Well, the Cuesta Grade/101 route is more direct and with the newly
constructed road bed and truck lane, not so bad if you use your lower
gears. The Hwy 41 route is a gorgeous drive and I've used that "long
cut" myself with my old Bubble. It's a few miles longer but sooo
pretty. Gwyn would then get into San Luis Obispo, Hwy 101 intersect via
Hwy 1 and get to see Morro Bay and Morro Rock. Good thinking there
Susan, I'd actually forgotten about that cute little driving trick!
