A recent drive with some friends (much pics)
Went on a drive recently with some friends here in California and got some pics. We ran a local road called Mosquito Ridge, which has over 300 corners in 36 miles.
The road starts at "Foresthill":
Our group at the start of the drive. It ended up being pretty snowy that day (we've had a lot of snow at low elevation recently) so the drive was slow but still a blast:
My wagon:
One of the guys who couldn't make the drive down the snow covered road:
Because of this:
Here we are, 16 miles in at the end of the plowed section. Friends '04 STI in the foreground, my wagon, then a friends 98 OB:
I do love this pic - the road in question drops to the bottom of the canyon to a hydro damn. We drove it last year, they're not kidding - the discs on my brakes were glowing blue at the bottom:
My wagon again:
Wagon Mafia!
All in all, it was an awesome drive. Aside from our loud cars, it was very peaceful at the top. I love fresh snow
