Hi Folks!
I need to be in San Jose on the 6th for a job interview, so I thought I would take the FJR down the coast leaving tomorrow morning. Obviously I waited way too long to get your feedback, but there is still a little time. I will have five days. I decided to get there in four days to give me a spare day if something goes wrong. If all goes well I can spend Monday exploring the Napa valley.
So I put my newly acquired DH Nor Cal book to use and came up with the following routes (see maps below please). About 300 miles per day to allow some sightseeing breaks.
The first day will just be going west from Olympia to hwy 101 and then heading south on it to Newport OR.
Please let me know if you see any issues with my selected route. Any input much appreciated!
I don't know if it is too early in the season for any of these roads. Next thing I am going to do is check the elevation on them.
I also still need to look at the accommodation options. According to the book at least there are options.
Thanks!
Day 2: Fri, May 2nd
Day 3: Sat, May 3rd.
Day 4: Sun, May 4th.
