Driving from Sacramento Saturday morning, any rest tips??

[50sjayne]

hello,

driving a little past midnight Saturday morning from Sacramento. anyone have tips in case i get tired driving???

looking for "safe"rest stops or

if adrenaline kicks in, we might leave earlier Friday night, any "cheap"motels to catch a couple of hours of nap time.

willing to close our eyes at a rest stop, provided they are safe and all

taking the 5 straight down, this should be fine at this hour right?/?

Sorry this makes me laugh...We drive straight through from Eugene Oregon. Drive all night then walk through the gates at opening. And we are OLD.

If you are coming down the 99, stop at Bravo Farms Cheese Factory. Seriously, it is a really cool place to stop. They have great diner food, a separate ice cream and fancy coffee shop, gift shop, a wonderful place to rest outside with picnic tables, clean restrooms, and tons of stuff for kids to look at and do out. You can pet bunnies, climb in a 4 story treehouse, play pool.... If you are lucky you can watch them make cheese too. The location is south of Fresno, on the east side of the freeway. You should see signs telling about it before you get off. My son used to work there as the advertiser and designer of the cheese, that is why I know so much about it.
