another couple of roads which i bet you would all LOVE are Empire Grade to Bonny Doon Road which takes you down to HWY 1 on the coast..
and there is also an option to take Empire Grade to Ice Cream Grade which then leads down to HWY 9 or HWY 17 depending on which route you take..
they are both great mountain roads..and ZERO cops..unlike the camero patrol on HWY 9..
