More than ten hour drive condensed to a two hour video.

Agenda:
Interstate 680 North: 2:36 - 8:23
Interstate 580 East: 8:25 - 12:23
Highway Interstate 5 South: 12:30 - 24:05
State Route 33 South: 24:15 - 25:55 (Stopped for lunch.)
State Route 152 West: 26:00 - 33:23
Highway G7 - Bloomfield Avenue: 33:25 - 34:40
State Route 25 North: 34:45 - 35:00
US Route 101 South: 35:20 - 50:00
Highway G14 - Jolon Road: 50:03 - 54:35
Mission Road: 54:35 - 55:50
Nacimiento-Fergusson Road: 55:51 - 58:25

Note: Nacimiento-Fergusson Road connects with Monterey Co Route 4004 and US Highway Forest Route 22S01, if not the same route already, connects with California State Route 1. These routes pass through Los Padres National Forest, if I remember correctly.

The timestamps in crossing the narrow, twisty forest roads are:
58:25 - 1:08:27

California State Route 1: 1:08:27 - 1:38:28
California State Route 17: 1:38:39 - 1:44:50
Interstate 880 North: 1:44:51 - 1:45:44
US Route 101 South: 1:45:53 - 1:46:15

After that, I pull onto a ramp to a gas station, probably the cheapest in the Bay Area as of 3/25/18. Refueled at a price of $3.09/gallon, a total of 12.3 gallons, equivalent to 32.5MPG in a 2014.5 Toyota Camry SE. That means I've only used a little more than two-thirds of a tank. Full tank is 17.3 gallons.

Sorry for the bad lighting in the last thirty minutes of the video. Was sightseeing along the way and stopped at some scenic places.
