Sacto area to Pismo
Went there before and took the 5 to 152 then 101. Was wondering if it's any better staying on 5 to 41 to SLO then Pismo? Thx.

A friend does this route all the time. She hits 101 much further up and avoids all the hills (but she gets a toll). With her rig the lack of hills is her preferred route. It does make for an easy but rather boring drive
The 101 elevations/grades into Pismo are almost the same as 46. But 101 is 4 lane or perhaps she has alternate routes.
5 is boring for us but 101 is an good option especially with side trips to the coast.
If you make side stops, then yes it wouldn't be as boring. Going straight through it was just a big highway. :)
As for the hills, I don't think she's done 46, but I think she prefers 101 for the ability to not impede traffic, pull over over, etc., if she drives slower.
