Things appear to be changing daily!
My friend decided to pass on this trip; he will not be traveling with us.
So, it's my family only.
Having never traveled towing a trailer in Northern California, my questions may be repetitive or overly detailed, but I want to be sure to make the best decision possible for safety, places to stay on the way, enjoyable, etc.
I'm torn between taking the 101 (detour around SF/Bay) all the way up VS going the 5/20/101.
101 all the way up looks more scenic and appealing. I'm just concerned about traffic congestion when we reach SF/Bay area.
If taking 101, the 880 appears to connect to 580 near Emeryville and the 580 crosses over into San Rafael.
Is taking 101 to 580 to 101 (instead of 880) an option?
Again, the assistance by all who have contributed to this thread is greatly appreciated!
Thanks
