If at all possible try to avoid St Helens on the weekends this time of year, 'less of course ya wanna go slow through some mighty fine motor sickle roads!
You realize the COG Northwest Rally is around that time. http://www.cog-online.org/clubportal/EventDisplayNew.cfm?clubID=1328&EventID=138221&mo=7&tDate={d%20%272011-07-07%27}July 22nd - 25th in Wenatchee, WA
+1!Also, if you wander due south into Oregon and like big craters, check out Crater Lake. Another wonder worth seeing.
Make sure ya do Blewett Pass, exit 85 off of I90! Biggest threat is LEO on the Wenatchee side of the pass. Big sweapers, scenic ride, well maintained road. I consider it one of the must ride roads in the state. Also consider White and Chinook passes, lots of nice technical twisties, lots of scenary, and there may stil be snow up high. Head thru Enumclaw and head up, ride thri=ough some old growth forests, head down towards Yakima, turn at the Oak Creek Elk feeding station sign, and enjoy another set of nice roads. Just dont tell anyone, they are a secret!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sweet will be looking these routes up the google maps tonight. LEO on the Wanatchee a big threat because I'm a magnet for the men in blue?
Take Hwy 2 from Grand Island west. Much more scenic than the slab. I mean, for Nebraska.

I-5? Never heard of it.
I'll look for you on route. I was thinking about catching 821 between Yakima and Ellensburg though, it looked more interesting than I82/97.
