PNW is for sure a beautiful place, I've been but not on a bike. It is a long way from Florida and not possible for me the next year after my tour of the Rockies when visiting Cortez. Maybe fly out and rent a bike is a possibility. I guess it is a question for Phantom; is the PNW a possibly for you or is that too far. Some guidelines as to what is possible and what is not would help start to narrow down a location.
