Wonder if this link will work:

Lincoln Way to Ice House Rd - Google Maps

Just click on the little checkbox at the top to see the map.

Couple vids from today, sorry for the bad camera angle... I jury rigged my camera mount yesterday, LOL! Got a better solution I'm working on now.

Anyway, these are with the Torque android app... Shows various readouts along with the vid, pretty cool. Note the HIGH oil temps!!!

I like the angle, been working on a little rig that straps on my head rest to get the same shot. Nice vids and cool app (just got it, thanks!), although I'm not sure I'd like the speed displayed on my youtube vids (where speed limit signs can be visible in the a few frames)

Oh man I need to start checking the NorCal regional forum more often! I only found this thread because I saw your video in the 2.0DIT oil cooler thread and recognized the trees from back home so I was doing some investigation to see what road that was.

I'm from Nevada City but live near Sac now so I often do weekend drives up in the foothills with my friend from back home in his 944 Turbo. We are always looking for new roads to tackle so it would have been fun to meet up.

Oh well, maybe next time... I guess I'll have to actually pay attention to what goes on outside of the technical topics section now.

I'm being a bit lazy with my gopro video of the drive. I'll get around to that sometime this week.
