Oh great, another thing that can kill us.
I’m reading Stephen Herrera’s book on bear attacks at the moment but wolves are a new one to me…
Any tips on Oregon would be great, we’ll be loosely following the Adventure Cycling Association routes but local knowledge is always appreciated.

Oregon
Don't strike up a conversation with a guy from Detroit and end up in a strip club at 3am the night before you're supposed to be riding across the country.
I like Oregon though. Where's the clam chowder sketch from the Simpsons?

Crater Lake and Mackenzie River were unreal locations in Oregon. The loop of the lake is a lovely ride. Oregon is class, saw whales on the coast too.

They look great and better there than collecting dust at home. Super jealous of your impending great time.
Some ex-forumengers in Vancouver these days.
I also have a cousin in Oregon who has done the ride from his place to Alaska. Wolves and bears are a thing. Lone wolves in particular. One chased down one of his companions on the road and he had to take shelter in a camper van that stopped to help.

He's a massively experienced camper and river raft guide. Can hit him up for advice if you need it.
