Haven't been on it since July of last year.



How about a PM from one road lover to another?

 

san diego area

Highland Valley Road
78 fwy from Ramona to Julian, then back to the 8 freeway
Temecula to Palm Springs

 

Wish we had that sign in FL....

 

Going up to lake arrowhead and bear is a fun drive, ortega, the canyons by cooks corner

 

shoshone to badwater, back and forth,over and over...

Where is that located exactly? Is that close to the Los angeles area? It looks amazing! Both speeding and Fun Factor btw to your answer

 

i have always enjoyed the back roads throughout the sonoma napa counties! the problem is there are way too many tourist there for the wine....

 

halfway to vegas, left at baker(world's biggest thermometer), hwy 127(60mi.)just past shoshone, left on 178. 55 mi. to badwater(death valley). amazing road...

 

Just north of the GG Bridge in SF into Marin and Sonoma County are some great backroads... from Lucas Valley all the way to up Mendocino. Just watch out for the occasional errant bovines and Lance Armstrong's owning the road.

 

great pics bsm!

i have to admit i miss that area! as you said there are hundreds of miles all throughout that region. both west of the cities towards the ocean or east of the cities towards the vineyards.

the full loop could look something like this...start at vallejo take 29 north all the up and around clear lake, continue north on 20 to willits then continue on 20 west to the ocean. youll end up between mendocino and fort brag. then follow 1 south all the way back to the bay area!

 

angeles crest hwy is good... just gotta get over the barrier :P

Edit: any good driving spots in so cal? preferably the los angeles area? Sie_motor88 lives too far from most of these..

 

And Long Island too - it sucks here for driving. Traffic, cops, and crappy roads.

 

I haven't been out this way for 2+ years, but one of my favorite drives was the 152 between Gilroy and Watsonville. It dumps you out on the 1 at Monterey Bay and then you can go North to Santa Cruz or South to Monterey and then through Big Sur. The drive just continues to get better as you go.

 

Love the 152, esp when it's empty


Road trip comming up end fo the month for me hopefully. Plan to hit up a lot of roads north of Santa Rosa

 

I 210 exit Sunland/Foothill go north to the 7- 11, turn left and follow the road.
