Lots of stops, picnicking, playtime. Most of the stretch features dry smooth pavement still closed to cars,

Smile, and then a 40mph roll back to the valley.
Gorgeous. You are too lucky, what a beautiful place to live. Should I ask why there were no cars on the freeway?

Anyhow, that ride looks beautiful. And to spend it with family on top of that... what a blessing!
