Correct - it is the Ferguson Road turnoff: (it is actually located a few miles past the Hollister turnoff):

Making the left (staying on 152) takes you past the garlic processing plant to 101. If you don't follow 152 and take Ferguson Road instead, the road curves and change its name to Leavesley Road, which leads to the outlets and 101.

(When I was a kid, we used to go from Fresno to Watsonville, so I am used to the 152 routing).

There are several of these back road shortcuts. The one we use is to take 156 off of 152 toward Hollister. Turn right on Fairview, which becomes Shore Road and go to Hwy 25. Turn right on 25 to 101. Since we live in Santa Cruz, we then take 101 south to 129 and take 129 through Watsonville to Highway 1 and head north from there.

Isnt that the stupid spot where there isnt a stop sign yet everyone who is turning left stops to yield to drivers going the other way, creating 10 minute delays while everyone sits backed up waiting for them to turn?

Yes.

Save the time and put the gas money towards flights between LAX and SFO? That'd be my preference, certainly.

Flying is great if you are going solo, but if you have 2-3 traveling with you, it makes sense to drive..

Actually, it's a lot better now since the 152-156 overpass/interchange was completed, so what you've described is now a thing of the past.
