Maybe. You might find that you like Old > County (and the other names for that road) and Middlefield Road > better. That was usually the route I took when I lived in San > Mateo. That's what I did when I lived in San Mateo as well. That was one of my excursions to go to Palo Alto. I would take Old Country Rd (back then I could cut through the Bay Meadows (RIP) parking lot and connect with OCR at the exit. It ends at Redwood City and at that point I would transverse the railroad tracks and finish up by using ECR. I never tried using Middlefield though, sounds like that would be a better option then my cutting over to El Camino. -- __ (oO) www.cosmoslair.com /||\ Cthulhu Saves!!!
