the difference in times/distances is that the route 50 and 1 way will take
an extra day or 2 for sightseeing purpoises along HWY-1, and acclimating
to the realization that if your tire pops along HWY-1 southbound, you're
dead...
please tell me which route would you take if you had the chance to take
either route?
thanks in advance,
