Grampa, we will be heading up the I-5 from the Central Coast two weeks from today (family wedding in Vancouver, WA). We always stay in beautiful Grants Pass, about 10 hours north of us, on the way up, then it's only about 5 hours to Vancouver.
We're already considering the possibility of having to head coastward to the 101 if we have to, and maybe staying over in Gold Beach. What would be the best route for us from the I-5 to the 101 (either through Northern California or after we cross the border into Oregon)?
