East to Coos Bay

We will be at the Sawtooths for 3-4 days and then down near Boise ID. We need to be at Coos Bay by mid September. What route do you Oregonians recomend? Are the north Cali fires making 20 problematic? Should be take I84 up then down 101?

Asked some folks here in this cg from OR and they recommended 395 which makes no sense since it goes N-S. We are in no big hurry should have 10 days or so to cross the state and we like to boondock.

Go across to Bend on US 20.  Then go south on US 97 to just south of La Pine and turn west on  Oregon 58 to Eugene.  We think that's the easiest way across, but others take US 20 out of Bend to Oregon 126 and then into Eugene.   From Eugene take Oregon 126 to US 101 and then head south.  Another way is to take I-5 south from Eugene to Drain, then Oregon 38 to Reedsport on the 101 and head south.  The road from Drain to Reedsport has twists but no huge climbs or decents, but it is slow.

Heh, we are members of the Escapees and their BOF the Boomers is having a week long event at a park in Coos Bay. Crabbing and Claming, neither of which we have ever done. It's called the Craborang. Starts 9/16 or 17. Right now we are in Arco ID heading for Stanley/Sawtooths in the morning for 4 or 5 days of boondocking. We just finished 6 days of boondocking outside YNP.
