2. I've never been on 48, it turns into a forest service road eventually, so I would contact Yreka forest service.

That being said, I've been on 96 (which you'll be on for a while after leaving Yreka and eventually ties into 299), 299 at Redding and 36 at Red Bluff, which both leave 5 and go west and east. Currently 36 west is closed because of land slide but has routing around. Thirty six is major pot country, northern part of the Emerald Triangle. 299 is by far the best and quickest route (which i believe your trying to stay away from).
If it's any help, I just moved to a small hamlet half way between 299 and Yreka on hwy 3, in the middle of the Trinity Alps, I've got plenty of room, especially for a Beatle lover!
