This road drops you down into Soquel (Soquel rd/Porter). If you keep going straight(turns into Porter), You'll hit HWY 1. You pass all traffic and have fun on the twisties. You can also get off on Bear Creek rd and make a right to go over 17 to the reservoir side. That frontage road (Old Santa Cruz HWY) takes you all the way to Summit Rd. While on Old Santa Cruz you'll want to make sure you stay to your right. When you hit Summit ,just take a left and continue until you reach Soquel-San Jose. This is a nice little drive with little traffic.

I've lived my whole life (pretty much) in the bay area...
Last time I stopped there was when the wife and I were house hunting before we bought in Woodside. Looked at a nice 10 acre spread there with two houses on it, but it's a bit of a drive for my wife (she works at Stanford Hospital).
But I've beaten the crap out of pretty much every one of my parents cars up in the hills from 92 south... Now I'm older and beat the crap out of my cars in the hills.
Also almost bought a place on the whosists cut-off between 17 and Scotts Valley....
As you can tell, the grey matter is leaking...
