Thanks in advance, Cara

Yes, there are lots of services in the area.  In addition to little corner stores there are real towns like Hoquiam, Aberdeen, Raymond. The northern part of the area, from Forks to Hoquiam, does not have major towns, but I rode it in 2004 and we were able to resupply with minimart type stores.  I have ridden all of this area and did not lack for places to get food/drink, etc.  There may be a stretch of 40 or so miles w/o services, but that's easily prepared  for.  BTW, it is a great riding area if you hit the weather right. I would prefer the loop out through Grayland on 105 rather than staying on 101. Enjoy!

I will second what Johnsondasw has noted. Rode this area in 2009, on many of the same routes. Easy to restock near Lake Quinault (between Forks and Hoquiam). Definitely take in the Grayland loop.
