I would try going from SF to Lake Tahoe, then down 395 on the eastern side of the Sierra's toward/thru Death Valley and Las Vegas (You do know Las Vegas is "closed", Casinos are shuttered at this time.)
Then you can head toward LA. Then drive back up the coast on Hwy 1 back to SF
Bakersfield? skip it....
Nevermind, just saw this is a 3 year old post...
