Hwy 5 east to Susanville & south to Reno.

[Tigre10]

We are a Class A gas, pulling a toad & planning to go the beginning of Sept. from Hwy 5 east to Susanville & south to Reno. Thought of the 89, 44 & 36.

Anything we should be concerned with?

Return route after a visit to Utah Parks is again the 5 north to Stockton CA then the 12, 80 37 west, to 101 around Petaluma. Visit the Redwoods, & then heading north to Newport Oregon,crossing back on the 20 to the 5 North. Home for Halloween:B

Any suggestions on the route, issues, ideas?
Thanks

I just love how auto correct changes my spelling. It is Lassen auto correct. Now that word is in my tablet vocabulary.

We did the trip to Susanville in April and hit a lot of snow. No problem with that now. It is a pretty road and easy drive.

If it was me I would head north to Lincoln city from Newport and take 18 East making sure to use the bypass around McMinnville (and by the Spruce Goose). I would then turn south at Newberg and take the country road that hits I5 at Donald. This is a pretty road with little traffic. If you stay on 18 it turns into 99W into Portland which is a nightmare.

There was construction going on when we went from Susanville to Reno 3 weeks ago - like mentioned above, steep grade coming into susanvile.

Lots and LOTS of construction on 101. Took 20(West) to 101(North) and spent a fair amount of time sitting.... and dodging bicycles. But the scenery was nice 🙂

That's the way we went from Redding to Carson City a couple of years ago. There was some construction but that should have cleared by now and new ones popped up!:B

No problems except for the downhill into Susanville which is a little steep. Just be cautious and slow down everything is good.
