My family and I are on course to bike the Pacific coast from Seatle (San
Juan Islands) to San Francisco this summer.  Any hints or help would be
appriciated.

General Facts:
    Map being used:	"Bicycling the Pacific Coast" by Kirkendall &
    Spring;  also have the AdventureCycling maps as back-up

    Flying with bikes to Seattle, flying back with bikes from SF.

Mode:		
    Wife will drive support vehicle and do some biking.  Bike 50-70
    miles per day.  Camp in state and national camp grounds, preferably
    in bike areas.

Group:	Self and Wife:		mid 50's
	Daughter, partner: 	late  20-something
	Family friend		mid 20-something
	Nephews:		Late teens
	Mascott:		Sam the Wonder Dog, 3 years old

Dates:	Month of July '96

Problems: 
    Renting support vehicle as we live on east coast so family vehicles
    not practical.  Daughter/partner live in San Francisco, could rent
    vehicle in SF and return to SF one  month later.

Other Issues:
    Thinking or writing general interest article on trip with pictures. 
    Any suggetions on publications?

    Any comments/suggestions/anecodotes would be appreciated.
