Great drive - only thing better would be doing it at autobahn speeds. It sure beats the 6 lane highway I drive in the dark each direction.

gr1634 - put your seat belt on.

What camera did you use and how did you mount it?

Looks like an awesome drive!

The choice of the music could have been a little better...

Me too! All of your vids are a nice break from me watching this (z06 at Spa Francorchamps) countless times!

I would have a really hard time keeping my right foot from going deep on the go fast pedal.

I drive that road regularly as I have a home in the Seattle area and one in Chelan WA (170 miles each way). It is Blewett Pass on US-97 between Cle Elum and Leavenworth/Cashmere. Nice to drive on a nice day but snow/rain make it more challenging. Do NOT ever push the speed limit as the state patrol likes to "make their budget" on this road.

Morning Drive

Morning Folks,

Not my video. As I said I would love to make that drive but I am a long way off from Seattle area. Just a nice vid I found and thought I would share.

WOW! You guys found my video!

Looks like I am on my way. I am working with a lot of new equipment and I did this with my Pivot Head glasses after a Corvette show in Wenatchee WA (took best C5). Thanks for the kind remarks for this amateur. Guess I will have to post my backwoods jaunt on North Shore!
