Oregon Hwy 101 Coastal Road
So, we are headed to the great northwest for the first time and getting ideas from friends (no enemies I hope) as to where to visit and roads to take. We head from the northernmost part of Washington ...

We spent a week in early June this year driving 101 on the Oregon coast and loved it. The scenery is just great and there are countless pull-offs to enjoy it. Lighthouses, sea lions & seals, rocky beaches. Bring your camera.
It shouldn't be hard to find a site at the huge Fort Stevens State Park campground to visit Astoria, a nice town with an excellent maritime museum. You can also visit the Lewis and Clark national historic site.
My favorite part of the coast was the middle to southern section, less traffic than around Cannon Beach. There are several great small, uncommercialized waterfront towns where you can buy fresh fish from the fisherman who caught it.
We stayed in five State Parks but especially liked Beverly Beach SP (booked far in advance to get a site a very short walk to the beach). Also liked Harris Beach all the way south.
Never had any problem finding diesel. Gas Buddy was useful, as always.
