nothing to do with VW's but cool to read, c/o Sarge

« on: July 18, 2008, 02:27:02 am »

Sarge knows how much I like driving aimlessly around, so he sent me the link to this article.... and I found it really cool. If you've never traveled this road, and I bet you have not (aside from Sheep and Bates), you might pencil it in. Parts of it are what I would consider awesome sports car territory, but other parts are just a good lesson in what else California is about aside from widlfires, chicks in spaghetti straps and beaches. I always enjoyed trips down SR33

D.B.O. Not a club; a state of mind.

Cool read. If gasoline wasn't so damned expensive, I'd love to take one of my cars on that road. Sounds fun. In the middle of the night, my friend, Joe, and I would take our Cal Look Bugs through Hwy. 74 / Ortega Canyon Highway. SUPER fun drive with lots of curves. Took my girlfriend though there, last year on the way back from Sandy Eggo... great memories, 'cause I hadn't driven it since the mid '80s.

Nowhere near as long as 33, but I can relate. We'd also get in our cars at around midnight and hit Big Bear for the mountain road aspect. Never in the winter... didn't want to mess up our clean Cal Lookers. HA!

That's a good article. I'll add that trip to my list of roadtrips that I'm going to do when I become rich and can afford to do nothing but drive around. Wouldn't it be great?

Thanks for the props, Jim

! I've had the good fortune to have traveled a good chunk of that highway, too and it's a refreshing look of how it used to be before the sprawl. ROAD TRIP!!
