Most of the AVA members are in the mid-west or on the right coast.

You probably know about sites like https://www.bunkabiker.org/. I don't have any experience with them, but I might give it a go on my next trip. They're more oriented to helping strangers meet.

Other forums have more active travel threads, especially https://www.advrider.com. I'm sure they have more threads about your planned route than you even want to read, with suggestions well beyond accommodations. There are a lot of camping options, especially along the inland routes you mentioned; but it sounds like you aren't bringing camping gear. (In the day, I camped all along the PCH, but now it's way too traveled. Beautiful just the same.)

Sorry, can't help beyond that. Even though one day I might buzz up your way on that obligatory right-of-passage trip to Alaska.
