I realize that this is your journey and you are welcome to do whatever.This is my offer if you wish to join me : leave Missoula and use 12 to Clarkston,on to 26 for othello,down to 24 to Yakima and on 410 to Enumclaw to kent.You will be welcome to spend nite here and WE use hwy 101,hwy 3 thru the narrows to Port Angelus,take ferry to Victoria,use canada hwy 1 to Nainamo and ferry to Vancover and pick-up Celt and go east to nelson .I am not raining on your parade but both "Z" and myself are quite a bit south of your planned journey.If you are locked in stone perhaps I could meet you up north or at least when you catch up with Celt..a 1/2 days ride for me.I apologize if you feel I am presumptous!

life is good..I am retired..sold my America in 2008,bought a Rocket and sold that in 3/2013 and now own a new Triumph Bonneville T-100
