert Amenn (or just to abstain)

Does anyone else hear the Twin Peaks theme looking at this?

I actually got into a low-key argument with a customer about two weeks ago about there being a “waterfall season” here in a Pacific Northwest.

I’m a local and a tour guide. She was a tourist. I wish I could have shown her this.

The owls are not what they seem.
