Thanks for the info. I do have, and have read both of the Rains's books. I have the time but my wife is still employed so I am not exactly sure how I will approach the trip. I may do it over 2 seasons so we/I can spend a little time in Central America. My main goal however is to get Oasis up to the PNW and cruise to Alaska a few times before I get to old!
Timing is really important and I believe going north along the Pacific coast (San Diego to Seattle) can be the hardest part of the trip. What were your planned stops from PNW south and what time of year did you travel that section?
TKS,
