well no wonder you think calaveras is no fun

 

Palomares is great, just do it late and there is no traffic. A lot of deer though.

 

by the ways, there has been a lot of accidents out there. so be careful. plus, at my work place we were two insistence with two co-worker that got killed there on that road, where the other driver went head on into their vehicles. so we can called extra patrol on that road, just to give you all a heads up.

i work for the city and i am not sure if you know that SFWD has watershed patrol that patrol that road there and they can also get you. FYI.

 

Doesn't mean were slow by any means. All I mean't by the comment is we drive to the abilities of ourselves and cars. We never go beyond our own limits. You should come on a cruise sometime.

 

i'd be down. i havent drove calaveras in about a month.

 

yeah its been about a year since i drove it last. let me know next time you guys go

 

i love that road too. driving an explorer towing a boat down that road, it is quite an experience and with especially with all those hairpin turns.

 

A buddy of mine got a ticket at the very end of Calaveras. Keep an eye out for cops!

 

We should set something up

 

im down to run it sat night anyone else????

 

I would love to, but I already have plans

 

That used to be my backyard. I never saw any heat out there. You don't really have to wait that late for nobody to be out there. 10pm on later is usually very quiet. That road is easy going from the Sunol side to Milpitas, but much harder going from Milpitas to Sunol. I'd practice it both ways. Just driving from the Sunol side on the highway part you have to watch out for deers. There are a lot in the open fields. You'd be flying doing your thing and a second later you say to yourself, did i just pass a deer? You kind of see them out of the corner of your eye.

Another thing to watch out for is something green glowing or reflective looking. At first you think it's fireflys but then once get up close it's usually a deer.

Don't go during the day. You'll end up getting frustrated, scared of heights, or have a close call.

 

so last night i deicided to drive calaveras.it as about 9:10 when i started. pretty early right. so i was bout 1-2 minutes into the 1 lane part still kidna getting warmed up not driving to fast then i see lights ahead i kinda jumped. i then got up closer and so there was lots of lights.it was a sheriff with both spot lights shining on an old oldsmobile it looked to be.and the sherrif was facing towards sunol and the cae was facing towards milpita's

 

Grammar is your friend.

 

Damn thats bad news Sounds like I may need to find a new road or tone down the speed a bit, but thats no fun when you are by yourself...

Thanks for the heads up.
