A little drive...

...is going to be happening in approximately 7 hours.

We depart at 9:45 am from the Luther Burbank Center. We're headed north, having some fun on some back roads, having lunch in Lakeport, and having some dirt road fun on the way back. Pictures WILL be taken at different points of the drive, and we hope to capture some really nice images on the dirt road we're taking.

I'll post some pictures afterward. Yes, we have a BMW M3 coming along for the non-dirt portion of the drive...



Have fun at work, everyone! Be thankful you have jobs!

Had a great time today. Thanks, I love me some rally style dirt road runs. Gotta do it more often. Off to wash all the dirt off my baby

Afterward, I stayed and played at Sho Ka Wah casino - lost $25 bucks, but had fun for a while, and got a free t-shirt.

That's because I only wanted to see those who would jump at the chance, happen to see this early in the morning, and drop everything to go for a drive.

THOSE are the people who don't complain about how long the drive is, how dusty and rutted the dirt roads are, and how their precious front spoiler lip is getting torn off.



IF you're one of the few, let me know. I'll invite you next time. Be sure to watch the dirt drive videos (which 455H0L3 made) BEFORE you jump in with your decision.

A few from the day. I can proudly say I used my car for what it was built for.

The BMW M3 said the same thing. We parked her car at the casino, drove over Hopland, and that's why she's not in the pictures I posted.

Google Map Hwy 175 at the town of Hopland.

Follow Hwy 175 east toward Lakeport.

There will be a small road to your right - Old Toll Rd.

Follow the paved (and unpaved) road.

I'd go on the dirt roads, but I only have one car and I can't afford to have it down if something goes awry.
