Attention Northwest DUers

[Semi_subversive]

On Monday I'll be escaping the CA Central Valley heat and the office (and wife and kids) to hop on the Harley and take a cruise up north. I'll have stop-overs in Salem to say hi to an aunt and cousin, then head over to Cascade Locks to see the Gorge. Then it's on to Ft. Lewis to see my semi-adopted son who's scheduled to get shipped out to Iraq by those slimy bastards in February. Next, I'll be visiting a former co-worker who retired and bought a nice place on Puget Sound at Port Orchard. And another long time friend has an office for his ship repair business (it's OK, he's a solid Dem defense contractor) in Port Orchard as well. The highlight of the trip will be going to Port Angeles and taking the ferry to Vancouver Island. I'll take a round trip ride from Victoria to Nanaimo and then hop the ferry back to WA. Then I'll have to start heading south ... slowly.

Are there some non-mainstream attractions of interest near my travel path that you can suggest? I'm one of those riders that likes to stop and smell the roses. This is "my time" and I'm going to enjoy it.
