Pacific Northwest Backroad Adventures

Organized by the Pacific Northwest Four Wheel Drive Association, Operation Shore Patrol is an annual cleanup of Washington’s southern coast, scheduled for the weekend of September 20-21, 2008. The goal of Operation Shore Patrol is to focus attention on litter accumulated from water and land sources on Washington’s ocean beaches.

Litter poses a threat to people, fish, and wildlife and creates an unsightly environment. Operation Shore Patrol is a major step in helping to rid Washington’s coastline of litter and debris.

Don’t miss out on this great opportunity to make a meaningful difference, get great exercise, and make new friends. Contact the coordinator for your favorite area below.

Here is a short trip report with photos from expeditionportal of a recent trip from Salt Lake City, through Susanville, to the Northern California and Oregon coast and finally through Pendleton and back home. (I’ll count Nor Cal as Pacific Northwest for our purposes).
