So I ended up skipping Portland. The weather was bad, I didn't know anyone there and it was significantly out of the way. Instead I stuck to the coast going up the 101. Despite the bad weather I still really enjoyed today's drive. I'm loving the Pacific Coast of northern California and Oregon. Also Oregon marks the first new state I'm crossing off my list. In addition today I learned Oregon only has full service gas stations like New Jersey, I always find this very awkward, I think I would rather pump my own gas.

Tomorrow I head to Seattle, I plan to continue on the 101 and do the loop around Olympic National Park before heading into the city.

not sure if you're going to see my comment on your last post, but yeah I can meet up on Thursday when you're in Seattle/Bellevue!

The Discount Tire you were referring to is the one on Bel-Red road, right? that's the only one I know of in Bellevue.

pretty pumped to meet a fellow oppo, especially one from quite far away! so far I've only met Stuttgartobsessed off oppo, and that was great!

This is a pretty sweet trip you have going. I think you should definitely get a front page write-up at the end of the adventure! It is definitely one of my goals to drive across the country from NJ to CA one day so reading about that would be excellent. Where have you been staying over night along the way?
