Drive Time - Sunday 5/22/05

Well, as this weather gets better and better I am feeling the urge for a mountain drive. The snow should start melting at some of the lower elevations and we may be able to hit Wentworth soon. Mosquito Ridge is also a good choice as traffic (and police presence) has died down recently.

Anyone up for a drive around the middle of May? Please discuss. :banana:

I need new brakes before I do another drive. And new tires.

I was thinking the 14th/15th or 21st/22nd of May. We've traditionally done Mosquito Ridge on Memorial Day, but I'd like to go sooner.

I can't make 14th since I have to run rally cross.

Are you sure police presence has died down? Maybe it was only due to the snow?
