So many plusses- Rolling hills, sweeping turns on the first and last legs, separated by great mountain driving in the middle. Lots of traffic on weekends, but midday on weekdays is pretty doable.

Say Hi to my dad at Miner's Diner in Julian!
A friendly suggestion: How about including the STATE in the description. Not everyone is familiar with town names (or the route numbers) alone.
