Wuste Road Trip - After party

[aliencurv]

well, no i lied. no after party.

Jon and I were thinking of turning the wuste road trip into a 2+ week adventure. This is a long shot, but if anyone is thinking of doing the same, we could share ideas and cruise together.

Re: Wuste Road Trip - After party

tripleG and i have already mapped out a route.
it goes vegas to bakersfield, then avoiding LA go bakersfield to Monterey.
Monterey get on the PCH and wind our way up that, through SJ, SF, all the way up the oregon coast.
hit up places like tillamook (cheese) and other wicked spots
Cut inland near portland, up the I-5 to seattle, then inland to leavenworth, through leavenworth to cour d'alene, then up through BC to cranbrook and through to Calgary

i think the full trip was 6000km's roundtrip and 3 days bang on of driving.
we were looking at it taking ~7 days

Re: Wuste Road Trip - After party

you're missing some of the worlds best driving. gotta get on the PCH at montery then hit it up through SJ and SF, then all the way through eureka, and i think the best spot to cut in is near salem or there abouts.

I spent a lot of time when i was younger travelling between northern Cali and Vancouver, and the PCH is incredible.

Re: Wuste Road Trip - After party

Funny enough I was looking at doing a similar road trip to visit a friend down south....

I have a general question, have any of you had any problems driving in the USA without a front plate....?

Re: Wuste Road Trip - After party

for those just driving back from vegas to calgary, you're missing out on this...




if that doesn't look like a fun road to drive, nothing does.
