perhaps we should have ridden to rainier... but we are going to be in renton for 2 weeks in august... so we will have time for that...
so we wanted to see the washington coast... we headed out on wa 4 from longview then wound down by the columbian river to astoria... we headed up to long beach... then us 101 to south bend... then wa 6 to wa 506 and back to longview...
it was a glorious day... the roads were good... and for all who say the 101 is better in oregon... im thinking you are absolutely correct...
wa 4...
