I don’t think so. Seems I drove Pacheco Pass over to I-5 to LA to visit my sister. It’s been a long time but I think I drove 101 to Grants Pass, Oregon. About all I remember of that drive was it was dark, winding and seemed to take forever.
101 goes up the Oregon Coast and not through Grants Pass. I-5 goes through Grants Pass—it was something else before it was I-5, but it was never 101. I grew up about five miles off of 101 in Southern Oregon, and had family in Grants Pass and Medford.
Yes, Pacheco pass from Gilroy & Morgan Hill over to Los Banos ...
I remember that name now.
I just checked the map, and Casa de Fruta is there, albeit a lot larger than it was way back when.
Grants Pass —is— a long way ... 101 up to San Francisco, go over the Bay bridge to get to I-5 near Sacramento and then up that long winding part of I-5 past Mount Shasta, then through Medford ...
Whew, a looong way.
