My recollection from having been on it once and driven part of it is 
that California state route 49 between Mariposa and Coulterville is 
the crookedest road in the country.  Even after they straightened it, 
so we were told.  Not for the faint of heart.  Of course, we did it 
in a borrowed Ford LTD wagon loaded with music gear and four people.

Speaking of adding time, don't forget that when you go from the west 
coast to the east it takes three hours longer than you might 
calculate.  I guess it must be the prevailing winds or something 
because it takes so much less time going the other way.
