I am the OP. Thanks for all the suggestions.
I live in Dixon CA, west of Sacramento. I have driven the Interstate 80/395 route through Reno to Bridgeport. The one-way distance to the campground near Bridgeport is 282 miles and close to 6 driving hours (for me).
I was hoping there was a faster/shorter route available -- but not if the road hazards and stress level are significantly higher than the Interstate 80 route.
