- donn0128Explorer IIWhat time of year? Now, with the weather in the Sierras anything but main roads could become a problem.

Good point...March 19. - donn0128Explorer IIYou might consider 395 north connect with 31 NW out of Lakeview, 97 to Bend and 22 to the coast.
- Nutinelse2doExplorerTypically, we leave Laughlin mid March to start heading North into Oregon, via Sparks, but it's going to be delayed a couple weeks this year due to the weather. It's pretty nasty up there still.
We usually take 38 or 126 to the Coast after N on 395 to Alturas, to Klamath Falls, then 97 to 138.
Probably not gonna tackle it till maybe first week of April, or end of March this year.
If you are leaving that early, might be safer to take 5 up.
Safe travels - cannesdoExplorerNow I'm thinking Reno to Klamath Falls to Ashland. Heading to Florence and there's road that branches up to Reedsport at Roseburg.
- cannesdoExplorerIt's 100 miles more to take the interstate. Allowing for speed the trip time is about the same.
- korbeExplorerAnother storm coming. 395, 36, 44, 89 to I-5 may get some MORE snow.
- Us_out_WestExplorerWe will be heading from our winter home in Eloy, AZ to our home base in Reno early April with a week stop in Pahrump.
Although boring we take 95N to 50/117 to ALT 50 to the 80W to Reno.
We like the Coos Bay/Charleston area and here's how we get there;
Leave Reno on 395N to CA-44W to 89 to the 5N near Shasta. Then the 5N to 99 (Exit 113 toward Round Praire) to 42W to the 101. From there the 101N will take you up tp Florence and beyond. Gorgeous drive along the Pacific coast most times unless a little bit inland.
We have a couple of Reports in our Trip Journal (in Signature) going up the Oregon coast one in May 2013 starting in Reno to Trinidad, CA then up the Pacific coast from OR into WA then East and another from Reno to the OR coast in May 2015.
All good roads to travel. - jmtandemExplorer II
Looks like north from here would be quite a bit shorter...but no interstate. Cut through Old Station after Reno? Connect up with I-5 at Shasta?
Yup, been there done that many times. Good ride, good roads, and light traffic. - jmtandemExplorer IIduplicate
