Hi there,

We'll be driving straight through from essentially the bay area to Portland (easier to just get it over with in one shot, traveling with four pets). Are there websites where I can input my route and it would show me rest stops and other clean places to stop every couple of hours? Thanks for any advice.

Are you an Auto Club member? If so, you can pick up California and Oregon maps for free, and those usually show the rest stops.

I have driven that route many times. If you stay on I-5 there are regular rest stops about every hour. You don't need a map. Err on the side of caution and stop at each one. Names of restuarants and other facilities are on signs just before the off ramps.

Just thought of something the Weed Airport rest stop is another good one to walk dogs and the rest stop at Valley of the Rogue state park..You can really get out and walk ..We have stopped at most of them over the years and no real problems...
