I used to live in Ventura and traveled the 126 on a regular basis to Saugus. I thought that was a death-trap to end all. Now living in Saugus, seeing that stretch of the 14 from Agua Dulce down to Newhall has them all beat. The centrifugal force you gain while coming south down hill on the curves is lethal.
