Next time I sojourn north to the N.Cascades I may detour from I-5 over to the 101 north of S.F., take I-580 and then waypoint Santa Rosa, CA to let the GPS direct the route. That will take me up the NOCAL and Oregon coast. If so, I'll plan the trip to stay the night in one of those coastal towns, but after Labor Day. I'll probably wait until the weather starts to get ugly.
