I'm driving from Reno to Portland Oregon and want the fastest route. Anybody with experience / information / suggestions would be great. Here is what Google Maps routes:

3.
Take the ramp onto I-80 E
4.
Take exit 15 to merge onto US-395 N toward Susanville
5.
Continue onto CA-36 W
6.
Turn right onto CA-139 N/Ash St
Continue to follow CA-139 N
7.
Turn left to stay on CA-139 N

You're missing a few steps there. But cutting across from Eugene to 97, and then through Klamath Falls is the quickest route.

You could stay on I-5 to Mt. Shasta and possibly gain some time due to the higher speed limit, then cut across on 89. Although Google Maps says it'll be another 30 minutes (with traffic)

Thanks for the reply. Yea I did skip a few steps in the beginning and end to save space.

395 to 97 to 138 (Chemult to Eugene, pretty much) to I-5. Simple and fastest.
