The International Dateline approximates the meridian of 180° longitude.
Since the line is more than 12,000 miles long and spans the entire range between
the north and south poles, you can start out from any point in California, and travel
in any direction, and eventually cross that line. You literally "can't miss it" ... there is
no way.
-- From the Oregon/California line, the shortest route to the 180° meridian is to
head out on a bearing of 314° ... roughly northwest. Travel straight ahead, and
you reach the 180° meridian after 2,619.3 miles, at 58° north latitude.
-- From the Mexico/California line, the shortest route to the 180° meridian is to
head out on a bearing of 317° ... also roughly northwest. Travel straight ahead,
and you reach the 180° meridian after 3,360.2 miles, at 54.5° north latitude.
