Draft plan norcal to Oregon

[skynewbie]

For the trip with my dad he cannot handle too long so I am taking him to Oregon weather permitting before heading to New Mexico. Here is what I have so far to fly from the bay area to Oregon

About 10 days ago I flew from KHRV to 77S (Creswell, OR - near KEUG) and used this simple route:

KRHV O88 1O6 77S

No terrain over 6000 and no SUAs. I climbed to 6500 and stayed there till near Shasta, where I climbed to 8500. So other than during my departure from KRHV the route was entirely in Class E (and G). This is the actual track I recorded using CloudAhoy:

If the Dolphin MOA is not active then a transition via approach should make it fairly straight forward to avoiding airspace SUA issues as well as terrain.

The Dolphin MOA floors are at 11,000, so unless you intend to fly high they are of no concern. Only the Whitmore and Goose MOAs in the northeast part of California are at altitudes that would be of concern, but your route is not near them.
