Vancouver, B.C. back to Folsom, CA avoiding smoke
We are in Vancouver, B.C. right now watching the horrible NorCal fires. The smoke where our home is, is hazardous right now. It's basically raining ash. My kids and I have asthma and we have been advised to stay away for now. Unfortunately the kids need to be back to school in 2 weeks.
Normally we'd just take I-5 all the way home. But with the hazardous smoke from all the fires, it's like running a smoke gauntlet.
So I'm thinking of taking a more easterly route. We'd basically stay a couple nights in Portland. Then we head southeast on 26 and 97 to Bend, OR.
From there we head south on 37 and 395 to Alturas, CA and end up in Reno, NV.
From Reno it's an easy shot over I-80 back home.
How's the drive on these roads. It couldn't be any tougher than going through the Northern Cascades of WA eh?
