I agree. I also looked at yelp. Short of going all the way over the hill to Scottvalley or Santa Cruz, not much in between. Lets do Alices since I don't want to drive the freeways either. We could always take another way back when we leave?????? The road into Boulder Creek from the four corners is nice as is Bear creek back to 17!
