I had unexpected company come in from out of town, so this weekend isn't so good for me, but I want to post a route for a Santa Cruz Mountains drive for next weekend. More info to come Mon/Tues. Hope some folks are into it!

Yep, plastidip for primer then rustoleum gold metallic
Ya, we usually have preplanned drives but it looks like the usual suspects seem to be all doing their own thing this weekend Lake Berryessa is a nice area/drive though |

This morning around 9AMish I took a drive to Stage RD again the road I took last weekend with the group. This time I was alone. I wanted to take pictures on this trip with my handy dandy phone! I started out at Saratoga the small town with little white lights at night. Slowly snaked my way to sky following a trunk. Sky vista Point overlooking the the city. Stayed there for a good 10 minutes or so enjoying the breeze and fresh air. Admiring the wonderful landscape. It was quiet. Started to drive to Alice restaurant. Spotted a lot of motorcycles in the area perhaps a club or organization. I made a left onto La Honda. The turns are so smooth it doesn't take too much steering to turn it eases right in for both wide left and right. Not too many bicyclist and it's been pretty empty throughout the trip. Few steep hills and many variety of turns. I spotted an orange Lotus! This is the picture I wanted to take during the car meet and last time with @overlookedx the trees on both sides. It feels like a red carpet for the car going into some magical place at the end of the road. Perhaps a rich mansion house or a castle! I decided to do a detour heading towards the beach instead of heading home. I met a friendly couple who were out there dolphin watching. I tried taking pictures to see if I happen to catch a dolphin...No good. They're definitely out there swimming about. The salty sea water smell a scent like no other. It wasn't cold just right. It was gorgeous out there. I went home afterwards and took a last picture of sky before leaving! I'm practicing manual mode when driving up and down pick up speed slowing down. I had some slip in the back and few quiet screech tires in the turns. Was going a between overboard and safe on the white line. Love it.

Nice pics and summary. I think that orange lotus lives in the area... last week when I turned up 35 Skyline north after we got back to Alice's I saw followed an orange Lotus too, until it turned off into one of the small side roads, maybe to a house or something.

Whew, just got back from the NV border, that was insane, but if you guys ever get the chance, the stretch of 120 between Mono lake to Benton Ca is just insane! I should have taken pics but was busy driving (and didn't want to drive the twisty mountain road at night, not very fun)
