What are these roads like for a 20' PW and how available is gas forth those routes. Nosotros are staying in Winnemucca, NV and driving to Medford, Oregon. Is that possible in one twenty-four hour period or should we programme on two days? Thank you in accelerate of any advice. * This post was edited 03/16/fifteen 09:31am by bee_46 *

| Nosotros were merely discussing these roads, at least the Klamath Falls to Ashland segment. The consensus is that 140 is easier driving. 140 starting in Nevada gets into very remote territory, then watch your gas. Make full up where yous tin can. There is a grade simply of the border in Oregon where the highway drops downward a Rim. |

140 is the But way. 66 from Klamath Falls to Ashland is very, very windy. Gas is no trouble as long every bit you scout information technology. It's 380 miles of two lane road, some of it non very fast. So one twenty-four hour period or 2 is upwards to you. It will probably be shut to 8 hours. I recall yous mean Winnemucca, NV, don't y'all? Don't know about Utah. We lived in Klamath Falls for 40 years so know the roads well.

| Elevation off gas in Winnemucca, NV then once more in Lake View or K-Falls Oregon. Have never taken 140 from Winnemucca, have they routed you on 95 north to 140 w? That road is chosen Winnemucca to the Bounding main. Dick |

| dicknellen - Yes, they accept routed us on 95 from Winnemucca to 140. With the information provided hither nosotros have opted to take 2 days to make the trip and will take 140 all the fashion across and skip 66. Information technology is just a little longer just may end upward a little faster. |

| Earl E noted that 66 is windy. NV 140 tin too be windy. Here is a brochure on the Winnemucca to the Sea Highway. One tin make the trip in a day. However, if you desire to stay overnight, there are a couple of interesting options in NV. The Sheldon National Wildlife Refuge (link with info) is right off the road. There is primitive Virgin Valley CG with a warm 92 degree swimming to swim in! Also water, primitive showers, and pit toilets. Nosotros've driven by but never stopped, but from the description, information technology might be an interesting if not stark place to visit. Establish this video online that shows the CG, shower firm, and pond. A little farther off the road from the road and across Virgin Valley CG at that place is the Purple Peacock Opal Mine and RV Park. They do have hookups and the take a chance to await for opals. Again, never been there so tin't annotate on what you get for your $.

| 4runnerguy - Thanks for the interesting article on the Winnemucca to the Bounding main Highway. Gave me some ideas of what the road is like and what we might see along the way. I looked at the opal mine thinking it might be a nice place to stop, but information technology is a fiddling as well rich for my blood. Cheapest mining is $75 a person up to $190. Also much coin for a perchance. |

| A little Southward of Lakeview on highway 395 about at the CA/OR land line there is a dainty Oregon State Park that is used by a lot of overnighters, ordinarily don't need reservations. I think it is Goose Lake Oregon State Park. We stopped there in 2011 when we had our 20' Prisoner of war. Dick |
