Totally unreasonable and irresponsible urge

Every year at this time I have a totally unreasonable and irresponsible urge to go home and give some money to the government. Each year we try and take a different route. This year we thought we would head up CA395 all the way into Oregon and head off on OR 31 at Valley Falls to Bend and then 20 to the coast.

I'm pulling a 29ft 5'er.

Has anyone done this route? Any advice?

Thanks in advance

    Well, you can give money to the government, but it will probably go to some 3rd world country to fix THEIR roads!

    O.P.'s a Canadian- I think they pay in loonies and have to be home when the Mounties come around on horseback to collect.

    That sucks. Here in the US we can do that from anywhere, online.

    If you wait until hwy 20 to hit the Oregon coast, you'll have missed the best part of the coast drive. North of Tillamook, very little of 101 is oceanfront, and almost NONE of 101 is on the water in Washington.

    If you're wanting to go to Bend in any case: In my opinion, the route north to Canada on the east side of the Cascades is much more interesting, especially if you're interested in geology etc.
