BC to Canby? Plan on some extra time...

[Farmer]

Hit Port Angeles, Take 101 all the way to Olympia. It'll change into Hwy 8 about 11 miles to Olympia

That's what I did for Canby '10. Really liked the drive down to Olympia.

Here's some detour routes for anyone unfamiliar with the area's highways etc...

Specifically, southbound--

 

 

or southbound option B--

 

 

 

then, on your way north again--

 

 

 

or northbound option B, slightly different from the southbound option B--

They are looking for a Bailey bridge...............only problem............WWII was a long time ago.

I was thinking of going to Port Angeles and going down the coast to the Columbia River and up to Portland maybe.

If you do that ,, from what i understand the bridge over north river on state route 105 ,, may not be marked on a map,,  ( just north of Smith creek state wildlife area) is being repaired and they make you wait for like 45 minutes at a time to cross..So using the 101 from Monte to Raymond and skipping 105 coastal "Grayland, North cove, Tokeland" route ,,,,,,,,, may be advisable... :)

[datzenmike]

Pfft. an hour wait is ok. Thanks.

[bananahamuck]

Cool cuz the scenery between Tokeland and Raymond is pretty bitchen ..  One more tip ,  if driving through Raymond and South Bend , if the sign says 25 mph ,,, they aint bullshitting you,,,,,  not even a little bit..

I went through it a few times this past weekend, going northbound and southbound! Wasn't too bad driving through the detour on Riverside, not too worse than normal Seattle traffic!
