Keep me in mind when you want to cook up an interesting drive. Hwy. 35 from Hwy. 9 going East to Bear Creek Road is also a good short twisty drive, but really dangerous for multiple cars going through the Christmas tree farm area with single-lane blind curves.

Page Mill is one of my favorite roads mainly because I have been on it hundreds of times. I drive on one of those roads practically everyday whether during the day or at night. If you like single-lane twisties, you should check Stage Rd. off of 84 near the coast. The best part about that road is that it's right at the coast so there's no trees or anything to block the view so no blind curves.
I actually don't really like HWY 9, I really think it's overrated. Too many cars commute on that road, plus there's always cops on that road. Also, I hate it when people say that they "race" on that road. It's like this one time, I went to a party with my buddies and this one dude shows up and says, "So, do you know anybody who wants to race my friend's S4? But keep in mind that he's pushing 800 HP to the wheels." I just pretty laughed, at the same time I was thinking; HP don't really mean anything on the hills, it's all about experience.
