Current plan is to avoid I-5 as much as it makes sense to do so.
This means heading east on I-84 when approaching Portland. It would seem a good idea to avoid the Cabbage Hill between Pendleton and La Grande on I-84.
The goal is to eventually end up on USH95 somewhere between Oregon and Idaho.
At the moment, I am thinking that USH395 may be my best choice based on what I remember of the other routes; I'm probably wrong though.
Any recommendations?
That is the route I would take, except I would avoid Portland congestion completely by taking E. US-12 east over the Cascades from Tacoma. At that point hook up with E. I-82 in Yakima, E. I-84 in Hermiston and then make a decision: (1) either S. US-395/95 combo to L.V. or (2) S. I-84 all the way from Hermiston to L.V.
I have done option #1 to Reno and it is flat out mile hogging territory all the way to Winnemucca, NV.
“Lost Wages”, NV = very creative.
