Nice photos. It looks like a great place to open up a C5 and let her run.

Yep--see lots of hi-perf cars at times... But it's never crowded--except for the occasional RV...

fyi---used to spend Summers in Va Beach as a kid (& Norfolk, Roanoke)..

Beautiful pics. We visited that area a couple of years ago and took an off road tour of some of the canyons out there. A very cool area. Did you guys make it over to the Salton Sea? It isn't far from there.

SargeChris: And I used to live in San Diego back in the 1970's! It was my favorite place to live in America. I didn't own any C5s back then as I had a Ford Pinto.

We could see it.. But I chose to just do an out-n-back route in lieu of the Salton loop...

Small world indeed! And--how 'bout this: My 1st new car was a 1971 Pinto, base, stick, AM radio, Gold (yellow)--paid $1845 and it was on the Showroom floor.. (in my defense: I was 19 and my Olds 4-4-2 had just been totaled.. Talk about a shock!)
