About seven miles after passing through Humptulips, a sign announces YOUMANS ROAD with an arrow pointing left.
Choices 1 and 2. 2.Take YOUMANS ROAD to get out of fast traffic. At the next junction you can choose to turn left at the Hoquiam-Wishkah Road or continue straight on the East Hoquiam Road. Weekdays, you'll probably see large logging trucks on the Wishkah Road--I have never seen one on the East Hoquiam Road any day of the week, but it is very roughly surfaced--it's horrible.
Idiot drivers and/or their passengers have screamed and honked at me on the Wishkah Road, but never on the East Hoquiam Road.
Choice 3. Keep going on US 101. The shoulder is wide enough for a car to park and is very smooth during riding season. Traffic depends on the season, day of the week and the time of day.
