Beko -

I'm no shrinking violet when it comes to touring.
I include a lot of dirt on my tours - including Alaska, the Yukon, and the NWT.
I don't think I've ever felt colder or wetter than on the west side of the Olympic Peninsula.
Twice - in July and in August - maybe I just got a bad draw of the cards.

Not to mention that the loggers were in one of their many fights with environmentalists -
And the people in the Forks cafe where I had stopped to get in out of the rain -
Looked at me like I was the second coming of Jane Fonda.

And I know remote given I have been on dirt roads in Wyoming - 40 miles from civilization.
(Civilization in this case meaning a ramshackle bar/store/post office/cafe with a trailer out back)
When I lived in Jackson, I would run into visitors who were nearly killed by mountain bike companies.
Young locals would take them out on fabulous - but exhausting - routes.

From the sound of it, MBD is relatively new to touring and is looking a a fairly straight shot.
Surely, you will admit that staying on US 101 on the west side is not the prize winner.
To really enjoy the Olympic Peninsula you have to head to Neah Bay or Quileute -
Ride up into the park to Sol Duc Springs or to Hoh Rain Forest.

If that is what MBD wants to do, then the west side makes sense.
But if he wants to mosey down the coast in a few days as part of a Pacific Coast tour -
Then what you describe is not what he has in mind.

Touring the rainforests of the Pacific Northwest often requires out-and-back riding.
That's something that many touring cyclists are not willing to do - regrettably.
And although I agree with all of your superlatives -
I don't think that's what MBD wants to do.

PS - I've had the pleasure of touring NW rainforest in Alaska, Vancouver Island, as well as the Olympic Penin.
