Finish at *** Hill in South Salinas

Should be pretty fun. Invite whoever you want, it's going to be a drive, and although spirited driving will be allowed, we won't tolerate anyone trying to drift.

Be aware that you drive at your own risk, and we have had people get tickets for wreckless driving in the past. The grade is usually cop free, but when we hit the straights, I'd advise to keep it under 100, there are sometimes cops in the straight shots.

Let me know who plans on coming, we might even organize a bbq after at Toro park. I'll have maps and a list of phone numbers for everyone, PM me your info. We'll have motorola walkie-talkies too, we'll announce the channel the day of. Bring cameras and video camcorders, we'll be stopping at a couple places to take some pics on carmel valley road, sooo beautiful!!!

 

Hrm, this sounds like it could be fairly fun.

 

i think i might be in Hugo. lemme see what my work schedule looks like

 

Definately there...starts and ends basically in my front yard

 

hehe, it's biased to those living in Salinas, cuz we could start it in salinas or monterey, but I think the parking lot is big enough to support the amount of people I expect to come out. This is on some of the local boards, someone wanna migrate it to the mitsu forums?

 

Carmel Valley Rd. is fun - you might consider a return trip on Rt. 25 if you want to extend the driving. How many are you expecting?

Also, if you're familiar with the area, any thoughts about La Gloria Rd.?

I was driving through there the other week after some camping and was wondering about a dirt passage over the hills from 101 to 25.

 

that might be worth my to check out soon

 

there's a bunch of places around here, this won't be the last one done either, I plan to start doing these every month or other month...

We'll have to check out a few places that I know

 

:cough: old coast road :cough: thats if you're willing to get your car dirty

 

Im down.

 

what time will this happen?

 

Yup. Beautiful view from behind the bridge from there.

 

I love the enitre wooded area, but this part the best


this is NOT on this drive though....maybe next time, and I'll lead that one

 

bump. I might come down and do some hiking afterwards. Also, anyone up for checking out the Hollister OHV park afterwards?

 

I'm down for just about anything, Suzanne will be out of town so I'm not gonna have anyone........I mean anything to do.
