Ugh, I was stuck on a one lane road in rush hour traffic because of an accident. It was something like a 1 1/2 hour drive to go 15 miles. I was in an Oregon mountain town on my way back from the coast and I was lucky enough to get stuck going uphill. I figured I would burn my clutch up and get eaten by mountain people, but we made it.

I love having a manual, but in traffic, I miss my wife's Accord.

If you meant me, I don't live on the coast. I live near Portland. It took us about 2 hours to drive to Lincoln City, OR. We plan to road trip with the dog down to NorCal to see the Redwoods soon and we would like to hit up some of the Oregon beaches this summer to check out the tide pools. I'm a bit of an amateur photographer and I love nature shots.

I asked cuz I have friends up there. The Avenue of the Giants in Humboldt county has some cool redwoods. I have six on my property, but they are not that size. 5 are about 100' though. Love to see your photo's. This is 20 minutes from my place and these are babies.

bikes have a hard time keeping up with a Z in tight turns. They will blow by you like you are standing still on the straights or sweeper turns though

I have been when I was a kid. I went almost everywhere. My parents spent all their money traveling. It was what we did. My wife never really got to go anywhere (except to Germany which makes me super jealous). So now I am looking to take her to all the places I loved so much. Mammoth cave, Redwood/Sequoia forests, Yellowstone, the Badlands, etc.

And the roads along the coast are epic. I can't wait to do some more traveling.
