ok i always take the 5 fwy...how boring. i haven't taken the 101 fwy up yet so i'll pass since it's an extra 2 hours and gas prices are up there.

i want to experience something a lil different this time and maybe something a lil fun. i was told that the 152 thru gilroy is nice. so i would take the 5N to 152W to the 101 then the 580..correct? i'm going to walnut creek.

anyone experience the 152? if so..how's the drive? is it longer, if so how long? and should i be prepared to fill up before i get on the 152 or are available gas stations o nthat hwy? i always have to stop once but i don't remeber if i have to stop before or after the 152. inputs please..thanks.

oh and most important..what's the CHP status?

 

152? i havent been that way in almost 10 years..... be sure to stop by the Casa De Fruta :rotfl:


after driving up 5, i would just wanna take the short way man

 

Yeah, I honestly would just go 5 to 580 and get home.

I live in SJ so I take 101 to 152 to 5. The 152 is ok if its at night, otherwise there will be slow go-ers and its not much fun and wont be worth going out of your way. It smells like garlic too (gilroy)

 

for walnut creek, wouldn't you just take 680 from 101?

so, 5N, 152W, 101N, 680N and that should take you there?

like ucbsti said, 152 is ok when there's no traffic. a part of it is one lane traffic, so if you're stuck behind a slow car/truck, you're stuck behind that car.

casa de fruta has a chevron. there are a few other places that have gas stations along that road.

 

yeah you prob wanna take 680 from 101

 

sorry i got my 80s mixed up. you guys sure love the 80s up there..lol. i do plan going up there at night but i'm not down with one lane traffic.

i guess i'll have to stick to the 5. wish i knew of some cool roads in the bay to make up for the 5fwy's bordem.

 

ask jeremy, I think they made some spiffy route when going down for RIM

 

theres a road that comes off of 5, that goes west and runs parallel to 580/205. cant remember the name, but tis full of twists. it starts somewhere in patterson

 

yeah take the 25 all the way up to gilroy, its about 100miles worth of twisties, and pretty damn deserted

 

Dont forget to take a **** at Los Banos

 

the 25 goes right into the 152
