	I just returned from a road trip that included the Pacific
	northwest from the Bay area north. Some of the places I found
	worth going to were: 
		
		Yosemite - Although a little out of your way a very
			   scenic strech of road in the morning before
			   the tourist rush. Good hiking too.

		Tahoe - The area around the lake is very commercial
			but if you like to sail and just enjoy the 
			beautiful country side, drive through.

		Lassen Volcanic Pk. - Nice high country drive with 
				      majestic cinder cones & patches
				      of snow.

		Burney Falls - A Ca. state park with THE most beautiful 
			       water falls I've ever seen.

	These are some of the places I went to in CA. in Oregon I stayed
	on the eastern edge (Hells Canyon area) and around Joseph is
	very nice.	

	Just a general note, America can be seen the best (clearest)
	on the old highways and NOT on interstates/freeways...
	Free road maps of each state are usually available at the 
	port of entry and are the best bet for finding the good roads.
	Sacrifice a little time and take the scenic routes.

	If you like to read during your breaks and evenings I recommend
	"Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" for some heavy
	brain food during the drive.

			Good riding
