This is a great run - wife and I drove it in the MX-5 a few years back. And yes, be careful of speed traps. I think that's how the towns make money up there.

We took a picnic lunch and a cooler just to be sure we would be able to eat. Might be an idea for this run if you wanted to stop and eat along the way.

I remember my Mom and Dad talked about their taking over towns and tearing down houses to flood this area for the reservoir. Quite controversial back then, especially for many who lost their homes. For anyone interested there is a little history here:

They did something similar to the exisiting towns and residents for Candlewood Lake in CT
