I am planning a trip from Seattle to San Francisco in July. Any recomendations? I have the LET'S GO: California and the Pacific Northwest book. Specifically I have the following questions? 1) Good areas for whitewater rafting? 2) Is Oregon Caves worthwhile (can you do some very amateur spelunking or is it another one of those paved caves with electricity and phone service e.g. Howe Caverns ) 3) How cold does it get? How wet. 4) Is it worth it to go to Olympic for only a day? 5) Where is the best costal area? Both for beaches and scenery? 6) There is no number 6. 7) Can you go to the top of Mt. Lassen in a day hike? (& return) 8) Mt St. Helens: Is she smokin'? What is the best way to see it. 9) Being from Manhattan I may o.d. on nature by day 3. Just in case , what good city stuff is there in Seattle, Portland or San Francisco? Especially walking around type things. 10) Is the Boeing factory tour good. Is the building really bigger then the Bell Labs Holmdel atrium? What about the Weyerhauser tour? 11) Nightlife? 12) Anything interesting on the way from Lassen to S.F.? 13) Speed traps in Oregon, Washington? 14) Is it worth it to spend two days in B.C.? Where? 15) Good day hikes in Olympic, Rainier, and Lassen? O.K. Thanks a lot. If you are ever in NY stop by Houston St. and The Bowery, tell them I sent you and you will get your windows cleaned.
