We did a similar trip last summer, except we live in Colorado so drove to Jackson Hole to Hood River, OR (west of Portland) then to La Push, Wa on Rialta Beach.

We stayed at quileute oceanside resort in one of the beach front rentals. Loved it, but food in the immediate area was limited.

We stayed there four nights and hit all of the Peninsula from there, added some driving, but we wanted to be on the beach. Saw someone mention Cape Flattery and we loved it. It is a long drive in and out and there is so much to do you have to pick and choose.

Then we drove down Hwy 101 to Canon Beach to see our daughter.

I feel like the Oregon part of your trip will be a bit rushed, but I would prioritize the Olympic Peninsula as you are.

It's a great trip, enjoy.

There are kits to bypass the "feature" just make sure to get the one for your vehicle. I haven't looked into how it might impact warranties.

Hope he succeeds, but is the NFL changing the rules to limit defenses to a base 4-3 defense and a 4-man rush? That's what he faced yesterday, no blitzing, only DL could rush the passer...we know he can throw when not hurt, he doesn't make good decisions under pressure.

Choice Extra fare is closer to say Delta's Comfort (which includes free alcohol)


SW Choice Extra includes free alcohol just like Delta Comfort+ along with 2 checked bags, and I don't think Delta even gives 1 (please correct me if wrong).

I only know this because I had to fly my son from Nashville to New Orleans next week and SW was the only direct flight. Cost was on par with other airlines, but no layover or baggage fee.

We will see how his experience is.

ETA: I prioritize the cheapest direct flight at the time I want to fly over a particular airline.

We would get Krispy Kreme donuts there in the 90s. Other than that I got nothing.

Not disagreeing, would have taken the points. That said I live up here and the blizzard wasn't in the forecast I watched this morning. I am sure they have their own resources, but I was expecting cold with little to no precipitation.

My big issue was the actual play called. They called a 20 yard pass to the perimeter that would have gone for 2 yards. If your going for 4th and 1 call a tush push.

Lol. The refs are fixing the game for both teams...no they are just bad.

At least he isn't afraid to call out bad officiating, unlike all the other cucked commentators.
The thing he should think about is why he called a 20 yard pass that went to the 1st down marker (1 yard down field), instead of doing a tush push.

I don't care that they went, it was the stupid play call.
Married 5 years before 1st, 2 years later for the second.

We wre empty nesters in late 40s.

Wouldn't do anything different.

I can't speak for LSU, but I am retired and teach at a smallish college to keep from going crazy. As a professor, I can approve late adds of students well after the official date. I am sure this is much less of an issue for "amateur" athletes.

My daughter is studying Graphic Design and Film at a small college in Oregon. She's a junior and the timing of this didn't work out for her, but I think it is awesome that you started here. Please post future opportunities if you have them.

Yep, LSU had put the game away against #3 not #10 at this point. Will IU be able to take an early knee?
This is where I usually post "it's time for a Beck int" and this year he throws a TD
