If you have access to the Canadian version of Triple A, you can customize the trip by using their free Trip Tik. They send you a complete flip over booklet that has each segment mapped, and it's got enough mapping of side terrain that you can usually finagle most changes. They also include full on maps of the areas. We just got ours for a trip we are taking to the East Coast in Sept.(air and caging) and it really a slick deal. The Trip Tik would be small enough to keep in a tank bag or other handy spot. Almost worth the cost membership alone, as they do all the work.
That stretch from Larry's to Eugene (my original home) on I-5 is a very hard and somewhat boring stretch, aside from the Siskyou *sp* mountain pass. It is kind of treacherous at times too. It ate me alive on my trip back from picking up G-Loria from Larry's when I bought her. But it is interstate, and it covers a lot of distance pretty quick. I don't know if the California coastline might make a better choice, if nothing but for the scenery.
One word of caution on the coastal routes you do have planned.....they are highly traveled and crowded during that time of year, especially with motor homes and such.
