At the end of June we're taking a trip from the Seattle area down into Southern California. We're going to the Redwoods, then Big Sur, down to Anaheim, up to Sequoia, then Yosemite, and ending at Shasta Lake before heading home. We're in a 34' Class A towing an MDX, so I wanted to see if anyone has routes advised and especially routes NOT advised. So far we were told for on our way down we should avoid highway 1 in the Ft Bragg area, and to stay on 101 until after San Francisco. We have also heard we should avoid 198 near Sequoia and take 99 to 63 to 180 instead. One part I'm looking for help on is where to cut over to I5 after Big Sur, heading to the LA area. Google maps says to take 1 and 101 all the way down. While that may be the shortest route, I'm guessing it's not the fastest with all the traffic going through all the towns. It looks like 46 is a fairly straight shot over, but I don't know what the terrain is like on any of these different roads/highways that cut over East. Any help from people who have been through any of the areas of our trip would be much appreciated!
