Whoa, 45-60 minutes to go UP Mt. Hammy? That's half a tank of gas, sheeeshh! It seems fun and all, but damn thats gonna be hardcore, we'll have to take breaks going up and coming down LOL. I do want to go though because the view is spectacular and maybe I can take some shots. Hows the weather?

One night I took a drive up there with my friend and there happened to be some people running up the mountain got to the top. Sheriff said he saw us coming up the mountain and dangerious speeds crossing lanes and all that blah blah. Then he let us go with a warning. Then he said we had to drive down slowly or else he'll call in the sheriff at the bottom to get us. Going down at 20-25 mph wasn't fun those turns took a toll on me and I had to pull over and throw up.

I may have coaxed Lauren to roll with us in her 05 STI. Some of you folks met her at the first southbay meet location in that shopping center.
