Counter-clockwise loop around the Olympic mountains from Seattle to Seattle. Did a mixture of stealth camping, state park camping, and a hotel. Best week ever!

Excellent! I did Townsend to La Push two years ago and it was so cool. I want to do this full loop some day.
Did you do the ODT Mtb Route?
Looks like an awesome trip!
Yes please tell us more about your route.
Excellent!!!
And cheers to you for properly putting most everything in the back, in your panniers, and on your rack!!!!
I rode the entirety of Route 66 with an almost identical setup. Here are my golden rules that you exemplify.
1. If you add more bags, you will fill them. Fill them ALL. Fill them unnecessarily, Dont add bags, subtract!
2. The bike rack on the BACK of you bike is specifically designed to carry stuff. Because? Because? Because?……They dont impact your steering, stopping, visual, landscape, or the balance of the bike!!!!
3. Put all essential items in the right pannier (if western driving = right). Or do the opposite if riding in, say, Okinawa, Japen. Why? Because when you stop on the side of the rode, you want your bike near traffic, NOT YOUR ASS!!!
My bike trip of 4,763 miles has spoken. And this does not include the dude that offered me a CBGBs T shirt to sleep with him at a hotel. No, he said he was not into dudes, he just wanted to help me out of the torrential rains in Albuquerque one night. True story. No, I did not earn a CBGBs T-shirt.
