Will be traveling from Gold Beach Oregon to I-5 south
35' class A no tow.
Have heard 101 south and take 199 north back to oregon to I-5 also,
go north on 101 up to coos bay and take 42 over to I-5
Looking for the fastest easiest drive will be heading south on I-5 down to Redding then Chico Calif.
tks for input

I would take 101 South to 197 which meets 199 and West to the 5--
Makes no sense to go 80 miles North to Coos Bay--
You will have to loop back North a bit but the alternative (299 West)
is a real grind. Nothing really wrong with it-- Just seems to take an eternity.
If you are headed farther South, Sacramento or below, then the best route is 101 South to 20 and then West to the 5 at Williams.

I agree with what Electronpusher said.
I want to leave this earth quietly in my sleep like my grandfather and not like the hysterical, screaming passengers riding in granddad's RV just before the big crash.

If you are going anytime soon be careful because of all the fires in NO.CA.

I second 101 to 20 to 5. If you take 199 to 5 you'll have the Siskiyou mountains to cross; summit is 4310'. 101 is basically flat with a few hills (compared to mountains) to go over. Driving speed is slower on 101 than 5 but, in my opinion, an easier drive and not that much slower. 101 is a much prettier and cooler drive than 5 in Northern California.
