Thumbs up wow! metcalf rd

i was at the shooting range today and afterwards decided to see where metcalf rd goes. well the first 2-5 milse or so are awesome. they wind back and forth clinbing into the mountains. the road eventually mellows out and finally goes to evergreen.

just letting you guys know of a nice quick drive

yerba buena leads you into metcalf correct, if so, the very end of that rd is awesome.

Yeah, it's sick. Especially if you dirt bike. It's even more fun than driving.
