LOoooong awaited....
The basic plan:
Depart PM Friday, 4-22-16.
Phoenix to Perris CA where I'm thinking about grabbing Hwy 74 to Dana Point CA, catch 1 and head north up thru San Francisco, cross the Golden Gate by Sun PM, 4-24, avoiding the Bay area weekday traffic. Continuing north, following the coast via PCH and 101 all the way up into WA, "thinking" Olympia. From there to Spokane to see my sister for a day or 2 (plus she wants to go for a ride on her "little" brothers Harley). From Spokane, have not really come w/ a definite plan for heading back south. What I do know, is I need to be back to work, here in the Phoenix area, Monday morning 5-9.
Open for route, lodging, eatin suggestions or anything else.......I'm a pretty basic traveler... As long as it does not involve a tent but is clean, reasonably secure, hot shower and a bed, I'm good.
I'll be by myself.

Thank you. I actually like the idea of Morro Bay. Lets me tie in heading out thru Kingman (my house and daughter are there) and across Tehachapi, then 58 all the way across, then in /out of the bay area by Sunday night...That being said, been in / out /around the LA "area" many times over the last 18 years hauling equipment. Always have liked the Port Hueneme / Channel Islands area.

I've been to Pittsburgh, San Leandro, Vallejo areas. I've figured out traffic isn't to bad if in the middle of the night or middle of the day...anyway, just trying to determine best timing in and routing so I can spend less time worrying about getting run over and more time enjoying places I normally don't get the chance to see.

I'll add: the 2 big pushes I'm figuring are clearing the Bay area by Sunday night and if I decide to drop down through NV on 95 on the way back, we'll just say that part will be done at quite a bit of gas consumption...in between those, no hurry..

Spokane to Missoula is my favorite interstate highway ride. From Missoula head south to Salmon ID and wind your way south to Ketchum and Twin Falls. Take the interstate to Payson UT, south of Salt Lake and ride Mt. Nebo. Take 132 to Moroni, 89 to Gunnison, 28 to 24 to 12 and visit Bryce canyon.
