Everyone always that comes to our area always thinks they have traveled into a different world from the hustle and bustle of the urban bay area.  They also think they have been driving forever due to the curvy roads.  When people time it they find out that it really isn't as far as they think.  For example if you live in the middle of San Mateo, after you dodge all the traffic and get to 92, and if there isn't any crashes or traffic jams on the freeway, you would get to Palo Alto in about the same time it would take you to get there from La Honda.  We have put together some drive times from some of the rural communities, it isn't as far as you think...
