I like V's idea of Weed. It's not as far as Dunsmuir, but the time we'll save in not repacking is worth staying the same place 2 nights running. Plus, if we want a group rental like a cabin, a 2 night stay is probably easier to arrange. Less work to make the reservations, make sure nobody gets lost finding the place, blah-blah-blah. Plus, 2 nights in one strange bed is less lost sleep that 2 nights in 2 strange beds. Weed is on the more open stretch of freeway past Dunsmuir so our speed can pick up again. Also, Yreka as NO group rentals. It would have to be motels.
