9, 10 night, San Diego, Zoo, and a " I went this far, so am going to Tijuana" visit :) That would take us to Aug 21Return home...not sure which way, but really want to stop at the Rogue River to do the jetboat tour at Gold Beach, OR, so will need to stay a full day there .
Am I completely crazy thinking I can do this, or am I on track ?
We want to try to be back for the 5:30 ferry from Port Angeles to Victoria on the 27th

Some of your travel days are going to be long. Along the coast highway your going to encounter roads that are curvy and demand a lot of concentration, also many little towns that you have to slow down when navigating thru. It's not like a big Interstate where you can just set the cruise control and eat up the miles. We usually find 250-300 miles is plenty in a day along the 101 Highway, but that's just us.
Cheers Ray, have a great time, we just finished camping along the Oregon coast on the way back from snowbirding and loved it as always.
