Bless my family and friends! The asked me what I wanted for my 50th birthday and they all came through. I'm going to get a chance to fulfil=
skip all that bay area nonsense and head straight for the sierras. yosemite probably will have retained some of the snow on 120 closer to the exit on the nevada exit even in june. The meadows are not to be missed, especially if you got a willing partner to roll in the hay with. Not that it stops the locals.a long time dream.On June 11, I'll be at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca to take the 3 day open wheel race driving course at the Skip Barber Racing School.-hh
Have fun.Alan Baker-hh
My girlfriend and I are going to turn it into a vacation, too: drive down from Vancouver on the preceding weekend, do the course (while the GF enjoys the Monterey Peninsula), then take a leisurely driving vacation back. A little of the wine country, a little of the coast highway... ...redwood forest.
IMO, the Monterey Aquarium isn't to be missed (by both of you); the Gilroy garlic festival is in July (YMMV if this is a good or bad thing). =A0For Redwoods, there's actually a lot of choices; I'd spent a few hours at "Big Basin" State Park awhile back and 'twas fairly nice.Alan Baker-hh
It's going to be great.
And even on-topic if you swing by Palo Alto (Apple HQ) and one of the area's golf courses.
Borat: Look, there is woman in car. Can we follow her, get her and maybe have sexy time with her? Driving instructor: No! No, you cannot do that. Borat: Why not? Driving instructor: Because a woman has the right to choose who she has sex with. Borat: [incredously] What!? Driving instructor: Yeah, how about that? Borat: You joke, right? Driving instructor: No, there must be consent. Borat: Ha-ha-ha! Driving instructor: That good, huh? Borat: Not good for me.
And, besides, the roads up there are reasonably twisty. If you turn left from I-120 onto 385 there is a looong upgrade where you'd have a huge workout for the motor at 65-85mph in 3rd. I'd wonder if miata could climb it in 4th. I doubt it will with a passenger.
Fun to see suv driver's faces when you roar past them in a low displacement 4 pot compact :^]
