Any reason for staying in the country?

Drive up and down Highway 101 and you are pretty much done. (I've been all over the west coast)

We can meet up when you come to Seattle (gmail kirubakaran)

Yeah, I5 south of Redding is boring, and so is Sacramento for that matter. Take 101/1 south - leave I5 in Grants Pass and go the inland coast route. It's a beautiful, if slower drive.

But if you're going to do that in the winter, make sure you take the right road.

It's pretty easy to stick with 199 through Grants Pass, and in reality, the coast route is probably less likely to get snow than I5, which has a number of reasonably high passes near the Oregon border. The road those guys took was just asking for trouble at that time of year:-/

Damn that sucks. I was expecting to read a Donner party-like situation but this was 2006!

Staying in the country = alpha version of Sam traveling. Spain / Thailand / Australia = beta version :)
