The wife wants to try the California route. She really wants to avoid driving the Columbia gorge in winter. If we're gonna go the California route, she wants to visit Joshua Tree National Park and White Sands National Monument along the way. Any recommendations for a route that connects...

Thank you. We are planning to leave Portland on November 22, and I do need a spare tire. Between you, alpha tread, and Boyce equipment, it looks like there are more resources along that route...

Thank you...

I'm not worried about snow- I can do the math on that myself. What I want to avoid, is starting down some hill that ends up being much steeper, longer, and/or twistier than I anticipated.

I'd sure appreciate some input regarding my Cabbage Hill question too...

Thank you, Wes...

I'm reading that the Siskiyou Pass is not as dangerous going southbound as it would be if we were going the other direction. What about Cabbage Hill? Is it more dangerous in one direction than another? Our MTVR has only about 3,000 miles on it- the brake shoes look like new. And it will be...

Wow- good thing my wife's BMW will be on a trailer...

I think so. All the barbecue and Mexican places look great- I got a Gut Pack as soon as I hit town. The real estate agent took me all over. I wanted to stay away from DFW, Austin, and the area around Fort Hood, and I think we did okay.

At the other end, we're looking at taking the 10 to the 20 to the 6 into Waco- is that okay?

God bless you, man- that was going to be the subject of my next thread... :)

Is a detour to Joshua Tree National Park worth it?

Thank you so much, Wes... :)

It appears likely that we will be moving from Portland Oregon to Waco Texas on or shortly after November 20th. My wife would like to head down I-5 south into southern California and then cut across, to minimize our chances of snow, as opposed to heading out I-84 east through the Columbia Gorge...
