2600 miles of motorcycling on July 14 - 29th, 2007. Seattle to Monterey and back, mostly via coast of Oregon and northern California. At Monterey, we attended the three day MotoGP races at the Laguna Seca racetrack.

Lorinda and I took a ferry from Seattle to Bremerton to begin our trip
002IMGP0169.JPG
The ferry ride gave us time to re-check all our bags
003IMGP0170.JPG
We discovered that Curious George had stowed away in one of Lorinda's bags
004IMGP0171.JPG
We took a short break before crossing the bridge over the Columbia River south into Astoria, Oregon
005IMGP0172.JPG
It rained lightly on us in Astoria, giving us a chance to try out our "emergency" rain gear
006IMG_0908.jpg
We spent the first night in a lovely condo near the beach on the main drag in downtown Seaside, Oregon
007IMG_0909.jpg

As we headed south along Highway 101 on the Oregon coast, we stopped frequently to take pictures
014IMGP0178.JPG
...As I just said...
015IMGP0180.JPG
I couldn't resist the opportunity to document who the weirdo was who kept taking pictures of Curious George
