I've made this run before and yeah - midday traffic up the 14 is really light and, despite going uphill the whole way, you can get one hell of a turn of speed going.

What's especially fun is that the 14 goes right by Vasquez Rocks which you should recognize from such things as The A Team, Army of Darkness, and Star Trek: Gorn Fight

Really excellent story - greatly enjoyed it - but then, I do love me the shenanigans surrounding test flights of all sorts.

In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea
