We drive 126 a couple times a year, its pretty smooth sailing, Hwy 569 aka Beltline takes you on the North side of Eugene to I-5, pretty easy even with traffic is busy. Hwy 38, south to Reedsport is a very nice drive too, I've never driven the Hwy 138 that goes south, I'd just head over to I-5. I used to run trips down Hwy 101 through the Redwoods on Hwy 199 then over to Crater Lake. Talk about a wonderful change of scenery from Coast to Redwoods to Crater Lake.
