Just a word of caution. When I lived in Reno, the section of US 395 south of Susanville to the Nevada line was called Blood Alley because of the number of roadkill. I never had problems during daylight hours but be carefull if driving through this section at night or early morning. I think it is close to deer hunting season so animals may be on the move and crossing the highway. I remember that there was talk of putting in underpasses for deer crossing so this might not be an issue anymore.
