Wait til you get into the LA county! You may want to reconsider that statement

This is when I videotaped my car going 115mph, on the CA-101 somewhere around Pismo Beach and Morro Bay (same as my signature):

I thought those rolling hills looked familiar. I used to hang out at San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara a while back....my favorite part of CA.

Heading back to Nevada, I'd take Highway 101 to near Paso Robles, cut east and hit I-5 north til it meets I-80 and then head east to Reno or Fallon NV.

Once in a while I'd head to Bakersfield and make the run to Fallon from the south. But the mountain passes are very tricky at night with several spots where I can fall 1-2 thousand feet. I-5/I-80 are much better with the car on cruise control.

Add: I made the Bakersfield-Fallon run twice. Both times, I can literally smell the brakes fading...... The mountain drive was exhilarating during the day and terrifying at night, at least at the speeds I was going.

Near the end of the straightway there's a 3-fold curve: banked left, banked right, banked left, and then straight for another few hundred feet and then another set of curves. Boy! I love taking those curves at speed! The car just felt planted to the pavement. This is probably the ONLY time I'd wish there's a U turn slot!

San Luis Obispo is still further north from the pic taken. In fact that was taken by my friend in another car behind me. During the morning drive that same day, there was a blanket of fog across the hilltops a few miles from Redondo Beach. Eto naman ako nagbukas ng foglamps

but when the fresh outside air came in the AC vents, wow, it just felt so good to drive at speed with the cold, fresh air coming through the car's AC vents and not worrying about a single thing...for a moment.

If San Luis Obispo is still farther north, then you must be somewhere just south of Pt. Mugu, near LA. Yup, that stretch of CA up to Monterrey is my absolute favorite part of the state (with the possible exception of La Jolla/San Diego). The water's kind of cold for surfing. But, it's still a beautiful area. I think I know the stretch you're talking about. There's also a long climbing stretch before you get to the LA Basin proper. By that stretch though, it's LA and people are whizzing by like we're standing still (and we're doing 75mph).

We used to take that scenic route of 101 on the way to the Philippine Embassy at Wilshire Blvd, then head on south to La Jolla.
