Road trip - SF to Portland

[mosp]

Any tips for a good route - San Fran to Portland (Or) over a 5 day period?

Trying to decide between sticking to the coast (route 101) or going by a more in-land route.

Cheers!

Really appreciate all the help - thank you!

Have some time in SF first and getting a train from Portland into Seattle for a few days afterwards - looking forward to the trip!
