today, we went up to beautiful vallejo, ca. really, it was purdy up there. i took photos from my aunts back porch. her 2 bedroom apt up there costs the same as some stuff fresno. craziness.
anyhow, i wanted to mention the route we took there and back. in all actuality, i went this route a few weeks back when i went to the raiders game, but since i wasn't driving i didn't actually pay attention to how long it took. it seemed fast, but i didn't know how fast. it took under 3 hours. and really, it should because it's only 188 miles.
the route: 99n to 120w (manteca)
120w to 5s, although you're only on 5 for like a mile
5s to 205w
205w to 580w
580w to 680n to 780w
and you're there.
i liked this route because it avoids the slowness of los banos. and it was hecka fast. if you're going to, say, oakland, you just stay on 580w.

i would guess it took us between 2.5-2.75 hours to get home.
I don't know. I took the Los Banos route a lot when I went to visit E and that was 187 miles. It was always between 2.5 and 3 hours.
well, if you ever have a chance to go to oakland again, give this route a chance. see if it's faster. or not.
The only problem with that route is you can't go that way during rush hours. The commuters that travel to the Bay create major congestion on the 205. Once they finish with widening, it will help greatly
