Winter Wentworth Wonderland

So, it was just me and Alan on the drive. The nice thing about leaving at 8AM (actually 8:15 as we were waiting for one person in particular who never showed up) is that there is very little traffic. The ride out Salmon Falls was fun:

Not long after Georgetown, we started seeing this strange stuff on the roadside:

This was all before the first lake, so I was beginning to worry.

Finally, we got to the point where the road was just too slippery. I nearly fell on my **** taking these pics:

On the way back down, we stopped at the lake so I could take care of some personal business. This picture doesn’t do justice to the awesome view:

It was a bit cold up there and my engine was loving it:

All in all, it was fun. I just wish more folks had showed up. I'm going to have to adjust that 37.1% no show factor upwards.

haha, I wish I'd gone but I'd have been too tired. I woke up at 8:30 and could barely open my eyes so I passed back out till 11

Glad you guys had fun

I'll bet that he didn't make it as far as you guys did.

Nice pics. I especially like the pic of the lake. By any chance do you have a higher resolution version?

I'd be down to do a drive sometime. I'm taking my WRX in to autowest Monday morning for the seat recall so I can't do it this week. Maybe the following.



All times are GMT -7. The time now is 08:08 PM.
