I remember sixty five years ago when 71 was a two lane road through the mountains. A boring drive for a kid as all you could see were two walls of trees,trees,trees. You could not see the forest for the trees.
Now 49 is a great drive.
Me too. I enjoyed seeing the scenery because we didn't get out much. I drove over some of it last year to Artist Point. We used to stop there when i was a kid.
