We go from Morro Bay to Three Rivers (east of Visalia) a couple times a year. 41 from MB to 101 in Atascadero, then 101 north to 46 in Paso Robles, 46 east to 41 north, then 198 to Visalia. Nothing scary along the route. Only concern is if you are returning the same route, the left turn from 198 to 41 can be a wait for traffic to clear on 41. There is a stop sign for 198 traffic to cross the north bound lane and another stop sign in the center divider before entering the south bound traffic. No stop signs for 41 traffic in either direction. I solved the problem by taking 41 north about 1/2 mile to the next exit, crossing under 41 and getting back on south bound.
