I've done this from Willows up 162 to 306 and it is a very pleasant, almost no traffic rural road meandering thru the foothills w/ pleasant scenery. The road is fairly fast until it doubles back and down thru Lodoga where the pavement quality goes down a bit as you come down the hill into Maxwell on I-5. Highly recommended ;o)

The road was very rough. There were too many pot holes and dips to carry any amount of speed, too bad bc the curves would otherwise be fun. I would recommend finding a different route to enjoy the day on.
