i used to run that canyon FREQUENTLY in my MR2. i don't know why he refers to it as "on the way to Spunky," because Spunky Cnyn Rd is off of Boquet Canyon Road, a few miles past the end of that road, and personally, the road he's on is MUCH better. spunky is too short and dare i say it, too tight/twisty. i wonder if he was running the same loop i used to run, lol. could run it around in circles, roughly 150 mile loop including all highway connections between canyons.

i would usually run that one in the opposite direction that he's driving it in the video, making it from the In-N-Out burger on the North end to the 7-11 on the South end in roughly 18-20 minutes.

and not to nitpick, but he's hardly using the car. also, i don't care for the amount of shuffle steering i'm seeing going on.

anyway, it's a GREAT road, and not as popular as some of the other SoCal roads. at least, not when i ran them, things might have changed since the last time i ran there.
