A couple of years ago I did a boundary ride of Washington State on my 2008 FJR1300. http://www.skitsap.wednet.edu/Page/5954 (I'm thinking my next one should be on a Spyder!) One place I stayed was in Clallam Bay http://www.clallambay.net/available.html and I really liked it. When I travel by myself I like clean and inexpensive. I spend more when my wife travels with me but I was going solo on this trip. The fella that ran the place was very nice and it was good place for me.

I'd come out of Gig Harbor, made a mandatory stop at Jeremiah's BBQ in Sequim http://jeremiahsbbq.com/ and then went right down next to the Strait just after Port Angeles. From there I went on into Clallam Bay. The next day I went to Neah Bay and had the best smoked salmon I'd ever had. True, I went along the coast on to Tokeland and didn't turn in at say, Aberdeen, but the trip on through Hoodsport would be awesome. I know because I've driven it many times going to the beach.

What I can tell you is that in the summer it's a motorcycle rider's dream. The scenery is a 10 and the temps are perfect if you're someone who likes to ride and wear protective gear.

Oh, you might cosider getting Bruce Hansen's Motorcycle Journey's Through the Pacific Northwest. It's a big help.

Let me know how your trip goes. I'm really thinking I need to do a Pacific Northwest Boundary Ride next time and do it on a Spyder. Washington, Oregon, Idaho and back home. I'm startin' to get the itch!
