I think theres nothing to do BUT fly from Norway Per... a shame though... a slow cruise liner, dinners with the captain, a murder or two, icebergs...

But internally.. couldn't agree more!

Well I dunno about no public transport... Is it really true?

A few years ago I had a passport screw-up and had to get a different flight than planned, my pickup folks had gone, not knowing what happened to me, and I just caught a totally great bus from LAX to Santa Barbara. I just HOPED there would be some public transport...and there was!
But I agree driving down from Seattle/portland (taking the coast road) can take a few days, but its a wonderful trip!

Blueberry Pie!

Mmm

Well, I'm definitely in for sharing my part of a temporary car
transport solution. A big reason for not flying is that this NW part
is know for being incredibly beautiful and you miss out on all that by
flying. Mmm... I can't way to have blueberry pie at the nearest
roadhouse - like in Twin Peaks - or munch some junk food like the bros
in Supernatural... You don't get that view from a craft ;-)  And
possible minor gigs on the way is also an option when driving.

>> Whats up with public transport in the US, are there no trains/busses?

He, he... for a Scandinavian or Brit it is indeed weird that you just
can't walk up to bus stop and take a bus anywhere. But I guess the
land is just too wide and tax payers too badly motivated for a decent
community based transportation system to ever emerge in the US. ;-)
