Hey volks,

I just shedyuled a vacation for 3 to 10 May for me Vanagon's maiden voyage
to SoCal.  Thanks to Neil1, I got the kitchen sink to work!  Perhaps I'll
even drink this cult's kool-aid when we're back!

Question:  What are the pros/cons of I5 and 101 given my 1.6 diesel?  I'm
concerned about the ability to climb hills on the route.  I've not driven
btwn Grants Pass and SanFran on I5 so don't know of the terrain (hills).
Looked on Google Earth and that alley didn't look any worse than the one
between Portland and Grants Pass.

I plan to take my son/daughter (12/9) down I5, see MtShasta, Yosemite, Kings
Canyon and come back up 101.

And yes, I'll buy a package deal on the park pass/es to save cash.  Any and
all feedback will be greatly appreciated!
