yes, and i have their hair to prove it!

 

On typical "group drives" people tend to chase each other through a lot of the best scenery, and unless your leader has the eye for locations and makes a point of stopping, you miss a lot of them.

My preferred type of "rally" would include a few paved sections where we'd be timing each other (attempting to hit ideal arrival times at legal speeds), but then giving lots of time for the unpaved- where you guys could go ahead and find good photo locations.

With the emphasis on taking pictures, the "rally" portion would be only just to keep things a little bit interesting on the transits without having people flying around on each others bumpers.

 

+1 for me... but I don't wanna go too off road since my camera will be in the car, and those damn camera and lens cost a lot...

How about a week from tomorrow? Sunday, December 21st. We meet in Santa Rosa, take a nice drive up to Hopland, then hit our first dirt road heading into Lake County.

Fuel up in Lakeport, head on across the lake to some other dirt roads - either Cow Mountain Recreation Area or Bartlett Springs area. There's an abandoned Hot Springs resort back in the woods there...somewhere. Small resort, but good for abandoned building shooting...

The weekend is out for me too, but work is shut down all week so maybe Monday or Tuesday might work...?
