Sure; I just picked it randomly as one of a number of childhood stops we made. We usually broke up our Seattle <-> Fresno drive into 12 hour and 6 hour segments, one each day.

Going south, we'd usually stay in Red Bluff of Redding; going north, Grant's Pass or Roseburg. And, regardless of need for accommodation for the night, these towns (and many others, but these are the largest I remember) offered ample fuel and fast food options.
