Reno, NV over to I-5 north
Soon I will be going to Oregon, entering via I-5 northbound. I know that the wildfire situation can change every day. I just want to be prepared with alternate route choices in case any roads are clos...

Thank you so much for all the wonderful replies! We go to the Oregon Coast annually, but planning the route is getting trickier each year. We like to drive up western NV mainly to avoid as much of CA gas prices as possible! We could always just go I-40/58/I-5. If we go the Reno route, I just thought driving down I-80 to Sac was backtracking, so wanted to know about the other routes. But it sounds like I don't want to drive 20 from Reno to Yuba City. I may end up driving 20 from I-5 to 101, but I'm planning to come back that way to show more of the coast to a relative who is joining us on the return home.
What about Hwy 36 west from Susanville. Anyone know how that route is for a motorhome towing? Last time we went this way, Hwy 44 from Susanville had just reopened a day before we got there.
CA Traveler...I remember hearing about that fire. What an awful experience! I can imagine how conditioned you are now to think about that.
MarkTwain...I didn't know people still use CBs. We have a portable one. I'll have to hook it up and see if it still works.
I'll be checking all the fire and road condition websites. Thanks again!
But a Cobra or Midland CB and a 5ft. Wilson antenna with a magnet base so you can place it on the top of your Cab in the center. Portable CB's generally do not have the ability to talk with others in the 1 mile range because of it's antenna. $150 will get you all set up. Go to a CB shop so they can adjust the antenna to get maximum distance for good contact with others.
