West coast (US) peeps:
My cross-country itinerary is going to take me across the country to Seattle to visit my sister and then down to my new home in Petaluma CA.
I'm trying to decide whether to do it in a straight shot down I-5 ( (long day but I've done it before), or to take a detour to the coast at some point and stop a night on the way.
I've wanted to go to the Oregon coast for a while (or WA! Or far northern CA!)
Is there a good route to do that? Yes it would add another night on the road.
But I wouldn't have a *whole* lot of time to potz around, so maybe I'm better off doing a separate trip up to Oregon coast in the future... that's sort my inclination at the moment...
Any suggestions/thoughts/opinions?
