Rte 44 in North California

299 between Redding and the coast is a good road, but as mentioned it in windy. It's been a while since I've been on it, and I've only done it in the car, but I recall looking at the map and thinking it looked like about a 90 minute drive. I don't recall exactly how long it ended up taking, but it was pushing five hours, but that was with a few stops to enjoy the scenery and the river.
