yes
There are three in the lower 48, going from north to south they are Washington, Oregon and California. But you may also include Alaska since it borders the Pacific Ocean . . . and then there is Hawaii, which is "in" the Pacific Ocean.
A ball park figure is about 140 miles. Certainly U.S. Highway 5 is not a straight route, but it is the most direct way to get from point A to point B if you're starting in central California near its northern border and going to Eugene, Oregon. What is being so clumsily being said here is that the highway mileage is a bit more than that.
Yes all roads going in to Canada have a checkpoint.
Oregon because it is directly south of the state of Washington.
The answer depends on which direction you are coming from, and what part of California you are going to. There are several states that border California. These include the following: Arizona, Nevada, and Oregon. If you are coming from Texas, for instance, then you will come through New Mexico and Arizona before you get to California. If you are coming from Washington State, you will go through Oregon first. If you are coming from Colorado you could choose to go through New Mexico and Arizona to get to Southern California, or Utah and Nevada to get to Northern California. (California also borders Mexico if you are coming up from South America.)
It depends on where you are in California and where you're going in Arizona. But as they share a border, it can be as short as a step: you're in California, then--one step later--you're in Arizona. Also, if you are going from TUCSON to Orange County, it would be about, 491 miles.
441 miles, about 6 in a half hours going 70 miles an hour!
It was used by many settlers as they moved west.
Sorry no. The state of California does not care where you live normally. if you buy it here you pay state sales tax.
The only thing we can say with absolute certainty is that one of them is going to be Michigan OR Indiana OR Kentucky OR West Virginia OR Pennsylvania. We can be pretty sure (but not positive) that another one will be Nevada OR Oregon OR Arizona, though since California shares a border with Mexico you could potentially come in that way (in which case you'll almost certainly go through Texas).The routes that make the most sense involve I-80 (if you're going to Northern California) or I-70/I-15 or I-70/I-44/I-40 (if you're going to Southern California), but you're free to choose almost any route you like. You can go through Mexico and come back into the US in California if you want, or you could head up to Canada, drive most of the east/west distance there, then come through Washington and Oregon to get to California. It's really up to you.
The California Gold Rush, Mormon Pioneers, and Oregon Trail were three major movements in the Westward Expansion. They all involved large groups of people traveling to the west in search of a better life.
The important thing was that 500,000 went from the Midwest to Oregon. Some of them went on from there to Washington or California. These people wanted to settle down and farm in an area with good land and good weather.
