Roads that contain lots and lots of history behind them
always seem to be the ones that are most fun to drive. Because, not only does
the driver have the chance to pilot their machine to his/her comfortable
limits, but they get to see incredible sights, people, and doses of history
otherwise unknown to him/her. We found that exhilaration on Hwy 25, but now we

Perhaps the best part of the drive was being able to,
surprisingly, get parking and a table for seven at the famous
Afterwards, we rolled out and drove the next stretch of
Skyline, then junctioned to Hwy 1 through Alpine Rd. and Hwy 84. Though it was
a little nerve-wrecking at times, Alpine's narrow, uneven, bumpy and sometimes
one-way road conversion was a blast. It honestly felt like we were in a
jacked-up episode of Initial D! The 84 was much more accommodating however, for
it had wide lanes, well-paved surfaces and plenty of room for drivers to and fro.
Our last stop was at a beautiful state beach off Hwy 1.
Besides the unforeseen parking fee, we enjoyed ourselves as we took some great
group photos, shared stories, and hung out.
Thanks to everybody who came out and made this happen! When
the weather gets better, we should definitely run something like this again!
